At this point, I did Parchment (31) up to 25 and then Ram Leather to 35. However, there are several other interesting alternatives that I did not use.

Wolf Mantle (33)

Standard Mantle. I would skip it, though, and go straight to Ram Leather.


Ram Leather (35)
Dark Crystal
Distilled Water
Windurstian Tea Leaves
Ram Skin
Ram Leather (36)
Dark Crystal

Willow Log
Ram Skin

Alternatively, the Ram Skins should not sell for more than 1000 gil on Auction House (or rather, you should not pay more than 1000 gil). If you pay 2000 gil or more, you are just asking to lose money on the synth. Hold on to the Ram Leather for later synths, or sell at decent profit.

Oh, I do not doubt this is a useless craft. The only thing for which Catoblepas Leather is good is Relic Armor +1. But ... 1) the Hides sell for 1000 gil
