Ranks
To become an experienced crafter, every ten skill levels, you are required to prove to the guild that you "have what it takes" by crafting (or buying) an item of the guild's choosing. This item can be turned in once you have reached an "8" in skill (8, 28, 48, etc.), or higher skill (up to the cap).

Relations Between Crafts Above Skill Level 60After you hit level 60 you get 40 levels to distribute among the other crafts you also have above level 60. Meaning you can get every single craft up to 60 without any issues, but post 60 you have 40 levels to distribute. The only exception to this rule is Fishing. You can level Fishing to 100, all the rest of the crafts to 60, and still have the 40 points left to distribute as you want. If you raise a craft skill past 60, after already having 40 levels distributed to other crafts above 60, the level of the crafts already above 60 will decrease. In other words, other than fishing, you can get one other craft to 100 while the other crafts will default to 60. To delevel a previous craft back to 60 and journeyman talk to your current guildmaster and she/he will give you the choice to do so. |
