Acquiring Materials

Although it is possible to receive Leather and Dragonhides from fighting various Monsters, it is much faster to buy them from the

Shop

. Leather can be purchased directly from the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Shop

for 100GP per piece, and Dragonhides can be purchased for an amount of GP and Leather depending on the tier. This guide will assume you are purchasing all materials from the store as gathering them via combat will take substantially longer than it would to make the money through other means. Note that the amount of dragonhides required can be reduced by using the

synergy grants +20% chance to double any leather or dragonhide items produced. Both of these synergies effectively increase the profitability of the outlined levelling strategy.

Fastest Experience

Levels 1-20/60: Leather Armour

From

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 1 to 60

, players should make the highest-level Leather item available. Jewellery materials cannot be feasibly acquired in large enough quantities to offer a real alternative, although players who already have Gold Bars and gems on hand may choose to mix them in to speed things up slightly. Once you reach

Level 18

, you should craft Leather Chaps all the way until

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 57

. This is the most efficient craft per Leather. If you have an abundance of GP or Leather, then just continue making the highest level item until

Levels 20-63: Gold Necklaces

From

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 20 to 63

, the fastest experience comes from crafting gold jewellery. Note that gold rings and necklaces provide the same experience rate for a given tier, but gold necklaces will sell for slightly more.

Levels 60/63-99: D-hide Bodies

From

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 63

to

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 71

, items made out of Green Dragonhide are the most efficient XP/level. Since Green Dragonhide can effectively be purchased from the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Shop

for 200GP per piece and items made from Green Dragonhide sell for an amount equal to 200GP per piece of dragonhide required, making Green Dragonhide items is cost neutral as a baseline and will actually turn a small profit thanks to materials saved by the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mastery

effect.

After reaching

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 71

, players will be able to craft Blue D-hide bodies. While the cost of hides required for each body is greater than the sale price of the body its self, break-even may still be achieved through the use of resource preservation and item doubling bonuses. Assuming no chance to double applies, the break-even point may be reached with a preservation bonus of at least 15% - this can be achieved with a combination of item mastery bonuses (+0.2% per level) and other global Skill Boosts. Taking advantage of Crafting specific and global doubling bonuses will lower the amount of preservation required to reach the break-even point. From

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 77

onwards, the player can create Red D-hide Bodies for a higher XP rate than the previous bodies provide. These bodies require a preservation bonus of at least 28% to avoid making a loss (assuming no chance to double applies). The exact minimal preservation bonus (in percent), taking into account doubling ([math]\displaystyle{ D }[/math] in percent), can be expressed as [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{300 - 8D}{11} }[/math].

Black Dragonhide cannot be bought at the store and is difficult to obtain in sufficient quantities for training Crafting, which is why Red D-hide Bodies are preferable all the way to 99.

Other Methods

Crafting Gold Diamond Necklaces provides the fastest experience from

Levels 84-99: Black D-hide Bodies

From

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 84 to 99

, the player can return to crafting Dragonhide Bodies. The Black D-hide Body provides the fastest experience rate up to

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 99

, but Black Dragonhide cannot be purchased from the

. For this reason, this method is only efficient if the player has previously farmed Black Dragons.

At the standard action time of 3 seconds, this would take 16d:22h:35m:24s. Total cost for Red Dragonhide is 2,927,448 Leather and 512,303,400GP. If you buy the Leather from the

as well, then it would cost 805,048,200GP in total.
