My level in crafting is 57 and I want to get to 61 without spending a huge amount of money. I have the money to do green d hide vambs but I dont really want to make 1k plus of them right now. But whatever seems to be the best idea, I will try and go with it. Thanks in advance for your help!!

Well green d'hide vambraces are probably the best option, but just use Stealing Creation needles, 2x the xp so you only do half as money, therefore saving money. :)

Ok I might try doing that, so I guess I need to learn how to play SC lol.

It's really confusing, but only the very first time. After that you'll find it pretty easy to get enough points for a tool each game, win or lose. On average, of course. You'll occasionally have some bad games :P But I like the minigame.

how long does a sc needle last

I think its around 40-42k xp

 

 

 

Edit: 43k xp

Silver is still pretty decent exp. Just gotta take the time to mine the silver.
