Escutcheon Crafter Points

Guessing you are GOLD from the profile. I would do 70 or 85 from the looks of it. You want to find a good balance of what you have available or gil and work from there. FYI voidwatch campaign inc can get tons of gold/plat ingots soon.

Or if you get a lot of Phrygian Gold do the set 94.

This is a loaded question. There are a number of factors to consider when deciding which crafter item to focus on:

- Availability of mats
- Cost of mats per crafter points
- What’s your main goal? (Minimizing GP to CP ratio or is minimizing the overall cost most important?)

Due to the ranges on the different tier of crafting results I have personally found it best to do the highest set possible because your base points will be higher for doing a 95 set vs say doing the 70.

I personally did the set 90 for alchemy because mats were readily available. The NQ averaged around 61-62 and the HQ3 went up to the 130s.

The lower set numbers tend to have cheaper and more readily available mats but the NQ result will be much lower and the HQs equally lower. Set 70 tends to range around 48-50 for the NQ. So this route may cost you more GP in the end to finish.

To answer in short: goldsmithing set 80.
1. Targe from sparks
2. Gold ingot - ores always in guild or ingots in AH
3. Mercury - could desynth cobalt jelyfish (Whitegate or Bibiki Bay NPC) or farm then in Abyssea Altepa aura statues.

I found it the cheapest and mats always available to you.
