I think the grind was pretty simple. Each class averaged 3-4 hours to master. I had all my master tools in just over a week while keeping up with end game progression and a full time job.
I had alot of seed money to start myself off with though due to how much money I made from crafting previously.
I posted this upon 2.2's launch, but looking back, I guess it wasn't that bad after all. It felt daunting at first though. x.x
I wasn't fully melded when the new patch came, because I survived well enough with the melds I had. And as I'm a cheap little bugger, I went to get my miner achievements done which resulted with 400+ electrum ore of which I made crafting jewellery for spirit bonding.
I've almost fully melded my weaver and am currently working on crafting those 50 cloth for the new main hand tool. Going to be a long grind, but I'm hopeful I'll get the tool this week and can sink my teeth to crafting spring dresses and other vanities. :D
