Rijacki (whom I would consider a regular poster on this board) acknowledged that he only has one L70 crafter (and some alts who are slowly moving along).
Valdeglerion (whom I would also consider a regular poster on this board) said he thought that most of the posters here had maxed out their crafters.
So which is it? Do the posters here for the most part have their crafters maxed out?
You don't need to have 9 L70 crafters to be maxed out. But of the crafters you use regularly (whether 1 or 4 or 7), how many are at L70 and holding for the Kunark expansion?
I wouldn't say I am anywhere near maxed. I will probably only use 5 of my 9 crafters with any regularity, but I only have one L70 (my tailor) at the moment.
Psst, Rijacki is a she.

Depending on definitions, I'm either very maxxed, or very not.

My "main" crafting army consists of four level 70 crafters (carpenter, tailor, provisioner, alchemist). One of those is 70/70 adventurer/crafter (and 327 transmuter), another is 69/70 (and 200-something tinker). However, given the nature of what I do, I've got at least one crafting alt on my primary server for every single tradeskill, so that I can check stuff out firsthand. The "late bloomers" are 40 weaponsmith, 42 armorsmith and 48 woodworker. I once in a while also break out my token evil folks, who are a 50 jeweler and a 58 sage. Note that all of these, other than the provisioner, who is a 20-tanksomethingorother, are also used for adventuring as the mood strikes me. As long as I can help out my guildmates here and there, and have some fun, well, I'll level the lower alts as I feel like it.
