Cloth Crafting Guide
Windurst Woods is the main guild, where you turn in your test items, turn in guild point items, ask about recipes, etc. Selbina has only a guild store, and Al Zahbi has a guild store, Advanced Synthesis Image Support (for the price of 1 Imperial Bronze Piece), and Synthesis Image Support.
Items you might want to buy from guilds and their lowest prices.
Flax Flower (187g)
Sheep Wool (675g)
Crawler Cocoon (Minimum ~120g, more often up to ~750g)
Wamoura Cocoon (~750g) (Al Zahbi) (3/day, 6 on earthsday)
Grass Thread (45g)
Cotton Thread (Minimum ~120g, more often up to ~768g)

(0-14) Grass and Cotton

Grass Cloth (4)
Earth Crystal
Grass Thread x 3
Buy Grass Thread from guilds. The thread should be 45g at the guild

Goldsmithing (21)
Earth Crystal
Copper Ingot x 2
Cotton Thread x 3


Cape (8) (Test Item for Recruit)
Earth Crystal
Grass Cloth x 2
Grass Thread x 1


Cotton Thread (11)
Lightning Crystal
Saruta Cotton x2
Generally, 2 stacks of Saruta Cotton are worth more on the AH than 1 stack of Cotton Thread

Hachimaki (11)
Wind Crystal
Grass Cloth x 2
Synth and desynth these. I would recommend getting to level 6 before using this recipe.


Cotton Cloth (12)
Earth Crystal
Cotton Thread x3
Generally, 3 stacks of Cotton Thread are worth much more on the AH than 1 stack of Cotton Cloth

Red Grass Thread (15)
Lightning Crystal
Red Moko Grass x 2
Red Moko Grass is only obtainable from harvesting in West Sarutabaruta, Giddeus, Bhaflau Thickets, and (I'm not sure about this) Wajaom Woodlands. It's actually fairly common from Bhaflau Thickets

Red Grass Cloth (16)

Red Grass Thread x 3
Sell the cloth on the Auction House.

Grass Thread is ridiculously cheap. This is a cheap synth to skill up on if you are not doing the Mohbwa recipes. This is not worth the Lightning Crystal to desynth; just NPC it.

Capping on this would be a good idea, considering what comes ahead after this.
(90-100) Clothcraft Hell
Honestly, there aren't any great synths to do anymore. Just look at prices on your server and try to minimize loss.
