Synthesis (colloquially Crafting) is a major gameplay feature, mechanic and term in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn carried over from the original release. It is tied heavily to the Armor System, and can be used to craft weapons, armor and tools. Synthesis is not required for the Main Scenario Quests, and is therefore skippable, but can earn the adventurer a lot of gil and allow them to craft equipment for their own classes. While it is not necessary, leveling up a Disciple of the Land gathering class allows the items for Synthesis to be more easily acquired.

Process

Synthesis is begun from the Crafting Log, and any Disciple of the Hand class can perform synthesis as soon as their appropriate tool is equipped. Other than the tool, Synthesis requires materials and crystals to function.

Classes

The following classes are Disciples of the Hand and can perform Synthesis:
