Man, level 30 and 31 & 33 are HELL levels for provisoner.. Refines give like .25 - .5% percent, so either your gonna be gathering a million shrubs, or creating level 28/29 stuff (i decided to do a bunch of level 28 coffees for level 30, and a bunch of refines for 31.
Level 32 ant all that bad, get to make some meats, which give ok exp.
33 is kinda brutal, because one of the combines you need to make require you to be level 34!... doesnt make sense... So basically, only get like 2 new recipies...
GAH
