I am still abit unclear on some of the aspects of doing artisan work. Once I hit level 10 I became a outfitter. I am not a level 13 outfitter, however I got that level from making things from all trades. The main 2 questions I got are about useing those skills to keep from getting hurt while crafting, and what dictates your chances at success.
When I read the descriptions of some of those skills you push while crafting it says something about giving you a better chance at success but at lower quality? So does that mean you are sometimes better not to push those skills? I noticed sometimes it will say stuff like major impurities, and sometimes just minor.
Also does your artisan level really have anything to do with your chances of success, or is it purely based on your skill in the particlar trade your working? Reason I asked is there is a ton of green very easy recipes that give me the chance to get pristine, and many times I end up with crude, or nothing. I think a major problem I got is I got my artisan levels from doing things that didn't really involve tailoring. I got the recipes for decent stuff that should be green, I just can't make it.
