Still no "Bonus" jump in my crating exp

[LordDragone]

<DIV>I waited all weekend to see if my crafting exp jumped like everyone elses did but no. Nothing. I went to bed at 74% into level 37 and when I woke up after the update I was STILL at 74% into level 37. What gives SOE? Is my account flagged to not get this jump? If so why? If not then why didn't my exp jump like most everyone elses?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I have heard some say that if a person was only 1% into their level they didn't get the jump. Then I heard others say they were only 1% into their level and DID get the jump. I have 2 toons that I was crafting with heavy for the last 2 weeks so they WERE active during the bonus 50% exp for crafting but neither one got the jump.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>There is no explanation in the forums that I can find about this nor are the update notes clear on what should or should not have happened.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Another odd thing. I don't seem to be getting near as much exp crafting as my wifes character is. We craft side by side. I am an alchemist and she is an armorer so I make her WORTS. She leveled almost 5 times to my 2 levels for the same amount of time crafting. [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn]????? There is something definitely wrong here.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I filed a petition (WHAT A JOKE) the responce I got was "we are sorry for your inconvenience but there is nothing we can do about this. Please feel free to contact us if you have any more troubles" Well this is the responce I always get from my petitions so why the heck bother with them any more.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I really would like an answer on this so please.....don't ignore this post like so many other posts</DIV>

At the start of each tier, you should first get a stack of so of each fungi harvest, and make all the fungi/liquid recipes.  Make one pristine version of each recipe.  There's a lot of them, and this usually takes care of all of the first level in a tier.  After that, make inks and nothing but inks till about the mid-point of the tier.  Make a couple of stacks each of poison and potion vials as well.   Then make one pristine item of all skills, potions, and poisons.   Save non-pristine inks for writs and tasks. Doing this is a lot faster than grinding WORTs.  Since you are making these for your wife as well, you could maybe ask her to make a rough estimate of what she'll need in each tier, and make those for her early in your tier, as you get much less experience for them after about mid-way through the tier.</span><div></div>

My toons might have gained 4-5% each, but the numbers were so small I couldn't remember them. However, my 22 provi was getting 2% XP each from refining tea leaves (white recipe) this morning, and when my tailor dinged 29, I immediately got 10% each (so 20% total, on two items) on imbuing chest and legs for the prov. On the whole I think there is visibly more XP for tradeskilling (finishing off tailor 28 was certainly a lot faster than 26 or 27), but as the others have said, it's on the white recipes where you really see it. <div></div>

on my alchy (41) i didnt really notice a big jump (maybe 2-3% or so). my provisioner who was 44 at the time and close to the end of the level (dont know exactly how close) was at 100% of 54 when i logged her in. I decided to craft on item, hoping it would be what was needed for the 'ding' (just like crafting to pass level 9 then getting your class, you need to craft again to 'ding') and that did it. I did go however from 100% of 54 to 0.0% of 55. Looks like xp was cut of at the end of the level (cant imagine that A. i'd be at exactly that amount of xp and B. a blue recipie would give 0.0% xp. Anyone else noticed this? <p></p>
