I have been trying to become a crafter but it looks like is not that easy to get the materials to craft whithout paying for them. I am right?

    Its best to stay within the level range of the mobs that drop your mats until you no longer need them imo by dumping exp into genies etc ,i've been that doing that on an alt and works out well for me,thats if you wanna do it the free way though.

    Had a hard time levelling my crafting skills on veno cause i outlevelled the mobs and mats would no longer drop.

    Another thing to think about is try making items that use the lowest amount of mats from mobs. It may not be something you can use, but it gets you another point and you can move on to high level items.

    Are you trying to say that if my level is higher than the mob one there is lower chance to get the drop?

    Yeah,its stupid if you ask me but there you go,even just 10 lvls over the mob you're killing for mats the chance is largely reduced drop wise...one way around it though is if you squad up with a low level friend and kill those lower lvl mobs for your mats,significantly more will drop again then.

    Try to keep your mat mobs within the whitenamed range of your level,or light green.

    if you know how you can use your pet to kill multiple low mobs one hit kill another after and keep on doing it I had a line up of 23 mats after every kill, another way is to help low lvls kill mobs more chances of it being drops of what you want, for people looking for rough fur kill sharks in endless ocean.

    That only works if they're a Veno. The character in question appears to be a Wizzy. They have no pet. They self tank. Same goes for every other class out there.

    ~ If you felt like it, you could make an alt to farm mats for you and to keep them from leveling out of range of the mat you're trying to farm just kill them over and over. That also depends on the mat you're looking to get. L20-30 are easy to get if you're only looking for the lowbie mats.
