I'm wondering what most people level to 60 right after Woodworking 100.

How does it benefit WW?

What do you craft?

Thank you.

If you're still in the process of leveling it, you should consider combining it with alchemy during your woodworking skillups. There's lots of synths on your way that use alchemy - and some that use smithing. Using these makes the way to 100 a lot easier.

Meifu Goma is a good example:

Just like Mega Pumps:

Benefit? Breaking HQ tiers obviously. Also, you will definitely want those two (and goldsmithing) to make GP items. Leveling multiple crafts with one synth saves freakloads of money, and woodworking seems to be really good for that.

Level some of your sub crafts before you even hit WW100. I'm only WW84 but I'm getting a lot of my sub crafts done before WW100. There are multiple crafts for guild points or even skilling up that requires a sub craft. If you want a smoother journey to 100, I'd sub craft Bonecraft and Smithing and Alchemy. I say smithing mostly for guild points though. =d

I'd highly suggest bc to ~55 or so before you get ww to ~85-88. You can actually make a profit on Kabura Arrows which cap at ~91 if I remember right. In addition to BC, you'll need cloth/goldsmithing/leather/alchemy/smithing for many synths. You basically 'need' Smithing to get your ww to 100 on the Iron-Splitters.

And thanks btw, Lutia, for stretching the page out... Scaling, {You can have this.}

Smithing is nice to make crossbos such as zamburak or arbalest
Gold and Cloth is nice to make beds and furniture.
bonecraft is nice to make arrowheads to combine with your lumber for ammo

they all have their pluses. Pretty much everything has been said above. always try to do recipes that involve multiple crafts so you can maximize your skillups.
