the most basic advices for a new player :)

[darthkyron]

I have one last question, i'm level 8 miner ATM. i want to level up armorer, i see recipes on the internet but i'm wondering this.
To make a lets say
lv1 bronze rings i need 1 Earth Shard + Bronze Ingot am i correct?
But the bronze ingot costs me 1500(npc) so this means that i need a lot of money to level up armorer?
Or is there a more cheaper way to do this?
Please advice me

also, instead of spamming standard while levelling up your armorer, try to mix in some careful synthesis as well. this will increase quality and thereby exp per synth
