DIfferent Crafting exp?

Torigoma

If feels like I am getting more EXP in Woodworking than Smithing from Deconstruction. Can anyone Confirm this? I thought it might be that the fact that I was getting more Wood than Metal Items, but that's not really the case. Is it because all of the Wood Weapons are 2-handed? so you get more exp?

I believe it is because, say for example you are a tank class. You use heavy armor and a sword, both get crafted out of the blacksmithing skill line.

But if you are an archer you would need woodworking and clothing. So you have to level two skill lines.

Or a Mage that needs robes and a staff, it just requires more crafting skills,
Therefore they make smithing harder to level and that is a good thing

But Woodworking is required for all 3 (Shields).

The inspiration you get is based upon the level of the item you break so that could be part of it. That being said since woodworking has fewer item choices they do give a little more XP then cloth/leather or metal due to total possible drop rate of items.

There certainly is something iffy with the xp rates. I have to craft 3-4 complete sets of armour to get to skill level 2 in blacksmithing, while cooking one soup will propel me to 2 in provisioning.

It's probably safe to say there will be "adjustments"...
