Alchemy and Armorsmithing required?

[RiceisNice]

I found that I had more than enough water shards by simply doing the class quests. But I leveled purely doing HQ quest leve turn ins, not by mass production of goods or by crafting goods to sell.

Levequests always seem like the way to go, the problem is the amount you have. I'm down to 21 leves and they get eaten up like nothing for crafting leves. Though since my Weaving is already 18, I think I'm gonna work on that first and get it up to 50.

I also thought about getting my other crafts up to at least level 10. If anything, that'll give them potential to do HQ turn ins.
