Purple Scripts are a valuable form of currency in Final Fantasy 14, but many gamers are unsure how exactly to farm them for maximum returns.
They are an essential item, required to get high-end gear and crafting materials. Still, farming purple scrips could be pretty daunting if you don't do it correctly.
The Two Types Purple Scrips in Final Fantasy 14 and How to Farm Them
Purple Crafters Scrips and Purple Gatherers Scrips are two types of game currency in Final Fantasy 14. Both of these are essential for players to maximize their crafting and gathering abilities. Here is how you can farm these:
Farming Purple Crafters' Scrips
There are several options for farming Purple Crafters Scrips in Final Fantasy 14. Among these, crafting the Level 99 collectable is the best for your chosen crafting job. These items are rewarded with the highest amount of purple scrips.
However, some are easier because of the materials used in each recipe. But when we consider the cost of gathering and scrips earned, these are the best options with their recipes:

Farming Purple Gatherers’ Scrips
Gatherers can earn Purple Scrips more easily than Crafters in Final Fantasy 14. Miners and Botanists should focus on time nodes that appear every two hours. Depending on the player's gear and gathering skills, these nodes yield almost 14-38 Purple Scrips.
With the new expansion content offering the best rewards, players can still earn some Scrips from older expansions if their gear isn't top tier. Endwalker collectibles are still worth some Scrips, whereas Shadowbringers and older ones aren't worth the time required to gather them.
How To Spend Your Purple Scrips
Crafters typically use their farmed Purple Scrips to get the Master Recipe Book. This helps them craft new items, enhance gear, and obtain essential crafting materials. However, many focus on specific high-quality items dependent on profit and personal use.
Gatherers primarily focus on purchasing gear upgrades to improve their gathering abilities. Materia is another valuable purchase, as it can enhance gathering tools. Ultimately, spending Purple Scrips depends on the player's goals and style.
