Hi all,
First of all, I’m a lowbie and a newbie so I apologise if this has been highlighted before / is in the wrong forum etc.
I’ve created this topic in reference to crafting, as it’s becoming increasingly frustrating as a new player to keep up to speed with it. Let me quickly run you thought what I’ve encountered:
Main toon – Now a level 20 ele, and I’ve taken Tailoring and Artificing as my crafts. I’ve moved from the start area to the next only to find that all the gathering mats and blue drops are too high for my craft levels. To combat this, I’ve gone back to the start area to farm drops and mats, only to find the progress is still pretty slow.
I figured the problem was my laid back approach to gathering and storing items as it was my first toon.
So, I created an alt and gathered / deposited from the get go. I’ve focused mainly on discovery as this seems to be the fastest way to level 0 – 75. This hasn’t solved the problem though, as I’m approaching 15 – 16 in level and looking to move on, but my craft levels are still way off (we’re talking mid 30’s).
Am I doing something horrifically wrong here? It seems like the level to crafting ratio is seriously out of sync. The game is pushing me into higher zones naturally, but my crafting is getting ignored or unused as it’s not at the same level to move on.
Just to put this in perspective, on my main toon I pretty much bankrupt myself buying Jute scraps and stacks of blue mats on the TP, only to get maybe 1 or 2 points in the craft.
Any advice is greatly welcomed, I’m getting a bit frustrated that I can gather higher mats only to resign myself into going back a zone to re-gather for a few hours and hope to ping a point or two in the craft.
