how to level up crafting professions quickly?

At 50 you get 3 of the scripts for each job by doing a quest, and they give +150% exp up to 300k gained, 20 minute buff. The problem with them is that it's only 20 minutes, and you need to crank out about 50 recipes in that time at that range to get the full benefit. I've been using them with quick synthesis on lumber and nugget and such.

edit - also for the daily GC turn-ins, they give about the same exp as a leve, HQ gives double, a star next to it means double, and HQ on a star gives quadruple

Quick synthesis also lowers your experience gain from making the items to something like 10%. Isn't that kind of a waste, or is the exp bonus from the manuals the same either way, with just the base EXP from the craft being lowered?

It used to be half of base exp for quick synth, now it's just base exp. The +150% is of the base synth exp, so if you 100% HQ a synth you get the same bonus from the manual you would get from a quick synth. Base exp on low 50's synths is around 4-5k, so you need about 40-50 of them to hit 300k bonus.

Plus I need massive piles of the stuff, I don't want to spend 50 hours crafting supplies for the real synths.

No kiddin'? I wasn't aware they changed the quick synth exp to base synth. This is excellent news. Thanks for the information!
