I made that; crafting classes!

Hello fellow crafters

I too am enjoying the crafting. I started 2.0 with everything around 43, except alchemy, which was 40 because I hate it. I still hate it, but have managed to get it leveled to about the same as my other crafts.

I had a lot of fun getting goldsmith to 50! My husband mined up a crap-ton of raw gemstones for me and I just sat there for hours turning them into finished gemstones, and trying to see how many I could HQ!

I'm really enjoying going through the crafting log and making one of everything I have the mats for, that extra xp for the first time craft is great!

Armorer is starting to come along nicely, I'm using it to make hq gear for my mid-level gladiator.

Weaving is my favorite so far though, goldsmith a close second. Nymeia the spinner is my patron deity because I planned all along to have weaving as my main craft. I can't wait to craft my AF, the spiffy hat will look so great on my Lala!

I also agree that treating my friends to hq jewelry is fun! Wish I could still repair everyone else's gear though That was always the most satisfying thing for me as a crafter in 1.0. Queueing up in front of a dungeon and examining everyone to offer repairs!

I am struggling a little bit with leatherworking and carpentry, since I hate sending my husband out to gather stacks and stacks of things. (He leveled gathering and cooking, I leveled the rest of the crafts)

Also, someone mentioned lightning shards ^^ Yeah, I would totally love you forever and do the happy Lala dance in your honor if you could help out with easier/faster ways to get shards. My stocks are rapidly depleting, and again, I hate taking time away from my husband's battle classes to send him gathering for me.

Oh! And I managed to make my first starred recipe a few days ago! I crafted 4 aetheryte rings! 2 for me, 2 for my husband. I was so proud of myself

I do have to agree, that the crafting system is very fun and engaging, and I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one that enjoys it rather than seeing it as a boring task ^^
