This is a snippet from my stream. I explain how to go about lifeskills and what to do when trying to min-max lifeskills/progression.

-Stamina has a CAP of 2000
-you regenerate 400 each day at daily reset
-Every 300 stamina spent you get 1 lifeskill point to invest in the lifeskill talents
-Also, all lifeskills can be learned (you should, I talk about it a bit later in the video) but most don't progress your gear/gearscore.

i do have a question!!!
How does crafting Gear work? ie. Weapons, Armor, Accessories? Is there a toggle for crafting with/without Focus for Gear

i know we're not anywhere close to that level yet but i crave knowledge

Crafting gear = useless
Doesn't use stamina, you can farm the materials without stamina pmuch
idk what they thought when making this ..

is it due to the lack of that golden substat?

[abstract thistle]

lack of purple line and the gear still rollls randomly

getting leg gear = easy and purple stats are rlly good to get

[tame pilot]

purple line?

how exactly are we getting to the required level to craft the gear tho. currently after completing the 5 quests you can do, where you deliver materials you reach about level 4 for every life skill (5-6 for gathering life skills)
are we just mindlessly hitting nodes to increase the level for the gathering life skills or what? the amount of exp for 1 level up seems too low to make it efficient in early game

[tame pilot]

yea you kinda just mass gather and mass craft basic mats

botany-culinary is the easiest (just gather wheat)

damn that sucks it takes ages to level those life skills up especially gemology and mineralogy :/

[abstract thistle]

just don't.

you'll get the gear soon enough through the dungeons, lifeskilling without stamina gives 1/40 of the XP with stamina
