Diary of an Armor Crafter
NOTE: The original Diary of an Armor Crafter was pre "Crafting Love" patches (patch 1.87). While I do not, as of yet, have logs for post-patch on AC, you will find post patch SC results.

I am currently adding more logs & information - some links may not work (or you may notice a jump in sequence) as logs are parsed and uploaded. Please bear with me while I add to this site and update it to be a bit more intuitive.

In the crafting forums as well as in /gu and /as chats, many times I've seen the question 'How much does it cost to level a crafter to legendary?'.

NEW: Kessianne of Galahad has decided to become an "All-in-One". All of her crafting time is being logged, and though I will not be breaking it out into incriments of 100, she will be crafting until everything is open on the menu (ie: not stopping at 1000 except in siege and SC). Remember, your own time/plat will vary - but hopefully this will become useful info. You will find her crafting results at the top of the menu to the left.


While there are many good sites out there that give ballpark figures and good "rule of thumb"s, I was curious how much it cost ME to level one. An armor crafter. The way I do it (not always selling back, sometimes letting inexpensive things fall at my feet - other times salvaging my creations to reuse the supplies when I'm just a few points from my goal, etc).

As I wanted an armor crafter on a newer-to-me server, and realized the AC'r I had already started would not be the best toon choice (on same account with my tailor) - I started my new AC'r and kept logs. Kendarie spoke to her Armorsmith Master on September 11th, 2006 to start upon the path of becoming a Legendary Armor Crafter. On September 26th, 2006 - Kendarie earned the title of Legendary Armorcrafter. To view her leveling costs, successes, failures, GreenBar time and other details, please see Armor Crafting pre - 1.87.

Trade Rank - Legendary Armorer!

Shortly after Kendarie reached Legendary status on her Armor, Neosi started working on Spellcrafting. News hit the Camelot Herald that soon learning a trade would be more efficient. Neo worked hard, but was only able to get to 500 SC before the changes came about. Kendarie decided to become legendary in two skills - so there is now a comparison of SpellCrafting 1 - 500 Pre Patch and Post Patch.

On January 11th, 2007 Kendarie spoke to the Spellcrafting Master to start on the path of Legendary Spellcrafter (and legendary status in two crafts) - earning Legendary status on January 21st, 2007. To view her leveling costs, successes, failures, GreenBar time and other details, please see Spell Crafting post - 1.87.

Trade Rank - Legendary Spellcrafter!

If you are about to learn a new Tradeskill, and are willing to keep logs of all skills, purchases and sellbacks for it - I'd love to add all the crafts, you can pm me via .Seren. on VN or find me in game!
