Not sure what you mean by "problem is". If your refering to power use or some such, check the ts forums for tips on this.
Personally, I don't craft naked, I do beat all rush writs with plenty of time, I use decent drink. The trick is to read the reaction arts and know what they do...power is not an issue at all if you get this inline, falling asleep is..at least for me..lol
my 45 templar, 55 provisioner crafting naked, using drinks and totems can run very low on power.my 3 Illusionist, 38 Jewler doesn't even need drink. There is a difference.
Again, some research on your part may go a good bit of distance....I have a 70 provisy/67ranger and 48armorer/66guard and a 67tailor/30fury and a 69 jeweler/70 Brig.....to me there is no difference. I use decent drink, craft in whatever I am wearing, always pristine unless i fall asleep and I usually finish builds in the 80%+ pwr range
Not attempting to derail or discourage anyone, but this is things i have learned over 2 years of crafting...Yes, i used to OOP, yes i tried naked, yes i used power totems -- then, I asked people more skilled than myself what i was missing, the answers were surprisingly simple. The real key, and its a little more complicated than this - you don't really need to use power to complete a build quickly and efficiently. The only exception would be the under 20 crafter.

Ah the age-old crafting naked argument hehe. I agree with this poster completely. I have all the tradeskill classes, and as I stated previously, actually restarted 2 of them (as in, started a NEW provi) because I didn' t like their adventure class. And I don't craft naked. I don't even use totems. I only use the power reactively, or occasionally to speed things up, I almost never run out of power. Not saying there's anything wrong with crafting naked or using power, or using a hundred methods for power regen. That's fine, do whatever you are comfortable with. But don't assume that any one method is the right way.
