Okay, i'm stuck. I keep seeing crafters at level 50, and people talking about how easy it is to do, yet i'm stuck. I'm only around 26 with weaver, and lower with others, but now with bots and other farmers over farming the spawns for the stuff, i just can't seem to get the mats. If gold farming (not the bad kind, but with a DoM/W a legit way at 50) was decent, i could take my 50 and just buy the stuff on the market, but that's not practical as far as i've seen. Can't gather weaving mats with mining/fish/botany, so that's a road block.

I've heard to make HQ stuff for leves, but either i'm missing something or my luck is terrible, but i've been failing at 90% a LOT lately. (please tell me this doesn't have the "face this way during this type of weather" system)

tl;dr
I'm just stumped and looking for any advice people have. I've been getting the skill book from the GC, and try to make one of each item, and that seems to help, but not much when i have a hard time getting mats. :\
