I have a finished craft shield. Now is it possible to switch crafting guilds without penalty?
I wanna unlock the ki and gear from other crafts now but dont dare switch guilds incase i "loose" my shield.

You cannot possibly lose the shield without throwing it away and zoning.

I haven't personally verified going above 70 in subcrafts with a shield, but I am nearly 100% certain you will be allowed to do whatever you want (except make a new shield) without any issues.

There's no risk, try whatever you want. They can't take your shield, you have to give it up manually through a very explicit and thorough process

cool thanks for the answer. And what i also read is that points cant go down when you used em. So i got 110 cooking and all the rest is capped at 70. Fishing 110 and syn 80.
Can i unlock the next rank to get artisan so i can get the guild body to without it lowering the other crafts?

Important Note: However, please be aware that beyond Craftsman (Level 70), players are limited to an additional 40 skill levels to distribute among their chosen crafts. These final 40 skill levels can be distributed across all crafts or focused on a single craft. For example, one Lv110 craft, or two Lv90 crafts, or four Lv80 crafts, etc. In other words, this means all crafts can be taken to Lv70, but only one may be mastered to Lv110, the highest level.

I'll also note, that you have an option when you take another skill past 70 to instantly de-level any other skill over 70 down to 70.
