That's no longer true. The higher level crafting mats introduced with Imperial City require higher levels than 40 to use (I think they require level 45 to buy the passive you need, but I'm not 100% sure on that - it's definitely higher than 40 though).Just to note, for crafting while 50 is the cap, 40 is where all skills cap out so raising the skill cap from 41-50 achieves nothing beyond making you feel good about getting 50 across the board.
