Question about the cross skills for crafters

[Katlyna]

I should have clarified 2.5 star or higher. None the less its nice to know there are some options to craft some 2 star things =-) Keep in mind you're both crafting with your super awesome 3 star stats though. But as you're showing possibility exists, but the requirements for up front quality and gear are stiff.

SE really should have fixed this though, cross-class skills should just be base available across the board for all classes.

They started in that direction with the moves every crafter learns from 61 through 70.

Personally, I believe that Specialists should get access to *all* the cross class moves, 15, 37, 50 just for equipping the stone... and the 54 cross class moves once the Specialist hits 61. That would have done enough to actually accomplish what they said they wanted to do with Specialists when they introduced the system (allow them to compete with omnicrafters).

Well in all reality there are a lot less cross class used now then in the past. I can get away with PbP, TotT, SHandII, Byregot's Blessing, MaMa and Innovation. I am no longer using Reclaim, Waste Not (1/2) or a lot of the other abilities. Hasty Touch still has it's uses in some rotations I am doing.

Hi again, I have an other question. All things considered, the only crafters than I want to have at 70 are culinarian and alchemist (for food and potions obviously). Do I still need to level all other ones to lvl 50 to get cross skills or can I just let them to lvl 15 ? (I still have the attention to level all gatherers to 70)

There are definitely some you can ignore. I will give you my recommendation base on minimum cross class levelling.
Armorer - lv15 Rapid Synthesis, lv50 Piece by Piece: you will want PbP as it is the most efficient way to get your progress up with the fewest steps.
You can ignore completely if you roll rng with Rapid Synthesis 2 after using Muscle Memory.
Min Recommendation: level to 50

Blacksmith - lv15 Ingenuity, lv50 Ingenuity II: For absolute top tier crafts, you will need one of these. While II is stronger, I have seen many players use I just fine.
Min Recommendation: level to 15

Carpenter - lv15 Rumination, lv50 Byregot's Blessing: Rumination is only useful until you get a Byregot's (Blessing / Brow / Miracle) skill, after that is a waste of space. Blessing, while is stronger, can be omitted as you have decent alternatives natively.
Min Recommendation: ignore

Goldsmith - lv15 Manipulation, lv37 Flawless Synthesis, lv50 Innovation, lv54 Maker's Mark: The only non useful skill here is lv15 Manipulation. I recommend levelling Goldsmith to at least 54.
Min Recommendation: level to 54

Leatherworker - lv15 Waste Not, lv50 Waste Not II: Poor LTW cross class skills are rendered obsolete by Manipulation II
Min Recommendation: ignore

Weaver - lv15 Careful Synthesis, lv50 Careful Synthesis II: like BSM, you will want 1 of these because it is a 0 CP synthesis step. Basically used for the completion step after burning all your CP on quality. You can live without it, as Careful Synthesis III exists for CP7.
Min Recommendation: level to 15
