I got the quest and the actions for making collectibles, but --
1) what rotation do I use? The same one as crafting anything else but with the "collector's glove" action?
2) What are all these other similar actions - when do they get added to the rotation?
I'm so confused! :confused:
Can someone explain this collectible stuff to me?

I haven't really found a "good" rotation yet, but it looks like when you're collecting you're only going to use the new abilities specifically for this. I just picked up what popped while I was doing leves. Levequests still seem to be your best way to level, I went from 51-56 in about 7 hours. You'll be looking for specific collectables to get scrips later. I wouldn't worry about it until after level 56

You can use the same rotation if you're just starting out and it will probably last you till half-way. I find both Precise Touch and Byregot's Brow inferior so I rarely bother using those and can't use them in a macro anyway since condition has to be Good or Excellent for them to be usable. I'm not sure about recipes from 56-60 but from 51-55, you don't even have to 100% the quality to get the highest collectable rating.
Honestly, right now, it would be best to level your DOW/DOM then your gathering before moving to crafting. At least this way, you can go anywhere instead of being gated by the story and mats are very expensive. Those Rainbow Cotton are expensive and you need tons of them lol. -

Oops yeah I was referring to the gathering. I found that after opening flight in cwh, tdf and tcm. I was in good shape to gather there. The nodes in soc were also easily accessible, so you could get to 58 min without much of a hassle.

Simple, use your 2.0 skills, the same one you used to craft 4 star items, you'll generally get over the 2.9k minimum, and when you get better gear, you'll get it much easier. I do use the precise touch to get inner quiet up to 11 if I have spare CP

06-25-2015, 03:20 AMAeyisIts possible to get massive exp with large amount of collectible turn ins. Altho comparing a single turn in leves are far superior, keeping the allowance max in mind, collectibles are very invaluable for leveling.Quote:

For collecting you will want to focus on using the least amount of gathering attempts possible, while obtaining the lowest requirement for the turn in. So use gp on extra attempts and boosting rarity. Once you hit the required collectibility you can collect as many times as you have gathering attemps left.
A level 51 botanist retainer can bring back 20 per hour. Its also very easy to collect with your own level 51 botanist. For higher level materials tho its indeed pretty much needed to have your own gathering classes leveled.Quote:

In order to get max bonus rewards from a collectible it seems you only need to reach just over half the bar, which makes doing this very easy for the first few levels. You can make a macro for it as well, meaning you can massproduce them if you have the mats.
Just remember to have the Collectible Gloves buff on (I still sometimes forget). Its an out of crafting buff, meaning if you use it once it will stay on untill you disable it. No need to enable it for each new craft. -
06-25-2015, 04:06 AMarc_08Haha this happens to me a lot too. Also, is there a way to turn off the window that pops up when you craft a collectable? It's annoying that we have to click yes after every synthesis.Quote:

I have the scrips system unlocked via Gathering, but I can't find where the inital quest is to get the skills needed for my crafter. Where does it start?

06-28-2015, 04:35 AMValcroFor crafting and gathering, levequests are super fast exp in comparison to DoW/M leves. It was fast when I did it 1-50, and it's fast now. 50-57 in less than one evening. It would have been to 60 in one evening, but I stopped when I got to clouds zone and couldn't fly...Quote:

The evals 320/160 are by far the best exp. You don't need to stop to farm your i75 or i90 tools. I did it with the AF tool. -

06-30-2015, 01:12 AMStormfurYou'll need to get your respective crafters to 51 before the first of the skills will unlock. You can do this by crafting the very basic 51 level stuff -- mythrite nuggets, rainbow thread, archeornis leather, etc.Quote:
