Power Leveling Guides

[Rextab]

Does anyone have any links to good power leveling guides for the crafting professions?
I am most interested in Armorer, Blacksmith, and Goldsmith to be able to make more or less everything my Paladin may need.
I would like to have them all high level at some point.
Preferably I would like a guide that shows how to work up it's supporting job as well.
One of the guides I used to really like (for another popular MMO) was how to raise your cooking level alongside your fishing. Something along those lines.
Maybe there is a post somewhere that links to power level guides for all crafting professions?
Thanks.

Best you can do is levequest, make an hq ítem and deliver it.

I used this guides, always choosing the quest who gives more exp in the range of level.

The best level is the one wich makes you craft 1 ítem and go to other campament for deliver it.

Take in mind, deliver an HQ ítem will increase the exp of the levequest 100%. Try to deliver the ítem in HQ always, maybe is cheap on market board

Here you have the guides for BSM, GSM and ARM. If you write in google for exemple: "Alchemist leves" or other craft name followed by " leves" the 1rst link will send you to the same site of this guides.

Armorer:

Goldsmith:

You can also buy 1 scroll in your grand company for increase the amount of exp earned by each craft.

Levequest + scroll is the best option, both together.

If you want to be a good crafter, you need to lvl to 50 others crafts, because you can do cross-skill, carpenter level 50 skill is one of the best crafting skills ( is a must for high level crafts ), cooking level 37 skill steady hand 2 is necessary too, same with hasty touch level 15 cooking ( combo is steady hand 2 + hasty tocuh, for free hq touchs ). Weaver level 50 skill is very helpfull too, same with alchemist level 50 skill and blacksmith.

Hope this help you :3

To be self-sufficient you need to level all crafts to 50, then meld class sets and go for masters. Since you need stuff for other classes to make items. To make all your own crafting gear you will need blacksmith, leatherworker, weaver, goldsmith. Getting them all to level 15 for cross-class skills, then culinary to 37 for steady hands 2 will make crafting HQ much easier.

Also you would want to level miner and botany to about 30 before you start on crafting, so you can go out and gather all your materials as needed. Fishing can be ignored for the most part(until level 50 its pretty useless), just level it with stuff bought of the market board for GC supply missions.

Always use food and use xp manuals from your GC, while doing leves in bulk.

For gathering, Doesn't really matter, which leves you pick(dont really have much a choice since what appears is random) to grind on, just make sure there are in your current level range, move to the next spot every 5 levels, once you out level them the bonus xp from them is harder to get, eventually becoming impossible.

For crafting there are 3 main types.
delivery ones which jgg1988 mentioned, while they pay the most xp per item, they are the worst to grind, since you have a lot of travel time(downtime)or cost a lot of money teleporting.
Triple turn ins - these can be done 3 times for a single leve. So highest xp per leve, but you are generally making 9 items per leve
Single turn ins

I am quoting myself from another post just to illustrate gain by leves

Just so you know, triple leves are the best in "xp gain per leve allowance" cost but are most costly in "materials cost for xp gain" and also in crafting time.

I found it way more cheaper and faster to do single leves most of the time. Alchemist is the best craft to do the triples.

just as an example lv 40 quest average in town :

- 1 quest single turn in xp gain = 41K (HQ 82K)
- 1 Quest triple turn in xp gain = 3*23K (HQ 138K)
- 1 Quest single turn in with travel to coerthas xp gain = 64K(HQ 128K)

Assuming you only return HQ. If you look for the same quantity of work

- 9 Objects for 9 leves : you gain 369K xp and about 5000gil
- 9 Objects for 1 leve : you gain 138K xp and about 1600gil
- 9 Objects for 9 leves : you gain 1152K xp and about 7200gil (but with travel you probably spent around 2000gil)

and a nice site http://craftingasaservice.com/

you can see leves, materials needed, and other things
