    is this logic?

    so... there's nothing wrong here, i just don't think i understand of some of this.

    1.) Mythrite Ore is lv53. it is "Hidden" and will randomly show up in one of the available slots at random nodes. now, lets look at Mythrite Sand... it is lv51 and isn't "Hidden". but for some reason Mythrite Ore yields less EXP then the Mythrite Sand. logic?

    2.) why do we need to level gatherer to level 56 and gather level 56 items for a level 54 recipe?

    3.) when we look at Weaver we can see in the list things like Rainbow Cloth come in the list before something like Rainbow Thread. i don't think that makes sense, but it may have just been done that way on accident.



    at any rate, i am not here to complain about anything. i just wonder if i am the only one to think these things make zero sense. logic?

    Yep, they have never been consistent. Remember Electrum Ingot?
    Electrum Ingot: iLVL40
    Made from Electrum Ore: iLVL43

    Used in Weaver recipes:
    Linen Gaiters, Linen Half Apron, Linen Wedge Cap of Crafting): iLVL37
    Linen Coatee of Crafting, Linen Coatee of Gathering, Linen Wedge Cap of Gathering: iLVL38

    The annoyance here, was need an i43 item to make an i37 item.

    I think it is fine to have gathering items in the general ballpark of the crafting recipes rather than line up perfectly. You can level those jobs independently, so there is no real barrier here. I think they tried to have a fairly even distribution of gathering materials per level, which is a really good thing.

    The exp inconsistency seems a bit odd though :o

    It makes no logicle sense but also remember, you can craft and gather items a few levels higher than your self. (Iirc it's up to 5lvls higher)

    As for the recipies, I assume it was made that way to "promote" (read strong arm)players to cross level gathering and crafting.

    it's possible but the heavensward recipes impose a huge penalty for trying to do that compared to arr recipes

    theres verry little gap between lvl 50 and lvl 60 as well.

    I've caught level 50 fish at level 40 but at lvl 52 I have trouble pulling a lvl 54 fish out of the water. The added difficulty it to comoensate that the cap was only raised 10 levels.
