Do I still need to level every craft to efficiently make good items?
Like is there still cross-class skills I need to get now?
You can ignore culinarian.

But cul is super easy to level because it has easily spammable stuff every step of the way.


Yet it's not enough for me to get back what I had.
If you were melded to even the comfy melding recommendations, rotations now can do everything the old rotations can do.

If you were melded perfectly, your results now are a step above where they were before the patch.

Basically, if you could craft 5.05 items before, you can craft 5.1 items now, likely with fewer hq mats.
