Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail introduces a new class of Crafters’ and Gatherers’ Scrips: Orange. This change makes it easier to obtain Purple Scrips, and players can use these vouchers to obtain items such as Crafting Master Recipe Books, Materia, and materials. Gathering Purple Scrips will be an important task for players who want to focus on crafting and gathering in Dawntrail.
Purple Crafters’ Scrips
Crafting a level 99 Collectable will yield the most Purple Crafters’ Scrips. However, different Jobs will have different crafting difficulties. This is because different recipes require different materials. Taking into account the cost, difficulty of obtaining materials, and the number of Scrips obtained, we found some of the best options and their corresponding recipes:
Leatherworker - Rarefied Gargantuaskin Trousers
- 8 Gargantua Hide - 24 Bicolor Gemstones
- 2 Acacia Bark - Botany
- 5 Levinsilk - Botany
- 5 Ra'Kaznar Ore - Mining
- 1 Magnesia Powder - Mining
Weaver - Rarefied Thunderyards Silk Gloves
- 10 Levinsilk - Botany
- 4 Gargantua Hide - 12 Bicolor Gemstones
- 1 Acacia Bark - Botany
- 5 Ra'Kaznar Ore - Mining
- 1 Magnesia Powder - Mining
Culinarian - Rarefied Stuffed Peppers
- 6 Turali Corn - Botany
- 5 Ut'ohmu Tomato - Botany
- 1 Dragon Pepper - Botany
- 1 Alpaca Fillet - 3 Bicolor Gemstones
- 3 Bell Pepper - Botany
When choosing the best crafting option, Rarefied Stuffed Peppers is an excellent choice because it requires the least number of collectible items. In addition, the basic materials required for Turali Corn Oil and Ut’ohmu Chili Sauce can actually make three collectibles. Rarefied Gargantuaskin Trousers and Rarefied Thunderyards Silk Gloves require more items per crafting. They also cost more if obtained from the Market Board with Bicolor Gemstones or FFXIV Gil.
For other quests, the collectible is less appealing because of its recipe requiring Black Stars. This item requires two tiers of pre-crafting, so it is more time-consuming to collect numerous collectible items. This also means that the number of items collected per crafting is much higher than the other options mentioned previously.
However, if you don’t mind spending more time, the rare Rakazna War Scythe crafted through Blacksmith is a good choice, especially if you have a Miner Retainer to help you collect more.
Purple Gatherers’ Scrips
To collect Purple Scrips for Gatherers, you need to have Miner and Botanist up to level and fully equipped, then collect the timed nodes that appear within two Eorzean hour intervals. These items will reward 14 to 16 Purple Gatherers’ Scrips at base Collectability, and 35 to 38 at maximum Collectability of 1,000.
If you don’t have enough gear to reach the maximum Collectability of Dawntrail materials, you can collect Collectables from previous expansions.
What To Spend Purple Scrips On?
Without Crafting and Gathering, you can also make good money by making weekly Custom Deliveries and converting your Scrips to Materia. But before converting Purple Scrips to Materia, it’s best to first obtain every Master Recipe Book for every Crafting Job, as well as all Regional Folklore Books for Gatherers.
Each Crafter Master Recipe Book costs 1,200 Purple Crafters’ Scrips. For Gatherers, each Regional Folklore Book costs 1,600 Purple Gatherers’ Scrips.
Once you have these items, you can choose to sell them or use them to fuse equipment, or focusing on stocking up on Crafter and Gatherer Materia.
In short, Pentamelding a full set of Crafting or Gathering equipment, requires a lot of Purple Scrips, so you need to get as many Purple Scrips as possible.
