Here is a quick way to level up some of your gear/weapon crafting
Buy Dragon Heart Gear/Weapons on the market if price is 200k or less else you can buy the Volcano Valley Equipment Boxes they have random dragon gear in them
Sure it costs a few bobs to get you started but the idea is to dismantle them the pieces give from 2-8k craft exp and you get back around 70-90% of your invested cash from selling the Earth Element you get from dismantle they sell on the market from around 7-14k/piece depending on current value.
To go from level 1 to 20 in axe for an example is ALOT more time consuming and expencive if you have to craft and do it the hard way instead you only need to get 3-5 Dragon Heart Axe's cost if you have the patience 600-1m that you get most of back.
It's a nice trick to know to speed things up abit
One of them things you wish you knew when you started
So craft the things you need and dismantle for the gear xp
