Overview
Artificing is one of the quickest and easiest crafts to level. Similarly to becoming a Chef, t’s also incredibly cheap (contrary to many guides) and can be levelled to 400 in around 30 minutes when you have the ingredients prepared.
Artificers can create magical weapons such as Scepters, Foci and Staffs, as well as potions that provide similar combative buffs against enemies. Unlike being a Chef, money can be made from being an Artificer due to the rare weapons you can make to then salvage.
Please note: It is always recommend that you place Buy Orders for crafting ingredients or components. This will take a period of time to gather them all, but will save you money.
