FFXIV – Complete Carpenter Leves Guide

Leves as far as the eye can see for Carpenters!
This article is over 11 years old and may contain outdated information

Finding yourself slowing down a bit while leveling your Carpenter class in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn? Fear not! For here are a number of leves available to Carpenters to get that extra boost of experience you so desperately need.

Recommended Videos

There are three types of tradecraft leves available. They are highlighted below so you can use this list to its utmost.

(This article has been updated with the 2.1 EXP amounts! Introduction still needs to be updated.)

The list here is fairly straightforward, but there are some things that need to be explained:

  1. The base experience gain is listed. You will receive double the base experience for HQ turn-ins. Normal quality turn-in rewards are marked as NQ and high quality turn-in rewards are marked with HQ.
  2. Triple turn-in/charity leves have the triple turn-in rewards in parenthesis with an asterisk next to them.
  3. Some zones have multiple levemetes. If the one listed isn’t at the levemete you are currently at, check with the other one.
  4. ‘Constancy’, ‘Charity’, and ‘Ingenuity’ mark the type of leves these are.
    1. ‘Constancy’ means both the levemete and turn-in NPC are in the same area. These are marked with (C).
    2. ‘Charity’ means the leve can be turned in three times (also known as a repeatable leve). These are marked with (T).
    3. ‘Ingenuity’ means the levemete and the turn-in NPC are in separate areas.  These are marked with (I).
