»Never played 1.0 so cant say what the level gaining speed in crafting was like, but for ARR, I'm hoping not everyone and their mum will be easily able to attain max crafts.
I mean, not only will it not be a good means of gil making if everyone has 'em..but they'd also be no sense of accomplishment either.
The thing is that for the craft I did, I needed to gather Millcorn. It's from Lv15 lush vegetation in Eastern Thanalan and at lv26BTN I had a 98% chance of getting NQ and 25% chance for HQ. So while you can buy the mats in town from NPCs for lower level crafts... You WILL have to
A) Gather your own materials (for CUL that means fishing and harvesting which I was leveling anyway in 1.0 so.)
B) Buy them off the market wards from players
C) Beg your friends for mats... I suggest against this. >_>
A is the cheapest course imo. But then again, I'm talking from a CUL's point of view. The other crafts I think you'll need items from other crafts (like woodworker will need rivets and stuff from blacksmith and armourer or something and both of those will need ores from Miner.) So yeah.
did normal cornmeals to NPC. 13887 exp for 5; traded 3 times for one leve and was 41,661 exp and 3,678gil for one leve. ermahgawd.
