The Equipment crafting does not really level from making stuff. Well, you get some Inspiration, but it is a very small amount.

Number one best way to level any equipment crafting is to farm mobs for loot and decon it. You get as much Inspiration as something someone else made. You also get character exp, gold, chance for set items, and can level skills if you need to while farming. Sell enough of the pieces to cover repairs, then decon the rest.

Buying Intricate items is another good way. I have noticed on the PC anyway, that Intricate items have dropped in price due to all the farming being done so there is a good supply right now.

Finally, you are researching traits right? You need to know traits to make the good gear, and it takes time. You can get to 6 Traits in a month or two on the things you use all the time, but it takes months to get to 9 traits so you want to start as soon as possible on that. Get one trait on everything you use, then the second etc. Then go back and fill in the traits on the things you use less often.

North of Sentinel wayshrine, Alik'ir Desert, zombie beach. (shhh. don't tell everyone at once! =P )

Go there and pull as many mobs as you can handle. Watch the high-CP players and the routes they run to pull efficiently. Try to team up with someone (grouping if you can), and help them pull correctly, and you should get a good amount of drops and exp fairly quick. There is also a merchant just west of that beach for easy bag clearing.

And if you wanna get serious about it, craft yourself some training armor and weapons before you start - as much as you can anyway. On a side note, if you do get efficient with a good random partner (or guildy), it's an excellent opportunity to pop a psijic ambrosia if you do that kind of thing, but it's certainly not important for drops - it just makes the most of your time.

It also sounds like you could use a friendly guild. Do yourself a favor and seek one out here in the correct subforums, or on reddit.

I leveled all my crafting skills with no assistance from a guild. While a Guild can be helpful, say in making you traited items for research, it is not needed to level crafting.

Any Public Dungeon, any Grind Spot on the overland. Like one mentioned above in Alikir. Note, Zombies and Boodfiends are squishy and easy to kill, but they put an AoE damage on death that can be problematical, so be careful of that. There is also an area in Auridon that has tons of animals to kite and kill, in then center western area of that zone. Anyway, each zone has an area or two of quickly spawning mobs that you can run a big circle killing them over and over again. Kite together as many as you can for most efficiency. If there are others there, either run with them, or find a smaller area and do your own pattern and let them have the rest.

If your not ready to handle kiting and taking down large groups of mobs, then either do them 3 or 4 at a time, or run Delves as the mobs are in smaller groups and spaced out.

As for buying stuff, check the Guild Kiosks. Anything that is CP160 and cheap, less than 100 Gold is a candidate. Intricates will cost more of course.

What platform are you on? If your on PC/NA, send me an email in game and I can get you in a couple of guilds that are suited for a solo lone wolf type of player.

I just decon everything instead of vendoring it. Works okay.

If you have the game you do. If you don't have an unlocked wayshrine, then you can use the Navigators (look for the Wagon or Anchor icons when in the major city for a zone)

But, every zone as at least two grind areas, and a Public Dungeon. Does not need to be Alikir.

So it doesn't have to be alikir but alikir is the best spot to grind the mobs for stuff to deconstruct ?

Run normal dungeons.

ryanborror

Use the group finder and run normal dungeons. Deconstruct everything you pick up. Without friends/gold this is the fastest way
