I enjoy the questing and crafting aspects of the game .Currently i am level 12 character through various quests and alot of grinding low level mobs to get my leatherworking skills up. So far skinning is at 13 and leatherworking is at 7 (not a great balance there).

I have completed boondocks and am nowhere near the level 10 in leatherworking that is required to craft the azraq helm.  I predict that my character would in fact level out of the boondocks set before i can even spend the necessary time required to complete my leatherworking to level 10 unless I spent every second devoted to improving the skill .

Here is where I feel some improvements need to be made.

Level 1    leatherworking gives +39 xp using 5   x tattered leather and 1 x smelly glue.

Level 5    leatherworking gives +43 xp using 8   x tattered leather and 2 x smelly glue.

Level 7    leatherworking gives +84 xp using 10 x tattered leather and  2 x smelly glue.

 

To improve my skill I am better off crafting the level 1 gear than the level 7 gear as i get +78 xp for crafting 2 x lvl 1 gear and only + 48 xp for 1 x lvl 7 gear. Equates to an extra +30 xp at the lower level for using the same amount of tattered leather and less glue. This does not make any sense to me at all.

Improvements in level should mean better rewards and I am not talking about the gear crafted as I doubt whether many players will be in need of crafted gear except of course the "set helms".

 

Dont have any time to test any further levels before wipe and release so hopefully HCS wilol read this post and decide if anything can be done .

 

Roll on release Looking forward to it.

simlure issue as well with lvling AS / WS

Not sure same for tailoring as well or not, But many skill' exp per lvl don't = better reward's

Some twick's are need as for lvling skill = better exp not less - cost more

chicken's

Pig - 38 - 40 exp

next up black bat;s lvl 3 not sure exp about same

shigras lvl 7 very small exp bump

It's the same with tailoring.  I brought this up before in this thread:

Looks like they're going to do some more tweaking, so I guess we'll have to wait til launch to see if anything works out better.

 

Wondering how many rares did you get from skinning?  I'm trying to compare the other skills to that of farming...as I think farming needs a serious tweak to rare chances.

Before open beta, farmers got about 2-3 rares for 200 or so crops, if I recall correctly. There were ways to increase that rate, but I did not use them more than once.

Completely agree. Also, for armor making there are two lvl 2 things you can make. Copper boots or copper helm.

Copper boots need 5 copper bars, copper helm needs 8 copper bars. They give the same amount of experience meaning it is stupid to make helms for xp.

Since they are the same level, I think that the xp they give should be proportionate to how many bars they use.

Level 13 skinning - if I can recall I ended up with just over 20 ragged pelts - I have no idea of how many creatures skinned that equates to though.

And at 14 farming I had 4 ethereal jutes.  Terrible rate for farming comparatively.
