Deconstruction: Does Level Matter?

Ace_of_Destiny · June 2015

I know that deconstructing items made by other players is the fastest way to level an armor skill.
But does level matter?
Does steel give more XP than iron?
And, does a level 16 steel item give more than a level 12 steel item? (I don't know if they are right levels, just an example.)
I am in a "trading pact" with somebody, and we just want to "get the best bang for our buck", as it were.

Thanks!

I am not sure, i got a friend to make 15 iron daggers, i dismantled them, then made 15 daggers of my own and gave them to him and neither of us really leveled much, so I think level (or at least material you are dismantling) matters.

Yes, the level of the item has a big influence on inspiration gain (inspiration = crafting experience point). Search this forum, there is an excel sheet around that details exactly which item to craft for best-bang-for-buck.

Higher quality also grants more inspiration.
