View source for Expert Recipes

[[Expert Recipes]] are a new type of endgame crafting recipe first added in [[patch 5.21]]. Expert recipes are indicated with an {{ExpertRecipe}}  icon in the crafting log.

These recipes are much harder to craft than normal recipes and require dynamically reacting to conditions. The newest expert recipes require the highest item level crafter gear fully ("penta") [[Materia Melding|melded]] with the highest-grade [[materia]] currently available, in addition to the best [[meals]] and [[medicines]] for crafters. 

Expert crafts cannot be completed using {{action icon|Trained Eye}}, although older expert recipes become easier to craft over time with the addition of better gear. With sufficiently high stats, it is possible to complete older recipes using fixed [[macro]]s like one would use for other recipes.

==Expert Recipe Uses==
*Level 80 expert crafts are the best source of skyward score points when submitted to the [[Ishgardian Restoration]] and are also used to make components for [[Skybuilders' Tools|Skybuilders']] and [[Resplendent Tools]]. 
*Level 90 expert crafts are currently used to acquire the {{item icon|Water Otter Fountain}}, {{item icon|Uncharted Course}}, and {{item icon|Aetherial Arbor}}, which are exclusive landmark structures for [[Island Sanctuary]], and the {{item icon|Smaller Water Otter Fountain}}, an [[Outdoor Furnishing]]. They are also used to make components for the last two stages of [[Splendorous Tools]]: [[Vrandtic Visionary's Tools]] and [[Lodestar Tools]].

==Crafting Expert Recipes==
When crafting expert recipes, the condition will not change to "excellent" or "poor." However, in addition to "normal" and "good," the following new conditions may occur:

{| {{STDT|crafting }}
|-
!Condition
!Effect
|-
| Centered || Increases action success rate by 25%.
|-
| Sturdy || Reduces loss of durability by 50%.<br>* Effect can be stacked with {{action icon|Waste Not}} and {{action icon|Waste Not II}}.
|-
| Pliant || Reduces CP cost by 50%.
|-
| Malleable || Increases to progress are 1.5 times higher than normal.
|-
| Primed || Next status granted by an action will last two additional steps.
|-
| Good Omen || Guarantees "Good" material condition for the next step.
