How to level DOH

Also, if you aren't in a hurry, make sure you do the GC supply missions every day possible. its like having a single free leve for every profession, multiple if its a starred item.

I have been doing all of them for about 2 weeks, and I have 1-15 almost every profession I don't use regularly, just from buying the items from a town npc. its not too expensive, and you get sweet, sweet GC seals in return, which can be worth as much or more than the money you put in.

This man speaks the truth. And sometimes, if you're lucky and it's a common item, you can find it HQ on the MB for cheap.

Another thing I can't overstate the usefulness of is the Ehcatl Nine dailies. They provide quests that give EXP for DoH classes, and include crafting. If you have a 50 DoH and want to level another, you can do the quest as your 50 and turn it in with the class you want EXP for. The EXP scales to the level of the class you turn it in with, so it's extremely useful. Also helps you work towards those sweet, sweet Oaknots.

Oaknots are a godsend. While I can't vouch for how nice the Ixali quests are for leveling a DoH (mine were all already 50 when the quests were added), being able to purchase two-star (and three-star!) recipe ingredients using Oaknots saves a lot of money and GC points. Of course, that's all in the far future if you're still in the process of leveling, but it never hurts to plan ahead!

162 Oaknots is enough to purchase all of the two-star ingredients you need to craft the items you need to obtain the Master Recipe book for all eight DoH classes (presuming that you succeed in HQing every time). You get six Oaknots per day if you spend all of your Beast Tribe allowances on the Ixai quests that give Oaknots, which boils down to 27 days.

I been trying to figure out what the star means. I usually turn in all HQ items, but I don't notice any difference in exp between the star and non-star turn ins. Unless there is and I just don't notice it...? Can anyone clarify this?

Your rewards are doubled. Literally given twice in the complete? window.

Since I wrote that other post about leveling all your DoH together, I'm now lvl 50 GSM, CRP and WVR, with the others @ 40.

I can say I only had a slight problem with lightning and wind shards (had to gather like 200~300 of each), but that may be because I'm yet to lvl the others to 50. Maybe that's because I'm leveling through leves...

so, since I posted last time, I have continued leveling. now that I have beast tribe dailies unlocked, I can agree that they are a godsend. Also, courier leves are almost always worth the extra effort. its a difference between needing 20 leves per 5 levels and needing like 9 leves per 5 levels.

I have been having luck with using courier leves from 15-45, then moving on to the next one and using a week of beast tribe dailies to get 5 levels in 7 days from 45-50.

When I was leveling my crafts I basically just spammed the same leve over and over again. There's usually a particular leve that grants a lot more Xp than the others, and was generally cheaper to craft. Turn in an HQ item and get crazy Xp.
It's probably the most cost efficient way to go since you have limited leve allowances. Also, definitely level up your MIN and BOT, in the long run it will save you millions
