Unlocking Endwalker’s Crafting Potential: A Deep Dive into Purple Crafters’ Scrips

Purple Crafters’ Scrips are a vital currency in Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker, earned by high-level crafters and used to acquire essential crafting materials, gear, and other valuable items. Think of them as the lifeblood of the endgame crafting economy, allowing dedicated artisans to create the most powerful equipment and consumables in the game. Mastering the acquisition and usage of these scrips is key to maximizing your crafting potential.

Earning Your Purple Stripes: How to Acquire Purple Crafters’ Scrips

The primary method for earning Purple Crafters’ Scrips revolves around Collectable crafting. This involves crafting specific items from the “Collectables” section of your Crafting Log (found under “Special Recipes”) and turning them in at Scrip Exchange vendors. The quality (collectability) of the item you turn in directly impacts the number of scrips you receive. Higher collectability, higher scrips!

Specifically, you’ll want to focus on level 90 recipes. While earlier recipes can yield some scrips, the level 90 versions offer the most efficient return on your crafting investment. Look for recipes that are relatively easy for you to craft at a high collectability level.

Another excellent way to earn Purple Crafters’ Scrips is through Custom Deliveries. After completing the Endwalker main story and unlocking Custom Deliveries, you can fulfill specific crafting requests from NPCs like Ameliance Leveilleur and Anden. These deliveries reward you with both White and Purple Crafters’ Scrips, making them a consistent and rewarding source of income. Keep in mind that Custom Deliveries have a weekly cap, so make sure to utilize all your allowances for maximum scrip gain.
