As of right now the ONLY way to increase Handiness or Crafting skill is to Craft things.
That would not be so bad if it was not such a money sink. It is very hard to craft a fishing pole for 200 M and sell it for a profit.
Makes leveling crafting a difficult and costly grind.
Maybe give us a skill book or a show on tv. Something.
Thanks for listening.
Поддерживаю! И еще добавлю - почему снимаются деньги за производство предметов, если мы их делаем из металлов, палок и камней? Надо все таки оставить нам выбор - или крафт за деньги, или за ресурсы! А иначе не логично. /// I support you! And I would also like to add - why are money being withdrawn for the production of objects if we make them from metals, sticks and stones? We still have to give us a choice - either craft for money or for resources! Otherwise it’s not logical.
Agreed! Crafting tools to level handiness leaves you in exactly the same place financially, as they are sold for as much as they cost to make, which makes no sense and is out of balance with say, painting, in which you can actually make a profit in return for your time.
And yes, we should not have to pay to craft tools from parts we have gathered ourselves, this makes no sense! So far trying to be a crafter has cost my Zoi rather than earning her anything because of these mechanics. To say nothing of how difficult it is to find the materials to make the high-tier tools for gathering and farming…
