Crafting versus loot

aerandor

Ok searched the forum and only one post was close to my question that I could find, but not satisfactory enough. Basically I want to know, at roughly each stage of play (lvl 10, 20, 30, 40, etc.) whether crafted items or loot items are better to use, in terms of time, cost, stats, etc.? Also is it better to learn only one or two craft skills or to learn them all?

crafted and looted items dont really have a difference (well the crafted item has the name of the crafter). the both have random stats so u should compare the stats.

looted items are..free xD unless u are extremely lucky they wont always be good. same goes with crafted items but... u have to pay to get them.

you dont have to learn the manufactoring skills. apothecary is quite easy, cheap and useful.
if u dont have people that you can trust (guild/friends) maybe u should learn crafting (u can always buy crafted items though).

So basically the item crafted is totally random? Doesn't any of the user's stats affect the outcome?

I've never heard of the crafter's stats affecting the outcome of the items s/he crafts. So I guess it's pure luck at play here.
