[quote="BRADC"]People say craft daggers as it's down to how many attempts and crafting higher craft skill required items make no difference? How come I get less skill when I craft a full bag of daggers than say a full bag of bastard sword or steel gloves?? I can craft less B sword or Steel gloves than I can daggers but I gain more skill? Many thanks Brad[/quote]

[quote="SQUEAL"]you do get more craft skill when making higher weps. its just the material -:- skill ratio is best at daggers[/quote]

[quote="LORD_GRIM"]Because your materials go further allowing more total crafts and as a result more skill. Mats is everything and theres not enough to go around. Fact is if you had mats up front you can 0-100 sr in 5 days.[/quote]

[quote="FLICKTHEBEAN"]There are bonuses. If you have +10skill from required, you'd have to do far less crafts per .1 skill than if you had +50+++ of requirement. Daggers are 0skill required, so the lowest possible bonus. I believe the bonus bands are +0-+10, +10-+30, +30-+50 of requirement, then i've noticed no effect after +50. Bonus route isn't really viable time-wise as you need far more materials, so I'd still suggest daggers all the way.[/quote]

[quote="BRADC"]Perfect Flick, that is literally the post I was hoping for, thanks a lot. Also I've got plenty of mats - 85k+ copper, 75k+ leather, 70k+ wood, 90k+ linen for now and just me crafting so I'm going to try keep in skill bonus range for now, I just didn't want to bother if the 'faster' skill gain that I felt I was getting crafting higher required items was just placebo. Thanks for the help all I am crafter[/quote]

[quote="GRAVIJA"]The problem is with crafting for faster skill, you will very quickly burn through those mats and gain less overall skill than if you used them all crafting daggers/shoes. If you have unlimited barr and materials then go for it, but if you find yourself crafting your materials too fast you might want to reconsider going back to crafting daggers/shoes.[/quote]

MadDragon glove is 53skill req, compared to the next best highest req without bones (of a different weapon class), being blackdevil sword at 30skill req. So knuckles are your best bet, thought they cost a lot of bagweight per unit.[/quote]
