The grind is real

I agree that the grind isn't that bad.... but I'm guessing in those 10 days you didn't also get the DoL tools, and do Levi, and cap soldiery, and do turns 5-8?

I'm happy with the amount of "grind" involved for one craft, but I would have preferred some exclusivity... like only let you get one master book, or one master tool (from HQ tomes)... or make the second one twice the price and so on???

I capped soliery, beat mog ex and practiced levi. My coil static has member issues so I stopped at T5. But yeah, I got ur point, I agree on that too.

I think the grind was pretty simple. Each class averaged 3-4 hours to master. I had all my master tools in just over a week while keeping up with end game progression and a full time job.

I had alot of seed money to start myself off with though due to how much money I made from crafting previously.

I posted this upon 2.2's launch, but looking back, I guess it wasn't that bad after all. It felt daunting at first though. x.x

I wasn't fully melded when the new patch came, because I survived well enough with the melds I had. And as I'm a cheap little bugger, I went to get my miner achievements done which resulted with 400+ electrum ore of which I made crafting jewellery for spirit bonding.

I've almost fully melded my weaver and am currently working on crafting those 50 cloth for the new main hand tool. Going to be a long grind, but I'm hopeful I'll get the tool this week and can sink my teeth to crafting spring dresses and other vanities.
