What to Buy with White Crafters Scrips in FFXIV (Patch 6.5)

Time is money and so are scrips.

Flipping White Crafter Scrips into gil is an exercise that’s done frequently by players in Final Fantasy XIV. Yet, sometimes it’s difficult to figure out what to buy as currencies build up.

Diving into the crafting game will allow players to unlock a few currencies when they’ve accessed the scrip token system via the Inscrutable Tastes questline. Once unlocked, the player will find currencies like White Crafters’ Scrips quickly reaching cap when they turn in crafting collectables either to the Collectable Appraiser or through Custom Deliveries.

The Scrip Exchange vendor furnishes multiple pages of items for purchase with White Crafters' Scrips. Once you’re ready to spend your scrips there are a few interesting options to choose from such as master recipes, materia, flippable items, and more.

Buying master recipes with White Crafter Scrips in FFXIV

Master recipes are crafting books within the game that unlock numerous craftable items. Endwalker added master recipes IX and X which allow you to make items like the Indagator’s crafting and gathering gear, Diadochos job gear, map outfits, food, tinctures, and miscellaneous expert crafts. These will require a lofty amount of scrips. However, if you want, you can purchase all sets of books from tier III to top tier from the Scrip Exchange. Each numbered collection is sorted by job.

You’ll need 12,800 scrips total if you’re looking to update your master recipe list with books IX and X. If you’re wanting to buy each set from tier III to tier X it will require 21,600 White Crafter Scrips to purchase. That number will increase with the addition of new books in Dawntrail.

Buying materia with White Crafters' Scrips

Materia is still quite useful to buy for pentamelding and beyond since you are able to purchase materia sets from the Scrip Exchange with White Crafter Scrips. If you’ve yet to pentameld your gear this can be a cheaper option than spending gil outright. They can also sell well as older materia can be relevant in future expansions.
