Expert Craft & Guides
Hello, I teach how to Expert Craft in XIV. I've made a power point guide that is updated* and will continue to update for each Cosmic Exploration Planet with EX+ examples. *(Guide is WIP as of November 2025 for Phaenna Triples.)If you wish you can reach out to me for help/questions that you have about expert crafting.

If you fail the 1st WVR and it's after 06:00, start the GSM Non Triple before 08:00.12:00 (12 PM - 2 PM) 14:00 - Start BSM or CUL Triple I>II>III and finish by 18:00-20:00.

If you fail the 1st GSM and it's after 22:00, start the BSM/CUL Non Triple before 23:59. These choices allow the player for a 70/3, or roughly 23 minute window, to complete each triple set. 9 missions for 3k tokens, 18 missions for 6k. 140 minutes total with ample time to do each mission. If you're faster than 23 minutes per triple (my average is 15 minutes) and don't care about the 5 minute 50 second downtime on non-specialist choices you can make even more per 70 minutes.
