So i think i understand crafting now and why i wasn't enjoying it previously.

First of the exp is distributed the same as it used to be, i thought i'd be different because of how difficult of a time i was having on higher leveled synths. Then i realized Rapid Synthesis has been altered, I didn't realize that now it fills up the progress bar faster but also has a much greater chance of failing and loses a lot of durability when it fails. It wasn't until i noticed the description on it was different that i starting using it differently.

Upon realizing that I started to use Makers Muse at every opportunity, staying away from making too many red synths, and for the particularly harder synths i use a combo of blinding speed and fulfillment if needed.

I'm happy to report that at level 19 Leatherworker with relativity low experience in crafting i'm having no trouble getting 450 exp a synth with 0 failures in 20 synths.

I was reading a lot of forum posts of people calmly stating they were easily getting 450 a craft and i just didn't believe them but now i see how. I like this new system though you can craft a lot of different items that are all relatively useful so long as your not crafting anything thats your level or lower.
