level up crafting with leves only?

[REDace0]

thats too bad that the recipes I am being rewarded for doing crafting leves are outdated and being phased out.
I was thinking I would look good in a black straw hat. kinda sad I cant make one.
If I keep doing the crafting leves will I eventually be rewarded one of the new recipe I can use?

You can make a Black Straw Hat. You'll just have to buy the materials from the wards. The All-Purpose Black Dye will probably be the most expensive item.

You also don't need to earn a recipe first to make it. That will be the case in 2.0, but you'll acquire recipes by more means than just leves. You just have to select a square in the grid and then select an item from your inventory to add it.
