Guardiancraft Introduction
Guardiancraft is the vocation used to make armors and weapons for Shamans and Dragoons. Your second choice of vocation should be Mining, since you will need it to gather materials for crafting. Guardiancraft can be learned from Bolo - Craftsman in Pokari City near the East Gate for 50 bronze. You are able to forget/delete vocations if you wish, as well as view your current exp and recipes for the vocation, by accessing the craft menu in game. To do so, press the O key, while in game of course.

To gain exp for leveling the vocation, you can craft a bunch of items or do the Guardiancraft quests from Bolo.
Crafting
First, to be able to craft you have to learn the Recipe. Some of them can be purchased at Bolo, but others can be found killing monsters or in instances. To learn the recipe, have it in your inventory and right click on it. It then goes into your crafting menu which is accessible by pressing the O key in game. Here it lists possible recipes. The ones you do not have are grayed out. You'll see that you'll need materials to be able to make the item. For Guardiancraft you'll usually need a Hammer. You can purchase them at Jimm - Tool Merchant, who is right next to Bolo in Pokari City. You might also need some materials which can be gathered from the vocation Mining, or bought from someone else. You might also need things like Armor shards or Material Ether. These are found inside instances and have different levels. For example, level 4 Shards are found in the instance River Temple 1. You can find Material Ether by killing the monsters inside the instances.
Hammers
Hammers are one of the items you may need to be able to craft things for Guardiancraft. These can be bought at Jimm - Tool Merchant.
Novice Hammer - Costs 50 Bronze.
Apprentice Hammer - Costs 9 Silver 37 Bronze.
Gatherer Hammer - Costs 12 Silver 82 Bronze.
Worker Hammer - Costs 14 Silver 67 Bronze.
Expert Hammer - Costs 19 Silver 43 Bronze.
Master Hammer - Costs 24 Silver.

Bolo's Recipes
As mentioned before, Bolo - Craftsman sells some of the recipes for Guardiancraft. Others can be found from monsters, in instances, other players, and other NPCs.

Why should I pick Guardiancraft?
You might think something along the lines of "I'd rather make hp potions or pet food or something.. I can buy armor.", Which is true and all but you'll need your Guardiancraft a certain level to be able to craft your level 100 diplomatic set. You'd also need it to be able to craft other things for either class Shaman or Dragoon, such as their level 25 area of effect (aoe) skill. Also, making things to try to sell or give to your friends doesn't sound too bad either right?
Title
The title for this vocation will give you +5 of an Affinity of your choice, just like Scoutcraft and Arcanecraft. Though you'll have to have the title in use in order to gain the effect. (Which is why you'll see many people using them.) Your Guardian craft must be at level 4 to get the title. The title looks like <Expert - Guardiancraft - Erda>, for example. Except you can choose the affinity you want. Also, the title is orange and you'll probably see many people with it running around.
Forgetting a Vocation
A vocation may be forgotten whenever you want if you decide you would like a different one. However, this deletes the exp you previously gain so I don't suggest it. Unless.. You reaaally want to.
This is what the craft menu looks like. When the skill you want to forget is highlighted like in the picture, the Forget button in the top left corner becomes clickable. This is how you forget the vocation.
