Navigating custom deliveries in Final Fantasy XIV requires specific crafting materials, and school supply components serve as the mandatory building blocks for Ameliance Leveilleur's custom delivery requests introduced in patch 6.15. If you're leveling up your Disciples of the Hand or farming satisfaction points, you'll need a steady supply of these items. You purchase them directly from a specific vendor in Old Sharlayan using gil, rather than gathering or crafting them from raw nodes.
Understanding how to acquire and utilize these components saves you time and gil while maximizing your weekly allowances. Let's break down where to find them, how much they cost, and what recipes require them to level your crafters efficiently.
Where to Buy School Supply Components
You can't gather school supply components from mining nodes or botanical trees. Instead, you must purchase them from a specific NPC in the expansion hub.
Head to Old Sharlayan and locate the NPC named Synnove at coordinates (X: 12.8, Y: 10.3) in The Agora. Synnove acts as the specialized vendor for Ameliance's custom delivery supplies. Each unit of the item costs 1,600 gil.
Because custom deliveries reset weekly, you'll want to calculate how many turn-ins you plan to do before buying. If you max out your weekly allowances for Ameliance, you'll need enough components to cover each craft. Buying them in bulk prevents multiple trips back and forth to the vendor.
Requirements and Restrictions
Before you spend your gil, it helps to understand the restrictions tied to these materials:
- You must have unlocked Ameliance Leveilleur's custom deliveries in Final Fantasy XIV Official Site.
- The item itself is untradable and market prohibited, meaning you can't buy or sell them on the Market Board. You have to purchase them yourself.
- There is no level requirement to buy the components, but your Disciples of the Hand must reach Level 83 to use them in recipes.
- Each component has a stack size of 999, so storage won't become an issue if you hoard them.
Recipes Using School Supply Components
Once you have your components, you can use them across all eight Disciples of the Hand classes at level 83. Every crafting job has a dedicated recipe that yields the turn-in item for Ameliance. Each recipe requires 1x School Supply Components alongside class-specific crystals.
Here are the recipes you can tackle:
- Carpenter: 1x School Supply Components, 4x Wind Crystal, 2x Ice Crystal
- Blacksmith: 1x School Supply Components, 4x Fire Crystal, 2x Earth Crystal
- Armorer: 1x School Supply Components, 1x Earth Crystal, 4x Ice Crystal
- Goldsmith: 1x School Supply Components, 4x Wind Crystal, 2x Fire Crystal
- Leatherworker: 1x School Supply Components, 4x Earth Crystal, 2x Wind Crystal
- Weaver: 1x School Supply Components, 2x Wind Crystal, 4x Lightning Crystal
- Alchemist: 1x School Supply Components, 4x Water Crystal, 2x Lightning Crystal
- Culinarian: 1x School Supply Components, 4x Fire Crystal, 2x Water Crystal
Each craft features a difficulty of 2600, a durability of 60, and a maximum quality of 4960. You'll want a recommended craftsmanship stat of around 2438 to make the crafts smooth, especially if you're aiming for maximum collectable rating.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Crafters often run into avoidable pitfalls when dealing with custom deliveries. Keep these tips in mind to protect your resources:
- Don't check the Market Board first. Since the item is untradable, searching for it on player boards wastes time. Go straight to Synnove in Old Sharlayan.
- Don't buy more than you need for the week unless you have excess gil. Calculate your remaining weekly allowances before purchasing.
- Don't forget your crystals. While the vendor sells the components, you still need to supply your own elemental crystals for every single craft. Stock up from the Market Board or retainers beforehand.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell school supply components on the Market Board?
No, the item is completely untradable. Every player must purchase their own components directly from Synnove using personal gil.
What level do I need to be to craft Ameliance's items?
Your crafting class must be at least Level 83 to access and execute the recipes that consume these components.
How many components do I need per week?
The exact number depends on how many custom delivery allowances you use on Ameliance. Each turn-in item requires one component, and you have a total weekly limit of 12 custom delivery client turn-ins across all NPCs.
What happens if I fail the craft?
If your synthesis fails or drops below the minimum collectable threshold, you lose the materials involved. Always verify your gear and macros before starting high-level collectable production. You can consult guides on Gamerescape for more stat optimizations.
