FFXI: Bonecraft Leveling Guide

In Final Fantasy XI (FFXI), Boneworkers are able to create armor, weapons, ammunition, and jewelry through combining different materials (mostly the bones and exoskeletons of various creatures) and crystals.

A lot of the supplies you need for Bonecrafting can be purchased from guild merchant or from other players for FFXI Gil, so you might want to buy FFXI Gil to ensure that you have enough funds for your crafting materials.

Bonecrafting Ranks and Tests

To become a Boneworker, go to the upper level of the primary Boneworker’s Guild in Windurst Woods (H-13) and speak to Guildmaster Peshi Yohnts. You will then become a Boneworker with the rank Amateur.

To advance your rank as a Boneworker, you have to speak to Peshi Yohnts and complete the tests she gives you. These tests will require you to craft specific items.

As with all the crafts, there are 9 ranks in Bonecrafting. Below is a table listing the ranks, what skill level you need to be at to take your next test, and what item you need to craft (ingredients for the items can be found in the Recipes section of this guide).

Guild Points

Each craft has a Guild Union Representative and you can turn in a certain item each day to the representative and receive Guild Points as a reward. To begin doing this as a Boneworker, you will have to speak to Samigo-Pormigo at the Windurst Woods (H-12) and sign a contract (note that signing another contract will cause you to forfeit any Guild Points you accumulated while under your first contract). You can use your Guild Points to purchase tools, key item abilities, and signature crystals.

Below is a table of items you can purchase using your Guild Points. Signature Crystals (crystals that can be used in place of regular Crystals while crafting and adds the crafter’s “signature” to the crafted items) can be purchased at any rank, but the other items and abilities that can be purchased require you to be at a certain guild rank.
