How high do I take a jeweler or say a armourer to sell to the lockers

When I played PvP I kept a level-locked harvester who was also a crafter. I started with a Prov and rolled another as soon as she hit the PvP agro level. This way I added crafters and they seemed to reach max selling efficiency at about the time they were no longer useful for harvesting. I was able to harvest with an under 10 up through Rivervale without any problem. I liked to wear a pretty crafted dress and carry a nice looking weapon so that I didn't look like just another a plat farmer. You kind of have to feel your way along in the market. Most people like to play Antonica where you have knights on horseback defending the castle, so you have a lot of under 20's but there is def a market in the 30's and 40's. It just depends. Most people level up crafters as fast as possible and of course they all stop at 70, so you are going to have a lot more competition in t7. But, for pure money-making t1-4 is the place to be. The best food/drink is at the end of each tier, so you want to be 29 (for example) to get those recipes and probably continue producing them into the lower parts of the next tier. I would say that lvl 29 would be a good point to shoot for if you want to level a bunch of crafters to fatten your pocket on PvP. Another thing I did was to craft whenever I could at an outdoor station next to a broker. That way you can keep the broker window up beside the crafting station window and drop into your sales crate as you go. Also you can pick up raws off the broker if you run short. If I was harvesting a lot I would backstock raws on the broker where I could tap into my own sales stacks if I ran short (otherwise they would make a little money.) I used whoever was doing this as my merchant of course.
