Not as productive of a night as I would hope. Mainly leveled my WHM to about Lv. 14 but mostly spent the night delving a bit more into crafting in hopes that I can expand my inventory one.

I think the biggest beef I have with synthesis at the moment is that it levels so slowly. I understand their are items and gear I can acquire later to fix this issue, but that's the rub... later. I honestly feel like getting enough levels to be recognized by a guild should be easier so you can get into the thick of it faster, but I have been crafting quite a lot throughout this playthrough and I think I only have one or two skills up to Lv. 1 at this point despite a bunch of effort to show for it. Fishing is also just painfully slow to level up as well.

The other issue I am running into is the fact most of the beginner recipes need either Earth, Wind, or Fire Crystals to use. The issue is that the enemies around me drop a lot of Fire and a modest amount of Earth crystals, but Wind has been a bit trickier to get. Not helping is that the crafts that require this crystal are more prone to failing for me, and thus burning through the supply of crystals I have is exasperating this problem. I'll keep working at it though. I need Beeswax to finish one of my quests, so I am trying to farm Bee Hive Chips, though I don't think the enemy I think that drops it actually does (the Giant Bees in the canyon area) but rather the low level Orc Mesmerizers have dropped it, so I might be heading back to the orc camp.

WHM has been okay, definitely my least favorite class so far, but I tend to go for more offensive classes in general, so support is not really my thing. But if I head into the camp, I'll likely level pretty fast and can move onto THF.
