In Vana'diel, there are many crafters' unions, called Guilds, where the crafters create new items every day to support players. You can join any or all guilds at any time by talking to the guildmaster. By joining a Guild, the crafters will give you some hints for composing items, and help you succeed at composing difficult ones. Here, you can train your composing skill to level up, sell composed items, and buy ingredients you may need to compose items. Here are the different guilds found in the game:
