Blacksmith’s market value is tied to two distinct economies — combat gear for physical DPS jobs which peaks at patch launches, and crafting tools for other Disciples of the Hand which sell year-round at consistent prices. Master Blacksmith recipe books unlock at cap, covering current-tier weapons and tools that command the highest Gil-per-craft ratios on the Market Board. Crafting tools are particularly valuable because every serious crafter needs updated tools at each expansion, making Blacksmith one of the few jobs with guaranteed demand regardless of where the combat meta sits.

Buy FFXIV Blacksmith Boost and arrive at your target level with full access to current-tier weapon and tool recipes — Market Board ready from the moment the service completes.
At cap, Blacksmith crafts current-tier main-hand and off-hand weapons for physical DPS jobs including Samurai, Dragoon, Monk, Ninja, Reaper, and Viper, as well as crafting tools for multiple Disciples of the Hand. Glamour weapons with distinctive visual designs also appear in Master Blacksmith books — these sell independently of gear power level because the Market Board for glamour items doesn’t reset with patches the way combat gear does. Housing items including metal furniture, decorations, and structural pieces round out the high-Gil end of the Blacksmith catalog.

No — recipe access is tied to job level, not quest completion. Job quests reward specific items including cosmetic gear, optional materials, and story content, but skipping them doesn’t lock any crafting recipes or Market Board access. The expansion-specific job quest add-ons are worth selecting for the rewards and story — particularly Dawntrail job quests which provide materials useful for cap-level crafting rotations — but the main leveling service delivers the target level and full recipe access regardless of quest completion.
