Can someone explain this collectible stuff to me?

I have the scrips system unlocked via Gathering, but I can't find where the inital quest is to get the skills needed for my crafter. Where does it start?

I regret not levelling my gathering classes. Any tips on the fastest way to get to 50 so I can start farming these stuff?

For crafting and gathering, levequests are super fast exp in comparison to DoW/M leves. It was fast when I did it 1-50, and it's fast now. 50-57 in less than one evening. It would have been to 60 in one evening, but I stopped when I got to clouds zone and couldn't fly...

It's all about having the gathering+, HQ green gear, and at least the AF blue tool reward from finishing 1-50. Max your gathering during leveling and you should max your leve exp. The evals 320/160 are by far the best exp. You don't need to stop to farm your i75 or i90 tools. I did it with the AF tool.

Hey Valcro,

Nice! So for your push to 60, did you just spam Leves?

You'll need to get your respective crafters to 51 before the first of the skills will unlock. You can do this by crafting the very basic 51 level stuff -- mythrite nuggets, rainbow thread, archeornis leather, etc.
