Race to 50

[Simaril]

The problem I have with Wvr (and Arm) is the 8 steps it takes to make one item to turn in; make 5 linen yarns, make 2 linen cloths, make 1 linen hat or tights... Diremite, and Wool are annoying if you want to make yourself gear (kind of a major reason to craft in the first place).

Meanwhile several professions have triple turn in items that take ONE step (Cul, Alc, Ltw, Crp), sure, the materilas are sometimes hard to come by, but most have another tripler that requires just a few steps... not 8+.

Flax (Hempen stuff) and Cotton (Cotton stuff) would like a word with you ... as those are gathered (though, admittedly, it might just be simpler to buy them)

Do people take flax to 50? Do they autocraft piles of yarn and cloth, or try to HQ every material?? My eyes are burning just thinking about that. Quick math puts me at least at 2430 flax.
