6 - Always use food of some kind; even if it's low quality basic stuff. The 3% boost is worth it.

7 - Ask your GC to put up some sort of company booster.

8 - Use the crafting tables in an FC. Side note: even if you have just one crafting table.... say it's for Blacksmith but you want to craft as a weaver. Set character to blacksmith, click on table for buff, switch to weaver, buff still active


9 - Learn rotations and learn them early. Anything below 50 generally do quality over progression first. Most items in the 2-4* its a good idea to get 75-85% progression done before doing the quality. This is all relative though to your stats and the item but it's a general good rule of thumb.
