Spellcrafting tips

Well I've started a SC'r and Davim started a Tailor, so I was wondering if anybody has any links to any good spellcrafting sites. I've got access to the calculators but just wanted to read up a bit while I craft on Davims Tailor and my spellcrafter while I'm doing it, any help appreciated!

The great thing about SC'ing is that there are so many things to craft you can always be crafting within a coupl eof points of your level. Craft low oranges (2-3 points above skill level) and it goes relatively fast. (I did it in the days before the /mbuy command when you had to run around Cammy for ingredients I think I was mad!).

Once you've done a few hundred points you'll begin to see the structure of the gems and skill levels and you'll know which ones to swap to each time.

You won;t be able to do o/c til you're 1k skill (well you might get lucky but you'll laso blow up a fair bit) but you can make alot of the gems people need for templates well below that so if you know a LGM SC'er it works quite nicely if you make gems for some of their orders - someone in guild worked with Katya like this - they'd make al the gems they could then I'd just do the imbueing and any difficult gems.

Little tip for the Tailor - salvage everything from lowbie group and it will work out very cheap to level up :)

Well I had been keeping to yellows then swapping every 10 dings, but I'm going to try it the other way now with oranges. I didn't even notice there was a structure of anything in the chaos, but trying it the way you suggested will obviously reveal the hidden secrets of the craft to me!

Thanks for the tips! :)

Everything that can't be used by a member of the lowbie group that is. We're not allowed to transfer stuff from alts.

Though joc's wizard's glowy staff looks suspicious ;)


For tailoring i'd recommend sticking to gloves and sleeves as much as possible. Also don't forget secondary trades for levelling any leather/metalworking etc if it lags behind.

This has some useful info

I'm a shallow person, and I can't help it! :oops:

I argued with davim till I was blue in the face that it levelled with the skill, thinking it would be much like Armour crafting, but alas I was wrong and he was right (rar :( )
