So I have a main and an alt. I made the alt today since I love crafting in this game and have read all over the place how you want to deconstruct items with either a friend or send them to an alt. I ran around, grabbed tons of wood, cloth and ore, made some stuff, put in bank and had my main deconstruct. The returns on decontructing looked measly...really really small but then I deconstructed something and it looked like I got 25% of an entire level! It wasn't a green piece...they were all white with no improvements or traits or whatever. I then made stuff with my main, sent back to alt and the same damn thing. I'm very confused.
Does it matter what level you make stuff to deconstruct? Meaning will I get more IP for a level 10 item as opposed to a level 5 item. Same goes for making something. I'd assume I'd get more IP for a higher level item but I've not seen it anywhere.
Say I want to make (or deconstruct) 2 level 10 axes. When I deconstruct (or create) them, will I get more IP for the 1st item as opposed to the 2nd? In other words, will I get 100 IP for deconstructing the 1st level 10 axe and then 75 IP for deconstructing the 2nd level 10 axe?
I'm still fiddling around so I might have more questions....thanks for any insight!
