My character is VR6. I have the Blacksmithing hireling advanced to full. But somehow I keep getting the mats to create voidsteel, which is vr9+, not mats appropriate for my level (ie Galatite)
The crafting system is a hopelessly muddled affair, deconning results are dependent on your character level (and always have been in my experience) while things like Hireling returns are based on crafting level.
Be glad you are getting upper level stuff. My V4 gets bone, nickle, maple and my lvl 10 gets turpin, dreugh wax, and all upper level items for 50 and above.
My V4 is max 50 on all crafting and maxed on all passives and skill levels. My lvl 10 has one point each for skills in crafting. Crazy.....
