Each of the many jobs in Final Fantasy XIV has its own story to tell that is separated from the game's Main Scenario Quests, ranging from the low levels of A Realm Reborn to the later Stormblood expansion. As the battle-oriented jobs retired their Job Quests in favor of the all-encompassing Role Quests since Shadowbringers, so did the crafting and gathering roles in the form of Crystarium Deliveries.

Crystarium Deliveries follow the Warrior of Light's efforts to assist the Crystalline Mean, a collective of five different facets specializing in specific trades and skills to provide for the people of The Crystarium. These five facets have their own quest lines, but you can only progress through each one as a specific Disciple of the Hand or Land job pertaining to the facet's trade.

The five facets of The Crystalline Mean and the level 70 jobs they require are:

The Facet of Forging - Blacksmith, Armorer or Goldsmith
The Facet of Crafting - Carpenter, Leatherworker or Weaver
The Facet of Nourishing - Alchemist or Culinarian
The Facet of Gathering - Botanist or Miner
The Facet of Fishing - Fisher

Each facet contains three quests; beginning at level 70, the halfway mark at level 75, and the conclusion at level 80. Between these three quests are the general deliveries that make up "the meat" of the Crystarium Deliveries. Turning in items rewards experience and scrips, making Crystarium Deliveries an excellent method for leveling a Disciple of the Hand or Land if you focus on only one job in each facet.
