I came back to the game about 2 months ago now, at that time I started all the remaining classes I had to get (6 of them) they are now just entering the 40's.  The other 3 are 70's.  I wouldn't say I use them regularly though, the prov had so much stock made up to get to 70 it'll be past new expansion before I use it all.  Plus I use crafters to keep myself self sufficient so unless I (or my guild) need something they don't get touched.

[TaleraRis]

None of mine are 70 right now. The sage, alchemist and jeweler are 60, tailor and woodworker are in the late 50s, provisioner, weaponsmith and carpenter are in the low 50s and my armorsmith is tier 3 still since my guild already has a main armorsmith. From what I've seen, there are a lot of crafters who have maxed their main and might have some alts, or just decided to concentrate only on that trade. I would say from what people have said in threads and indicated in signatures, that's probably the majority of those who actively post.

[Looker1010]

My goal is for all my gals to be level 70 by the time ROK comes out. 4 down, 5 to go.

[denmom]

Just what's in my sig...which I update as the three which are left gain in levels. But right now I'm holding off leveling the WS, WW, and Carpy until GU37 when the writ xp goes live. <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> I did have an Armourer but when a guildee surpassed mine, they took over as guild Armourer.

[Deson]

All capped including tinkering and transmuting and all but the main (woodworker) capped on faction(oldest guy and I hated old writs because of timers and "shaped").

[Rijacki]

It really doesn't say anything about a player whether they have one 70 crafter or multiples or even if they only have 1 character at all.  Someone can even be playing every day since release and still not be 70 in anything if they're not concerned about leveling. It doesn't mean that person is any less involved in the game or "doing it wrong", they're just doing it different. I'm also an RPer.  I've had characters set aside because the RP reason I had for them fizzled or got.. umm.. altered.  Not just in EQ2 but in other games before, too. Motivations in the game don't have to be the same for every player for each individual player to have fun.  My boyfriend is quest obsessed enough so that he's doing -all- of the old book quests that he bought ages ago.  Killing endless greys drives me buggy.  Camping something for too long (like the last bouncer) drives me nuts.  I'm distractable.  Alchemy in the early days held my interest.  Each time alchemy has changed I've found stuff I enjoy about it again even if it takes a bit of time to do so.  I haven't really sustained that kind of... umm.. motivation for my other crafting.  Having fun in the game is really -all- that it's about.  It's a game.  It's entertainment.  It's supposed to be fun, not a task you're required to do in order to have some fleeting renown. (oh.. and yeah.. I'm a she.  definately a she.  very definately a she *laugh*).

Hiya, I have a L70 Provi, (she's also 131 transmuting), followed by a slew of upcoming crafters...but not quite near being maxed yet.  Jeweler is 40, carp. is 31 (or so), and my alchy is...gah I can't remember as it's very late, but she's a baby too.

[Terron]

I have <ul> <li>Jeweler 64 / Transmuter 127</li> <li>Woodworker 48 / Tinker 11</li> <li>Tailor 52</li> <li>Alchemist 54</li> <li>Carpenter 34</li> <li>Provisioner 31</li> <li>Artisan 9</li> </ul> I just about stopped crafting for several months after LU24. My jeweler sometimes makes stuff for my alts, and sometimes stocks up on resistance jewelry for sale.  He still has several level 64 prisitines to get so I expect him to get to 65 within a month or so. My woodworker sells a fair amount of arrows and totems, and I'd like to get her to 49 for the invis totems and then 50 for the FD quest. My tailor is the one I most want to level currently as my fury has just reached 52. I got him to 52 last weekend. 53 will be a very good level for him. However he does need a lot of raws to level. Mostly I make bags which do sell for a good profit. My alchemist will probably get to 55 fairly quickly when I get around to using up the rest of her level 54 prisitines. I recently moved 2 of my toons to larger status housing, and my carpenter got several levels from making items for them. I still need a few items for one of them, and 35 should be good for the larger boxes, so I expect to get him to 35 soon. My provisioner has been catching up a bit due to the recent changes. I normally only make provisions for my other toons, though they also buy some when they need level appropiate stuff. I stocked up recently so it depends on when the mood next takes me on when she levels up again. My most recent toon got to level 9 with 17 minutes crafting doing the initial crafting quests. None of the other three classes apeals to me to I haven't chosen one for her.

[Taltos40k]

I have all my crafters over 40 and a few over 50, I started my own guild so I could pass raws easily between them (different factions and alignments). Using only tradeskill writs when I had no pristine bonus options, I have levelled the guild to level 18 (no HQ or city writs by adventure classes). My aim is a level 30 guild and all crafters at 70. AllI have learnt so far, is armorer and weaponsmith the hardest to level, as they need raws (feyiron, fulginate), that seem more like rares on my server <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

[Karlen]

Woodworker level 67.  This is my only crafter so I have no maxed crafters.

[FoxRiverRanger]

<p>I have one level 70 crafter: a woodworker (the character in my signature).  I enjoy running writs to the point of neglecting leveling the others: 17days, 8 hours, 29 min tradeskill time played with almost 352,000 items crafted and over 720,000 GSP contributed.  With the woodworker I usually end up completing between 5 and 20 writs a night.  This is the only character that might come close to being called maxed, although I see no need to level transmuting beyond the point where I can transmute the items my 70 woodworker/34 ranger can loot.</p><p>The others: a 38 provisioner, a 40 tailor, a 40 armorer, and a 50 jeweler (who has yet to attempted a level 49 or 50 combine).  They, excluding the provisioner, were created to use the rares I harvested and to help equip my ranger.  I hate selling an item when I can craft something with it.  </p><p>I have only sporadically logged on the alts to grind for XP, preferring to just craft what I need to replace on the broker.  Both the jeweler and armorer have over 1 day of tradeskill time; the majority of which was spent replacing sold items for the broker.  Often they are crafting lower tier recipes for little to no XP.</p><p>The provisioner is the only one that I made a concerted effort to level, and that was just to catch up to the others as he got off to a late start.  But I was pleased to find I could make 6 stacks of food/drink an hour, providing enough for all my characters to use; and have additional to sell.</p><p>Between restocking the broker and timed writs, I usually craft between 50 and 100 combines a night.  I have never felt the need to rush all my characters to 70 and then ‘get back to the game', as crafting, selling, and harvesting are the aspects of the game I most frequently choose to play.</p><p>I am looking forward to leveling my woodworker again, although the others might not see any play time for weeks.  Particularly if I can find safe places in which a 34 ranger can harvest in tier 8.  I harvest all my commons in tier 1 to 6, but find it is better to buy tier 7 harvests.</p>

[Liyle]

My main (Tailor) is 70 is my only one maxed out. I have 2 more: 63 Woodworker and 65 Alchemist on hold while I level up my 51 Jeweler to replace my hubby's (he wants to reroll.) So I will end up with 4 or 5 before the expansion in November. At lower levels I have a 33 Prov and a 31 Carpenter who is working on my new house  I have started leveling her up too after a long time in mothballs. She might end up 70 eventually. My husband has a 70 Prov, 68 Jeweler and a 68 Armorer. Also a 48 Sage and a few lower levels.

<p>I have 2 T7, 1 T6, 3 T5 and 2 sages at T4 almost T5.  I haven't bothered with a weaponsmith and also have a 314 tinker and 120 transmuter.</p><p>These aren't just pure crafters and I like to level adventure levels. The 2 T7 are about maxed in both.  I craft mostly to gear my main and twink somewhat.  I enjoy the game with better gear and skills/spells.  I also am working on doing WOs to level my guild to 60.  I don't think that even if I get all those crafters to max while doing work orders that we will be 60 but it's not just my guild.  My current goals are maxing tinkering which at this point is just a grind and getting the other crafters as high as I can while getting GSP.  I don't mess with rares to broker items on cap raised expansions.   The prices are out of control.   Orders are better.</p>

[Calthine]

I actually only have two maxed crafters, my Woodowrker and Provisioner.  My Sage is 69, and my Weaponsmith is in her mid 50's.

[sliderhouserules]

I started Purrgo weaponsmithing in the old days and since I don't grind I didn't quite reach max before DoF came out. But when it did I hustled and leveled through into T6 to cash in on the buying frenzy that every expansion brings. I was 60 not too long after. And I reached 70 a few weeks after the cap was raised again (with KoS? it's late, can't remember right now for some reason). A couple WS's on Unrest beat me but I was in the first few to the top. I started leveling my Tailor sometime in the DoF days, or just before, and reached T7 before GU24. I think I got some of my levels in T7 shortly after GU24 but I can't remember. Been 70 tailor since GU24 timeframe, I believe. Can't remember when updates happened compared to expansions, so... might be getting that wrong. GU24 really [Removed for Content] me off so I took some time off from crafting. I used to craft all the time, do writs, etc. I spent more time in the crafting dungeon than out in the world, and I actually had a lot of fun at it. I worked the market, played the broker a bit, had repeat customers and was fairly well-known. People would look me up, saying their friend recommended me, etc. I mostly focused on custom orders, kept a stock of subs so I could make people's weapons while they waited, talked in the crafting channel a lot. Crafting really made this game engaging for me. My Paladin's adventure levels were always right in line with his Weaponsmith levels, so it's not like that's *all* I did (and I had a Warden that was usually about half as high adventure-wise, too). I just liked crafting, so I spent a lot of time doing it. Not so post-GU24. To be fair, after my initial disgust with GU24 subsided I leveled a jeweler from 1 to 70 to give the new single-combines system a full shot. I actually made more money selling common jewelry as I leveled the jeweler than all the prior stuff I did in this game to make money (mostly just after EoF release, so that's a little slanted, but... still valid). Yet despite making money hand-over-fist it was the most mind-numbing, boring, turn-me-off-to-EQ2 time I've ever spent. I actually liked leveling my transmuting more than I liked leveling the jeweler. I figure I spent around 70 to 80 real hours playing Goblin Invaders on Queen's Colony with a level-locked level 4 wizard to get transmuting fodder -- but those are better memories than leveling the jeweler. Memories of how much I liked the system pre-GU24 die hard. I honestly have no idea how I'd like the current system if I hadn't played in those days. I still craft with all three of my crafters. I typically only do work for my own chars, my guildies, and people that look me up/get referred to me/etc. Or if I'm bored or working my broker I'll answer calls in the channels, especially when someone has been asking for a while and it's apparent they're not finding anyone to help them (Weaponsmiths are a bit scarce on Unrest). I make my money nowadays selling my adventure loot, and playing the numbers game buying fodder off the broker, transmuting it and selling adornment raws. I find I have zero inclination to start any new crafters. I really don't like the system now, and between me, my wife, and one other guy in my guild we have all crafting classes at 70, so there's very little motivation for me (my guildie is working on all 9 to 70, so apparently there is for him...). I've been concentrating on questing, and getting my little guild organized enough to start doing small raids. And I've leveled a wizard, and had some of the most fun in the game with him so far. Glide is the shiznat, and I just recently got Manaburn... hehehe love it. I'm not sure what perspective having maxed crafters gives me compared to someone who hasn't reached 70, cause I've been "maxed" for so long now. I think there are a couple other important achievements that amount to paradigm shifts, that just reaching max level doesn't really do for you: getting to the point where you *know* the system, and having played during some of the different "stages" of the crafting system. I think both of those give a crafter more relevant experience and perspective than simply reaching 70. Which is why I thought to explain myself more verbosely above.

60 Jeweler, 48 Carpenter, 30something Alchemist, 23 Armorer. Once I can harvest my own supply from T7, I'll get the Jeweler to 70 quick. I'm not cra.. er, dedicated enough to try to harvest in zones where the mobs can one-shot me <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> The carpenter was my first, but leveling has gotten too slow for my tastes so he's only made a couple levels in the past few months. Might finally make some progress with him again once XP for writs goes in <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<p>I only post here once in a blue moon, but what the heck, I'll answer:</p><p>Order is most frequently played, both as an adventurer and as an artisan, but I'll only list artisan levels:</p><p>70th Weaponsmith/tier 7 Transmuter almost maxed out (something like 330/350 skill, give or take)</p><p>70th Alchemist</p><p>40th Armorer (semi on hold until GU 37, armorer takes a LONG time, want the help tradeskill writ EXP will give)</p><p>25th Carpenter (been meaning to level him more, really should with all the new recipes in Gu 36 and coming with GU 37)</p><p>Have plans on making an otherwise dormant character either a woodworker or a tailor, waiting until GU37 so levelling is a bit easier if/when I do.</p><p>Think that's it.  So..some maxed, some not, want at least the armorer at 70th by November.</p>

[VolgaDark]

<p>70 Provisioner who is also mid range Trasmuter but omg transmuting is sooooo boring (to me at least) so I don't see her maxing it anytime in near future. </p><p>70 Jeweler</p><p>70 Alchemist</p><p>65 Sage</p><p>56 Woodworker </p><p>The provisioner is my main and she's also my only character with maxed adventuring level, rest are all over the level range in adventuring ...... 4, 20-ish, 32, 63..... </p>

It's a secondary tradeskill, and like the primary tradeskill, you can only choose <i>one</i>. I like having to make that choice.

If that happens, there will be 0 advantage to being a Transmuter any longer as a secondary skill.

70 Warden/51 Provisioner I don't post here at the moment. I do read every single day. and repeatedly gush about the information here to my guild-mates on Vent, to the point where they have protested "If you say harvesting algorithm or RNG one more time!!!"... lol My next toon will be a Mystic/Alchemist, when RoK comes out : )

[Pantoffelsluiper]

70 provisioner/350 transmuter 70 jeweler 66 alchemist 54 sage 32 carpenter 31 tailor I'm more of a 'forum reader' than a 'forum poster', but I thought I might as well join this discussion.  All of the above's adventure lvls range from 46-70 and then I have my 'baby character' who has yet to pick a tradeskill.

I rarely ever post myself however as my guild will attest to I love to TS thus having 7 of the 9 already at lvl 70 now, my woodworker is in the 60s and my carpenter is in the mid 50s.  Have made it my goal to have all 9 at 70 by RoK and I am way ahead of schedule lol.  I also have a 350 Transmuter and tinkerer.

[Valdaglerion]

<p>It appears as though most PLAYERS are already high level MULTI-CLASSED crafters already or at the very least are heading in that direction. What I havent seen is a redundancy in the classes, ie. "I  like Provisioning so much that I have 5 level 70 Provisioners". What I am seeing is that people have 1-2 accounts and are using each toon to do a different craft with thereby making the player self-sufficient anyway, being able to respond to market changes, keep from destroying raws by having one of their alts craft into something to sell, etc. </p><p>So, I am truly failing to see how allowing multi-classing on a single toon will affect the economy or gameplay when it is being done with multiple toons by a single player in the current implementation. I cant see that allowing multi-classing is going to all the sudden flood the market because everyone that already has a single carpenter is going to run out and create 6 more with every alt they have...</p><p>If this is really just about SOE wanting to create a money sink for the players to ensure we have to keep that 2nd account to do all crafts, then I wish they would jsut say that. </p><p>Can someone please explain this to me because I just cant see it?</p>

[Nuhus]

<p>I have 2 maxed and they are listed in my sig. Someone called me a dedicated crafter a little while back for some reason but truth be told I wouldn't consider myself a dedicated crafter, I lean more that way but I wouldn't say dedicated.
