How are people leveling crafting so fast??

BOT gives you WVR mats.

There are 2 levequests in quarrymill that reward 10 diremite webs for cotton turn ins which is a way better way to get them then farming/buying from the AH. For HQ, they also reward 20K xp.

Also, a great combination is the ability that gives +20% chance combined with CUL's Hasty Touch. For 22 cp you get the equivalent of 5 basic touches which would cost (5*18 = 90). Save your cp for mends.

Also, buy the jewelry that gives +cp from the jewelry vendors in town. I have about 250 cp on my wvr and between the skill that restores CP for good condition and the aforementioned hasty touch trick, I can usually get 8-10 touch actions off on even the 40 durability items.

Good thread I found that has a list started of Leve's that net good xp and mats.

HQing the Triple Leves.
We'll look at the level 30 GSing one. 'A Little Bird Told Me' asks for 3 Malachite Bracelets and gives 17670 XP. For each HQ bracelet you turn in, you get +66% more XP, so if you turn in all 3 as HQs, you get +200%XP. You can then turn this in up to 3 times. At level 30, with half decent gear and simple skill rotation, you can easily HQ 2/3 of the bracelets if you start from the raw materials, partially because it uses 2 Malachite, a level 13 synth you should always HQ. So if you do all 3 turn ins with an average case of 6HQ 3NQ, you get: 17670*3+17670*3+17670 XP or 17670*7 or 123690 XP as a total reward from the guildleve. That's with 1 allowance.

If you're making them from scratch it should only take 6 guildleves and 54 bracelets to take you from 30 to 35. You want to do your synths at oncebecause you'll get more XP out of the synths than if you level up between them because you're getting the massive XP rewards from turnins. Dump your inventory on your retainer and craft away! Some of them also give pretty good money, especially if you farm the materials yourself instead of getting them off the market boards.

DoH really does go fast right now. I'm bringing them all up with my DoL to use my gathered items and I find that one afternoon I can boost 6 DoH up a tier and still have time to farm my DoL up. I suspect that this may change soon in upcoming patches; removing repeat quests or lessening their reward, or reducing the HQ boost down from 200%.

In my opinion, people who really want their DoH to be maxed out should be pushing hard right now. These good times may not last much longer.

Lets be honest, you shouldn't be able to level from 37-50 in four hours.

HQ turn ins on crafting leves = ridiculous exp

http://www.bluegartr.com/threads/118...Material-Tiers

That site had a 45 leve I didn't know about for turning in HQ cobalt ingots, I think I have about 30 or so of those on my armorer. So I can turn in the 3 HQ ingots 3 times for 9x 33k exp for ~300k exp, then do that 3 times for ~900k exp for 3 leves when I get home. If that works I'll be 50 from 46 tonight.

Thanks for all the help, i must have rotten luck or skill though. i'll farm mats, aiming for HQ, put together with two or three HQ, get near 90%, and fail to make a HQ item. :\ I've worked on getting the other trade skills up to at least 15 to get the other skills, and those really do seem to help, but it's just so frustrating getting so close to the HQ turn in items, and not having it happen.

I don't they change that because there are the 1and 2 star items that need a lot of work to make

What kind of gear do you exactly need? one with a lot of perception?

Passing on the help people gave me yesterday.

I'm about the same level (Lv27 WVR) and I'm having an absolute blast. I'm leveling CRP and LTW at the same time (both Lv27 as well) and having no trouble with materials yet. I got all 3 from Lv23 to 27 in about 2 hours. Botany is decent. You won't be getting the Diremite Webs you need for our level, but you can farm Cotton. You only need 2 stacks. Then make Cotton Coifs of Gathering, HQ them, and turn them in at Quarrymill for 10 Diremite Webs for every 3 Coifs you make. I'm sitting at about 180 webs right now and will be mass crafting Velveteen at 30.

Now a tip for HQ. Make sure ALL your +Control gear is at the appropriate level. You can probably even HQ them yourself if you get the proper class abilities. Speaking of which, take the time to level up essential jobs to 15 for their skills. I personally use:

Lv15 ALC - Tricks of the Trade
Lv15 CUL - Hasty Touch
Lv15 LTW - Waste Not
Lv15 CRP - Rumination


Make use of Great Strides! My rotation goes as follows for synthing HQ:

Inner Quiet
if Good use Tricks of the Trade elseif Excellent use Standard Touch else use Great Strides
if Good (or Excellent) use Standard Touch else use Steady Hands
if Good (or Excellent) use Standard Touch else use Waste Not //variation here depending on if you use Master's Mend instead of Waste Not
if Good (or Excellent) use Standard Touch

Rinse, repeat. I can usually pull out between 70-100% quality pretty much every time using non-HQ mats. I throw in Hasty Touch, Rumination, and a TotT here and there depending on certain conditions.
