Here's a Walkthrough on how to get the Trainee's Needle!

'''Walkthrough''': 
1. Speak with [[Hampu-Kampu]] at (G-8) in [[Windurst Waters (S)]] South Map. 
2. Head to (K-4) in [[Windurst Waters (S)]] North Map and examine the Door:Acolyte Hostel on the second floor. 
This will trigger a cutscene. 
3. Return to [[Hampu-Kampu]] and after the cutscene you will receive Key Item: Torn Patches of Leather. 
4. Go to the ground floor of the Tanners' Guild (San d'Oria) (D-8) in present day [[Southern San d'Oria]], and talk to [[Kipopo]] to trigger a cutscene. 
She will ask you to bring [[Laminated Ram Leather]], [[Sheep Leather]] and a [[Silk Thread]]. 
5. You will have to zone after trading the materials to Kipopo. Then speak with Kipopo to trigger another cutscene and receive the Repaired Handbag. 
Return to Windurst Waters (S) and speak with Hampu-Kampu to trigger a cutscene. 
6. Offer him the handbag to receive your reward.(Optional) Return back to Kipopo in Southern San d'Oria in the present with your Trainee's Needle equipped for an additional cutscene and more information about her father. 

==Important Guild Point Items==

70,000 - [[Tanner's Gloves]] - Journeyman - A pair of gloves that gives +1 to your Leathercraft skill

80,000 - [[Tanner's Ring]] - Craftsman - Leathercraft Success Rate +1%. Cannot synthesize high quality items.

100,000 - [[Tanner's Apron]] - Artisan - An apron that gives +1 to your Leathercraft skill

15,000 - [[Tanners' Emblem]] - Veteran - Probably one of the most important things to get for a Leathercrafter. Used to make a [[Tanners' Stall]], which gives you Leathercraft Skill +5 when placed inside your Mog House

==Advanced Support NPCs==

'''Orechiniel''' - [[Southern San d'Oria]] (E-8)
[[Zwaluh]] - [[Al Zahbi]] (G-11)

==Leathercraft Skill Armor and Other Useful Items==

[[Tanner's Torque]]: Obtained from brown Treasure Casket in [[Quicksand Caves]]. Gives +2 to [[Leathercraft]] skill. Lv. 70 to equip it, and it can be used right away from Lv. 0 Leathercraft all the way to the end. ''VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED'' you obtain this before you get started.

[[Artificer's Ring]]: Obtained from NPC "[[Wortherton]]" in [[Western Adoulin]] in exchange for 20,000 [[Bayld]] - This nifty little ring increases the rate of synthesis success, and can be worn at Lv. 1. Very helpful item while you're skilling up.

[[Craftmaster's Ring]]: Obtained from NPC "[[Wortherton]]" in [[Western Adoulin]] in exchange for 20,000 [[Bayld]] - This ring increases the rate of HQ success by 1%. For those times you want to try and HQ something to sell for big bucks! Can come in handy when you hit 90+ Leathercraft. I'll explain soon.

[[Craftkeeper's Ring]]: Obtained from NPC "[[Wortherton]]" in [[Western Adoulin]] in exchange for 20,000 [[Bayld]] - This ring decreases the likelihood of losing items in case a synthesis attempt fails. This ring is optional but not necessary.

[[Orvail Ring]]: Obtained as a reward for completing the "[[Seekers of Adoulin]]" mission line - This ring is a must have for any serious crafter and should be worn full-time while you are crafting! Not only does it offer a +5% chance of getting a skill up from your synthesis attempt, it also combines the bonuses from the other 3 rings ([[Artificer's Ring]], [[Craftmaster's Ring]], [[Craftkeeper's Ring]]) into one small package! If you're attempting to HQ a potential big money item, this ring + [[Craftmaster's Ring]] = profit

[[Shaper's Shawl]]: Obtained via "[[Inside the Belly]]" quest in [[Selbina]]. Trade NPC "[[Zaldon]]" a [[Matsya]] for a chance at obtaining the [[Shaper's Shawl]]. This will also increase your skill up rate. This item is recommended, but not necessary. It took me nearly 400 [[Matsya]] (both caught and purchased) to get my [[Shaper's Shawl]]. Some don't bother getting it, or just gave up.

==Leathercrafting Basics==

Since a lot of [[Leathercraft]]ing involves turning hides into leather, the 3 main items you will need a lot of are [[Dark Crystal]]s, [[Windurstian Tea Leaves]], and [[Distilled Water]]. [[Distilled Water]] is cheap (12g each) at Raimbroy's Grocery in [[Southern San d'Oria]] near the Leathercraft Guild. Windurstian Tea Leaves can be bought from the NPC Baehu-Faehu in Windurst Waters for 18-22g each. [[Dark Crystal]]s are easily farmed in [[Sky]], where there are multiple [[Dark Elemental]]s roaming the area. Farm the clusters as much as you can, as [[Dark Crystal]]s will be used the most during your skilling up. [[Wind Crystal]]s, [[Earth Crystal]]s, and [[Ice Crystal]]s are used as well. Feel free to stock up on those as well.

==The Guide Itself==

Everything listed will show a range, from when you can start making the synth up to +10 over it's cap. Keep that in mind if you wish to begin making something new sooner.

'''0-12''' - [[Sheep Leather]] - [[Dark Crystal]]: [[Sheepskin]], [[Windurstian Tea Leaves]], [[Distilled Water]]

'''12-21''' - [[Solea]] - [[Wind Crystal]]: [[Sheep Leather]] x 2 - Can start this as soon as 6. Synth and Desynth to continue making more

'''21-31''' - [[Dhalmel Leather]] - [[Dark Crystal]]: [[Dhalmel Hide]], [[Windurstian Tea Leaves]], [[Distilled Water]] - Can start this as soon as 17. Take this to at least 29 but possible to get to 31

'''31-45''' - [[Ram Leather]] - [[Dark Crystal]]: [[Ram Skin]], [[Windurstian Tea Leaves]], [[Distilled Water]] - [[Hammering Ram]]s in Abyssea LaThiene have a near 100% drop rate on [[Ram Skin]]s assuming at least TH3. Good way to save gil, and later on, make some gil.

'''45-59''' - [[Ram Mantle]] - [[Ice Crystal]]: [[Ram Skin]], [[Wool Thread]] - Good if you have [[Clothcraft]] sub leveled. If not, buy [[Wool Thread]]s from AH. NPC your results

'''59-71''' - [[Tiger Leather]] - [[Dark Crystal]]: [[Tiger Hide]], [[Windurstian Tea Leaves]], [[Distilled Water]] - Sell your results on AH for great profit.

'''70-80''' - [[Behemoth Leather]] - [[Dark Crystal]]: [[Behemoth Hide]], [[Windurstian Tea Leaves]], [[Distilled Water]] - [[Behemoth Hide]]s are readily available at the AH due to people trying for [[Defending Ring]]. Buy what you can, convert to [[Behemoth Leather]], and hold them for later. Can start on this as soon as 65 (Thanks to Firedemon for this entry suggestion)

'''71-81''' - [[Coeurl Leather]] - [[Dark Crystal]]: [[Coeurl Hide]], [[Windurstian Tea Leaves]], [[Distilled Water]] - Farm Master Coeurls in Sanctuary of Zi'tah, don't sell the leather. There's a clever way to get rid of these coming up next!

'''81-82''' - [[Coeurl Cesti]] - [[Earth Crystal]]: [[Cesti]], [[Coeurl Leather]] - NPC these after you make them. It's a 1 level jump but it's a great way to get rid of the [[Coeurl Leather]] and make a little gil in the process.

'''82-90''' - [[Manticore Leather]] - [[Dark Crystal]]: [[Manticore Hide]], [[Windurstian Tea Leaves]], [[Distilled Water]]

'''90-94''' - [[Raaz Leather]] - [[Dark Crystal]]: [[Raaz Hide]], [[Windurstian Tea Leaves]], [[Distilled Water]] - Can start this as soon as 80 if you like

'''94-107''' - [[Square of Griffon Leather]] - [[Dark Crystal]]: Griffon Hide, [[Windurstian Tea Leaves]], [[Distilled Water]] - Buy hides off the AH, or farm them in Dynamis San d'Oria. Sell results on the AH for profit

'''99-109''' - [[Dynamic Belt]] - [[Wind Crystal]]: [[Behemoth Leather]], [[Mercury]], [[Umbril Ooze]] - Use your stockpiled [[Behemoth Leather]] here. Can start on this as soon as 94. NPC your NQ results. Sell any HQ results on the AH for some profit. (Thanks to Firedemon for this entry suggestion)

'''97-110''' - [[Aetosaur Gloves]] - [[Earth Crystal]]: [[Squamous Hide]], [[Raaz Leather]], [[Leather Gloves]] - [[Squamous Hide]] are a crappy drop rate. Buy them off the AH when available. Can start making this as soon as 97. Caps at 101, can get you to 110.

The items below are the current "big ticket" items that can help you make some big gil with some luck. Keep in mind, with the [[Tanner's Torque]], body, hands, [[Tanners' Stall]] in your mog house, and HQ support from the guild, you can reach T1 HQ status when you are 1 below the recipe's cap. The items below will have the level you need to reach before you can attempt to HQ these items listed. This is also assuming you have all relevant sub crafts capped at 70 as well, so keep that in mind!

'''91''' + Clothcraft sub - [[Cursed Pumps]]: [[Earth Crystal]] - [[Siren's Macrame]], [[Velvet Cloth]], [[Gold Thread]], [[Rainbow Cloth]], [[Manticore Leather]] - Keep any HQ you make, sell NQs to NPC.

'''91''' - [[Bewitched Pumps]]/[[Voodoo Pumps]]: [[Earth Crystal]] - [[Cursed Pumps -1]], [[Eschite Ore]] - Sell NQ results on AH, Bazaar any HQ results.

'''106''' + Clothcraft sub - [[Hexed Boots]]: [[Earth Crystal]] - [[Silver Thread]], [[Lynx Leather]], [[Kukulkan's Skin]], [[Serica Cloth]] - The Kuku Skin are rare on the AH as well as Serica Cloth so keep that in mind. NPC your NQ, keep your HQ.
