Crafting xp without costing tons?

[rilo kiley]

for those of you who need some crafting xp, and don't want to spend tons on in here's a little tip,

 

(this is not an efficient method for maxers or high level players, more for people who can't afford to get a crafting level or few)

 

I was doing small furnished floors and collecting all the money from monster drops/resources etc, and then i made tier one ranged bodies (protomatsyx hides.) each hide is 420 gp each, with inventory of coins/thread law runes (to tele away) you buy 25 for 10,500 and make 5 bodies for 499 xp, takes 7 seconds an inventory.. with 427k coins gathered in first floor i got 25.5k crafting xp, each thread represents 100 xp so easy to keep track of.

so that's the method here's the rate i got in an hour and 15 mins ( 1:15)

 

3 floors were 45k dung xp

76.7k crafting xp (255, 292, 220 threads use in the 3 floors)

like 15k woodcutting/mining/fishing experience in gathering

around 25 mins a floor

I don't know if you alched all the items or not, but alching all the drops gives you double the amount of money than selling it to the smuggler...

 

But you're better off doing faster floors to free up more time to make money to train craft with. I know you stated that this is not for the efficient player or the fastest method.

So we have the following rates, per hour:

 

36k dg

61k craft

12k wc, mine, fish

 

Taking woodcutting at 120k/h, mining at 100k/h, fishing at 120k/h (c2), dungeoneering at 300k/h, you get 6, 7, 6 and 7 minutes saved, for a total of ~26 minutes saved per hour. That means 34 minutes to gather 61k crafting xp, which is some 107k xp/h for free.

 

Overall, not a bad way to skill at all, but mostly for DIY players :).

Where did you get those values from? The original values? did you just do a c2 dung yourself?

I used Rilo's rates. Those are per 75 minutes, so you just take 4/5 of that to get the hourly rate. I assume his rates are all for equal amounts of time, so not 45k/floor and 76k craft/3 floors :P. But it could be 45k/floor depending on what floor you did, or 70k. High warp solo meds are usually 80k+ xp.

to be honest it could be faster, but when i dung i kinda take my time, i imagine you could probably do what i did in an hour, but either way not a bad tip for mid-lvl players, especially since i do this in place of a few rushes =P

 

and yes i sell to the smuggler rather than alching because alching is too slow, but i do alch some things if runes are dropped, like if i have 8 entgallow branches and 4 blue charms ill make them into pouches and alch for like 120k in a min =P
