Crafters rejoice!

2000 does sound/seem pretty high. Although in a twisted sense, it's almost like an XP chain of sorts.

The most I saw finishing up a leve was 830ish making a Steel Falchion with about 110ish quality.

I imagine with the +50% rested bonus coupled with a manual with the higher quality modifier could really boost exp (if they're all allowed to stack that is).

Perhaps the exp gain is a little bit high.

But, at least we'll level up our crafts - you know, crafting and not doing primal or caravan runs.

Manuals are 400 seals and are sweeeeeet

Honestly, I feel if anything should be easy to level, it should be crafting. The grind associated with crafting often makes it borderline useless, as it floods the markets with goods, and it's not like it really impacts the difficulty of battle much.

Just managed to get 600% exp bonus on crafting from increasing quality by about 750 (50% chance to HQ and it didn't. orz)

(sorry for it being in Japanese =P)



Man, this is awesome.

While crafting EXP has increased drastically with the quality bonus, there is also a new problem of increased failures that I am having. If all I do is standard synth, I will fail 90% of the time because I am getting a variable 8-25% progress completion, and 10-18 durability loss EVERY time. With Careful synth, I only get 7-10 durability loss, but also only 3-5% progress completion. It doesn't take much math to figure +8% and -15 durability will leave you without enough durability to even attempt a synth after a few attempts. And I am having this issue on my lv28-30 crafts using lv28 velveteen gear and most recent upgrades to tools. For crafting levequests, this is the worst option, as it makes it more likely that you will fail to complete the leve, and most leves are giving items that are not as useful at the current level of the crafter. (example: lv30 weaver leves give diremite webs, used for a lv23 recipe only, instead of flax, which is used for a lv33 recipe).

Use rapid synthesis. Success on a rapid synth incurs no durability loss at all.

[Namynyor]

Rapid incurs no durability loss IF successful, if it fails, you lose 20-40 durability.

ok... i asume your lvl 28/30 so doing lvl 30 leves... if your strugling with completion why dont you try doing the lvl 20 ones and lvl 10 ones and careful the shit out of them to get massive exp boosts.. lower recipe means easier to complete also better chance of not failing.

this is what i would do.. also personally ide just grind on a recipe that was cheap and easy to complete doing careful without doing leves pre 35/40 anyway the bonus from leves pre 40 is quite shit especialy since u can now get such huge quality bonus.

sadly i alrady have my crafts at 50 so this isnt as enjoyable for me ;p.. though it makes sb gear while crafting much easier .. and frankly i am all for this exp boost since once they raise the cap it will be most welcome when its 100k+-200K+ a lvl... 1-3k a synth that 100 or there abouts synths per lvl thats not to bad can normaly do 30-50 crafts a hour ish so a couple hours per lvl at a guestimate

Read my post up above. Also, more craftmanship/mag. craftmanship may help if you're lacking in those areas.
