So the easiest way to level...

Here is a website that will speed up your leveling.

Corka commented that he/she felt only LTW/ALC/CUL were really essential cross skills to learn. I'm terribly with skill names but hopefully you all know wtf i'm talking about lol.

You use Inner Fire(??) to boost your control each time you use a quality boost skill...then based on how many times your successful when you use this other skill from Armorer which is like a greenish/blue color with a silloette of a person on it it adds CP back.

Do other people not really use that one. I find myself relying on that especially on base combines when you only have a duribility of 40. Inner Fire, Steady Hand, Boost Qual, Boost Qual, Boost Qual (i'm at 10 dura now), Rejuvinate my CP, Mend, Boost Qual, Boost Qual, Complete(out of CP by now).

When I was doing my ARM class I could pretty much guarantee HQ every time (lvl 31 currently), Doing Weaver i'm not as lucky as I generally only get to 70% without using HQ base mats.

It's Inner Quiet you're talking about. Yes it is useful as it increases your control way more than it originally is. I've had times where I have my control more than double the base just cause I took the item from 0 to maximum quality. What you're talking about to restore CP is Rumination from Carpenter. It removes inner quiet stack and restores CP.
Personally I don't really like Mend and feel like its CP costs doesn't justify the gain in durability. I'd prefer to use Waste Not which gives 2 attempts at 56 CP or Manipulation which gives 10 dura back for each of 3 steps but can't be used at the last step that would break the item and you use a synth or touch after as the dura is restored after that step and item would break before it restores. Tricks of the Trade is nice to use right after Inner Quiet and a good condition shows up or when you can afford to spend the good condition instead of doing a touch action.

I'm going to level those crafting classes to get those skills. Give them a try and see what works best. Thanks for educating me and it wasn't even my thread

Yep this helped me alot as well, I'm sitting at level 30 now, I'd like to keep leveling but I think I should go back and level some other crafts up for the cross skills. Because as of right now I have a hell of a time HQ 'n a item with only my gsm skills. And I need slot more crystals!! Picked up a miner but that is some boring leveling!

For level 30-40, you can always make dye. Each synth nets around 3-5k exp. Black dye usually sells very fast and you'll turn a small profit even if you buy everything from the market.

Actually didn't realize I could make dyes much less black dye as a gold smith lol

You can make dye for the level 30-40 range on all the crafts, even CUL, lol. I guess they are making food dye for your edible armors.

Hahaha well thanks for the info!

Hmm I looked last night and couldn't find any dye recipes through my 1-35 log.
