It's official.. Tried em all and can only level Alchemy with any degree of success. I really really hope EmE fixes this. It really sucks big donkey balls with teeth.

I agree. It's a serious problem.

However, there are multiple threads on the issue.

I got alchemy to 300 which was fairly painless. But there's no way to get it ay higher as there aren't higher level recipes available.

I got everything else to 250, but there's pretty much a brick wall at this point because all of the recipes to get you higher than 250 require an insane amount of materials and gold to create, and you have to create a lot of them to get your level up. For instance to get my focuscrafting from 250 to 300 would require something like 1,450 archrune of titans. All in all, you're looking at like 900k or a million gold or more to get all crafting types to max level. Which is simply ludicrous.

There's already a 15 page topic discussing this on the 1st page here.

Thundercat if you go back a page you should be able to read - General Discussion - Discuss topics related to TERA. I do believe this falls under that heading. If you don't have helpful suggestions or links to posts with more information or perhaps a location to redirect this to.. just stfu you stupid toolish troll.

As far as the other posts go I haven't been able to find anything later than February for post dates. I've been sifting through the interwebs trying to find suggestions/tips/tricks to help move it along. I haven't found a thing so far. Supposedly Ktera has repeatable quests for runes and that would make it feasible as that's the only thing in my way currently.

EmE needs to know that customers are currently dissatisfied with a portion of the game. I'd love to be specific but the system really needs and overhaul. I need 1000 glass bottles to make 100 potions.. Either people in the Tera world mess up a lot or someone skimped on the design process a bit.

Hifi - Thanks for the link, it gave me a lot more information to go over. Hadn't seen that one yet.

^This.

All you did was whine in a completely unproductive way and offered neiher a discussion nor a way to fix this. Not to mention that we have an ongoing discussion about it on the first page.

You're exaggerating a bit too much there.

Making crafting too easy would take the fun out of it as well. Grinding for materials is actually not that bad. It gives a player something to strive for, not some easy max leveling. What sense of pride would anyone be able to have if everyone could easily get 410 crafting in all attributes and make anything you want with relative ease. I personally would be very bored, very quickly. I grew up playing games like RO and MS (before how easy they are today). Back when I played RO it took time to get max level (6months to a year?) and on MS (9 months to level 70 out of 200?). These games actually held people's attention for quite a while especially to get people to stay around long enough to max level. Now would I ever say turn Tera into a grind fest like that? Definitely not, that's not how it's designed. But for some of the things such as crafting, there has to be some sort of time consuming component to it. I see absolutely nothing wrong with the crafting system. It is just too time consuming for people who just look at the number of mats they need and are like forget this (me being one of them), which is something that I really don't see much a problem with.

Its actually over 2000 archrune of titans required to level a weapon craft from 250-290

the 280 weapon recipes require 333 by themselvs. X5...... or you can waste some green bam runs using the attune recipe x2 and the normal x3... shave of 666 runes..... evil... and still stupid.
