Crafting XP nerfed substantially?
So as we all know, each craft usually gives us around 7 levels.
It is now 4 levels per craft. Bugged or just crazily nerfed?
Need clarification!
Side effect of messing with the leveling curve – earlier levels probably give you more than 7 levels. I’ll look into it tonight after I get off work but I’d wager if I opened a crafting window and got to work I might make it to level 7 off the crafting.
Most likely bugged. See: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/EXP-Drastically-reduced-when-I-hit-level-29/first#post4404061
I posted in the Crafting section about this, but yes, there is something going on with the crafting XP.
I am not good at being a Ranger, but I want to learn, so I made a new one to try out the new patch. When I found out the pet controls were not unlocked at the beginning, I used a birthday scroll to get to 20. While I was clicking on all the new clickable things you get when you level, I was aghast about how late every thing was unlocking, so that put me off the new patch from the get go.
Once 20, I decided to craft the new backpacks using that character. Figured I would kill two birds with the same stone. I would get the backpack skins, and level up my new Ranger via crafting.
Darnnnn…I did Leathercrafting to 400 and got only three levels. I did get my Bear Back pack but I cussed like a sailor at the patch.
Colin said to be patient, and let them fix things, so I will practice that virtue…but, it would be a lot easier to be patient if I knew if the crafted XP loss was intentional or a bug.
Anet, what say you. Crafting XP decrease intentional or a whopper of a bug????
Lisa-Fingers, toes, and eyeballs crossed in hope that this is fixable.
Edit-Tobias, please tell us your findings, I would like to know.
