There are a variety of different ways to make the most of crafting and gathering inFinal Fantasy XIV, as the fruits of your labor can lead to some truly enticing rewards. As the game continues to add more content for Eorzea’s ambitious artisans, there are certain niches that stand out above the rest.
One of those niches inFinal Fantasy 14is Custom Deliveries, which to date is one of the game’s most popular avenues for leveling such jobs without being stuck at the grindstone for hours, literally. If you want to take a crack at some of them, then you’ll need to know where to find them.
What Are Custom Deliveries in FFXIV?
Custom Deliveriesare special crafting and gathering questlines helmed by certain NPCs throughout each expansion that provide numerous benefits to players. Not only do they give copious amounts of leveling experience to whichever crafter or gatherer you choose along with crafting/gatheringScrips, but there are also various enticing material rewards to collect for your efforts, frommountsto glamours.
These questlines involve acquiring different collectable-type goods requested by the respective NPC client during any given week. Again, they can be crafted or gathered with any qualifying job you have, as long as that job meets the minimum level requirement.Collectablesare a unique type of item with their own system of procurement that involves using special abilities to manifest the highest quality of that item possible. The higher its quality score, the greater the rewards you’ll receive in return.
To unlock the ability to gather Collectables in the game, you first need to complete the’Inscrutable Tastes’Level 50 quest, which you pick up fromMorgaynein Isghard’s Foundation at (X:10.1, Y:10.4). This will also lead you to other quests that allow you to unlock Scrip Exchange points in subsequent expansions, starting with Idyllshire inHeavensward. You will also need them to unlock access to these Custom Delivery clients by unlocking that expansion’s inventory of special collectible items.
The quests you need include the following:
Each week, the NPC client will ask for different items, which will vary depending on the job. The more collectable items you bring them, your reputation with them will improve via a Satisfaction Gauge. Once it reaches a certain threshold, you’ll gain a new level of trust with the client and more opportunities to acquire different items for them.
Once you reach the final stage of their Satisfaction Gauge, you’ll usually receive a grand reward for all your efforts, such as a mount or a full glamour set. What’s more, they’ll often give you permission to dress them in a glamour of your choosing for future deliveries.
All Custom Deliveries Locations in FFXIV (How to Unlock)
WithDawntrail’s latest Patch 7.2 update, there are currently11 different Custom Delivery clientsthat you can work with, across all expansions fromHeavenswardup toDawntrail. Each client has their own requirements for participating in their questlines, so make sure your character is properly leveled and equipped before seeking them out. You may also need to reach a certain point in the respective expansion’s MSQ (Main Scenario Questline) before they become accessible.
Remember, unlikeAllied Society questlines(aka “Beast Tribes”), which can span across all job types in the game, Custom Deliveries are exclusively for crafters and gatherers.
