New ARM trying to rank up before 1.19

[Holyomen]

While I still have a choice, what stats and elements do I need for ARM?
And are there other DoH abilities that I should grab that will be beneficial and not take too long to obtain?

[Fixy]

good luck leveling armorer, its horrible. i crafted for 3 hrs lastnight and got 2 levels, crafting an item 4 ranks higher, and mat prices are ridiculous.

Why would you only craft something 4 ranks higher than your level? I regularly craft 8-10 ranks higher.

[Medura]

Iron nuggets, iron nuggets, iron nuggets, all the way to 50

Because you cant without the training? ha derp? and 460sp per craft is not bad, just expensive.

Not bad I guess, but that's why it takes you hours to rank up. Get the training and rock out 8 ranks above ya at a lot higher SP.

Actually, come to think of it, you don't need the training to do this. I don't have any armorer training at all, and I regularly succeed on crafts 8-10 ranks higher than my char's level. Maybe 4/5 success rate.

Or buy yourself some company manuals; that's a great way to speed up a bit.

You're doing something wrong. ARM is probably the easiest and cheapest craft to level.

i leveled weaver to 32 making items 8 ranks above me, no leve has given me guild marks yet. but back on topic, make sure you have fullfillment(10 lw) preserve(10 alch) makers muse(10 bs) as these will all help you level.

yeah let me tell you. weaver goes to 40 with nothing but cotton bolls. easiest to level br0.

Can even go to 45 with cotton bolls! 45-50 is a bit more expensive but still manageable. One downside is how much inventory space the final products take. Where as ARM is all stackable, its great.

Also, ARM goes from 20 to 50 on iron squares (nuggets) and buffalo straps. If you think iron squares and buffalo straps are expensive . . . I honestly dont know what to tell you.
