Thread: Grinding....
I also have chose not to grind. When I was making junky armor early I would practise most of the time and when I would get a decent junky piece, I would keep it and find a newbie and give them the armor or trade it for hides and bones.
It is agood way to start a customer base and that way you can advance with those that are new to the game learning valuable things on how to make.
There is a problem being created with too many people trying to grind in the game in the way that anyone starting the game as a newbie or another character on another server can not purchase anything decent for lower items. Masters stop making most of the lower items and instead stick with the top profit selling items.
So my advice is as a newbie to the profession, cater to the newbie characters and build a relationship with your customers, resource dealers, scouts and tailors. It will help you in the long run and you won't get burnt out on crafting.
Group with a level 80 guild member or friend and do level 75-81 missions with them.
you'll get full xp even if you just get one shot in. and that would be 3000-4500 xp
