Crafting gear falls under the 70/80 durability heading. You should be making your own while leveling crafting classes.

However, in terms of the grind, there are two things here : they are usually the Leve hand ins, and you get bonus exp for the first time you craft something.

If you're doing Leves, you want to craft your own (HQ) hand ins. You get more exp that way. If you're grinding, you'll want to make items in the crafting log, as well as making the 40 durability stackables en masse, to maximize your experience intake.
