Approved Grade 3 Artisanal Skybuilders' Alumen
|
Though alumen is commonly used in the tanning of animal hide, the artisanal can supposedly be used to tan other materials, such as hair or soil. Such claims have yet to be verified, however.
Used in expert crafting recipes.
|
|
Approved Grade 3 Artisanal Skybuilders' Amber
|
The grade is determined by the number of vilekin encased within each piece. Fewer is generally considered to be better, unless the buyer happens to be a naturalist, in which case, the opposite is true. They have been known to pay absurd amounts for the most heavily infested specimens.
Used in expert crafting recipes.
|
|
Approved Grade 3 Artisanal Skybuilders' Archaeopteryx
|
This remarkable creature serves as living proof of the relationship between common birds and the massive prehistoric scalekin that ruled both land and sky.
※Not included in the fish guide.
|
|
Approved Grade 3 Artisanal Skybuilders' Basilisk Egg
|
Most recipients of such eggs would prefer them without a tiny, carnivorous scalekin inside.
Used in expert crafting recipes.
|
|
Approved Grade 3 Artisanal Skybuilders' Blind Manta
|
One might wonder how these eyeless creatures are able to navigate the clouds of the Diadem. While some naturalists posit that heightened tactile senses allow them to feel the winds and avoid collisions with floating rocks and other obstacles, others point out that the scratches observed in some of their bodies suggest that some are more successful at this than others.

|
|
Approved Grade 3 Artisanal Skybuilders' Clay
|
Many apprentice potters have been known to misinterpret the meaning of “throwing a pot,” leading to hilarious capers, instant dismissal, or both.
Used in expert crafting recipes.
|
|
Approved Grade 3 Artisanal Skybuilders' Cloudshark
|
It is unclear how this massive, fearsome predator evolved to swim among the clouds rather than the waters preferred by its fellow wavekin, but one thing is certain─less physically imposing denizens of the Diadem doubtless wish it had not.
※Not included in the fish guide.
|
|
Approved Grade 3 Artisanal Skybuilders' Cloudstone
|
One of the few stones light enough to float in water.
Used in expert crafting recipes.
|
|
Approved Grade 3 Artisanal Skybuilders' Cotton Boll
|
These bolls contain roughly twice the amount of cotton as the regular sort, but due to the thickness of the plant's stems, take roughly twice as much effort to harvest.
Used in expert crafting recipes.
|
|
Approved Grade 3 Artisanal Skybuilders' Granite
|
Granite is said to be phaneritic, or in layman's terms, macroscopically crystalline.
Used in expert crafting recipes.
|
|
Approved Grade 3 Artisanal Skybuilders' Helicoprion
|
These terrifying creatures are noted for their whorls of innumerous razor-sharp teeth, which allow them to shred their prey with remarkable efficiency. It is recommended to ensure the creature is duly dead before admiring these teeth whorls for yourself, lest you share a similarly grisly fate.
※Not included in the fish guide.
|
|
Approved Grade 3 Artisanal Skybuilders' Log
|
Grade 3 and artisanal it may be, yet the name of the tree from which it came is an enigma enveloped in a mystery. Before the skybuilders and their bizarre naming conventions, it was simply...log.
Used in expert crafting recipes.
|
|
Approved Grade 3 Artisanal Skybuilders' Mosasaur
|
Despite being powerful swimmers, these massive and aggressive aquatic scalekin prefer to lie in wait, pouncing on their prey from places unseen and devouring them whole.
※Not included in the fish guide.
|
|
Approved Grade 3 Artisanal Skybuilders' Oscar
|
This strikingly colored wavekin with flowing fins is both beautiful to behold as it is appealing to the appetite─posing quite the dilemma for any angler who is skilled and fortunate enough to reel one in.
※Not included in the fish guide.
|
|
Approved Grade 3 Artisanal Skybuilders' Rice
|
Rice remains something of a novelty in Ishgard, though the skybuilders seem to be experts on the subject regardless. Apparently, they can tell the difference between the truly artisanal and the merely humdrum.
Used in expert crafting recipes.
|
|
Approved Grade 3 Artisanal Skybuilders' Storm Chaser
|
What is it that compels the storm chaser to forsake calm and welcoming skies for the danger of raging tempests and crackling thunderbolts? Perhaps it is the same as what stirs adventurers to set forth in search of trials and tribulations to overcome.
※Not included in the fish guide.
|
|
Approved Grade 3 Artisanal Skybuilders' Vine
|
The artisanal vines that are chosen for the Firmament tend to stand out from the common-or-garden varieties. One could say they are vine for attention.
Used in expert crafting recipes.
|
|
Approved Grade 3 Artisanal Skybuilders' Wyvern
|
Is this an actual wyvern, or simply a sizable wavekin that bears a remarkable resemblance to its namesake? It is not immediately clear─and neither is why the creature is so vital for the restoration effort. It is artisanal, though, which doubtless counts for something.
※Not included in the fish guide.
|
|
Approved Grade 3 Skybuilders' Adder
|
As one can imagine, there is a host of practical applications for a venomous snake in the Ishgardian reconstruction efforts. These include the production of snake wine, in which the scalekin is preserved in alcohol that gains a unique flavor and medicinal properties. In several cases, the snake has been known to spring to life after moons of being entirely submerged in the liquid.
Used in level 80 crafting recipes.
|
|
Approved Grade 3 Skybuilders' Alligator Snapping Turtle
|
To count the number of fishermen who have lost fingers and toes to this savage beast one would need─well, more digits than any of those unfortunate individuals have remaining, to say the least.
