| So far I'm digging the tradeskill changes. I have not tried leveling my higher level crafters yet but I went back and leveled my armorer (outfitter technically) who had been shelved and sitting at level 17 for the longest time. I got him from midway through 17 to 20 in almost no time.
I also leveled another toon (another outfitter that will be a tailor) from 3 to 19 in very short time with almost no "grinding." I think the only level I had to grind a few items was 17. The rest of the time, I was able to level off of making pristines off of the new recipes and getting the bonus xp. I'm sure that will change at 20 when you only get 3 or so new recipes a level.
I'm also liking the new harvesting system. I've gotten a bunch of rares and the overall harvesting is definitely faster. I've noticed the yield on certain nodes like ore and roots is lower but that could also just be the luck of the draw. I've also yet to harvest any rare metals or gems while at the same time pulling several rare pets, roots and glowing/sparkling type items. |
