Advanced Guide for leveling living skills (not include alchemy)

dionysus

This tutorial is based on an articale from Chinese MWO website and my onw experience. Since all my characters are in Dynasty, my explaination will be all based on the situations in Dynasty.

I started to level living skills last week and now i got lv5 mining, lv8 craftman, lv5blacksmith and lv5 tailor. i only play at night when i have time but bot all the time during day time.

This guide is about leveling mining, craftman, blacksmith and tailor skills. These skills are related, you better do all four togather to lower the cost and reduce the time consumed.

First of all, you better have 2 characters, and about 3mil gold in your pocket. One of them is better a 40+ warrior(temper is better) or summor to do mining, because you need to get lv4,5 ore at mines where mobs will attack you.

First step is leveling mining skill for both of your character at lv1 and lv2 mines in the map where your born village is located. Or you can leave your 40+ character (i will call it blacksmith later) in mine and level your other character(i will call it tailor later) at sky city to get Flax and leather to level tailor skill.

End of lessen 1......
To be continued..........

Next goal is to get 50 lv8 (flammable) stones to be craftman lv2. You can either buy it from other players if your are rich ( they are about 10k/each in Dynasty) or collect them by yourself. i perfer D.I.Y. You can get it in 2 ways. Your tailor is leveling in skycity where you got a lot chance to get lv8 stones. My tailor was botting overnight there and gave me about 5 to 10 stones per night.

Another way is to decomposing low level gears. Now it's time to use those flax and soft leathers and lv1 and lv2 ores your collect. you can level both blacksmith and tailor skills by using those materials. But what kind of gears you should make? Here is the

GOLDEN RULE: ALWAYS STICK TO THE LEAST COST AND MOST EFFECTIVE WAY.

Going through the gear list under either blacksmith or tailor tab, You will see defferent gears need different combinations of raw materials. As far as i remember the best way to begin blacksmith train is to making lv12 gloves cost 1:6 lv2:lv1 ore. For tailor,it's 1:3 Flax:leather or leather:Flax (i dont remember which gear, but it's easy for you to figure out).  This ratio seems fixed even for high level training but different gears and raw materials.

Decomposing all the gears you got not only can provide 50 lv8 stones but supply normal magic powders for level craftman skills after you get craftman lv2. So just keep them. Since in these days those rich and lazy kids dont want to waste time in decomposing gears, no one is selling those powders .  

end of lesson 2.....
To be continued........

Hi
I have a question about the Craftsman skill.

Description says:
Produce Amulet, and attack items.

Can someone give us a breakdown here?
Amulet like amulets we can equip on our characters?
Attack items .. weapons?

So far I'm at lvl 2 and only can
(1) Turn Lv 8 Stones into Lv 16 Stone (5:1)
(2) Merge Normal Magic Powder into Fine Magic Powder (5:1)

I remember reading at lvl 4 or 5 there's some new fancy option, but can't find the info.

Thanks in advance

The only real use for craftsman at the moment is for making powders. (5:1 ratio)
Lv2 = Fine, Lv4 = Perfect, Lv6 = Excellent, Lv8 = Fantastic.

Later it can be used to make furniture but since no-one has homes etc they are pointless.

Lucky star = dunno (enchantment)
Bloodlust Heart = 1% phys attack into HP or the opposite (enchantment)

At lvl 7 and above you can make rings, necklaces and amulets but you need the Lv7 ore which is non-existent.

Don't know what you get at Lv9 though as I've went to level my others skills instead now.

lucky = item drop + (good for last hit boss)
lv7 bloodlust stones= 40/1000 hp leech, that's the main purpose to level craftman skill and why it's most usefull and important except for tailor to make dodge set.

another wonderful thing is to combine gems to turn those junk gems into super nice gems. @lv9, you can turn 5 lv40 gems in to lv48 gem.

Thanks for you guys attention to this post:p, i am almost lv10 craftman now, i will finish this post late.

I dissagree that the only good use is the powders. Yes, I get a lot of powders for my mounts, but I also quite enjoy the enchanting items I can make.

I would be interested where I can find a list of what each enchanting item does, is there such a list?

Kazari

Alchemy:
Life Origin = +Vit
Wisdom Origin = +Int

Blacksmithing:
Power Crystal = +Power
Agi Crystal = +Agi
Accurate Eye = +Hit

Tailoring:
Fortified Armor Piece = +Def
Phantom Armor Piece = +Dodge

Craftsman:
Lucky Star = +Drop rate
Bloodlust Heart = Turns x% of Phys attack into HP

Pretty sure this is what they all do...

Nice list!
Thank you Kazari

where did i say making powder is the only good thing lol, but before you can make enchanting material, only good thing for level craftman skill is powder. As far as you can make lv1 enchanting material, stop making powder, enchanting mat will be the best way to do it.
