Best Sub for WW

iDrizzle · 05-17-2006, 11:43 AM

I'm currently not a high lvl ww, I think like 29.5, but I was wondering what the best sub would be to lvl with WW. I know I"ll need all subs to make it worthwhile, but I"m talking bout lvling while I lvl WW to 100.

So any ideas would be greatly appriciated. I think I"m going to do smithing, or maybe gsmithing, but both are really expensive, so I don't wanna lvl both at the same time until I get to 100 WW.

Also, do the elem staves take any subs to make? I know the beads come outta the gsmithing list, but I wasn't sure if you needed any sub to make them.

I used Smithing and Goldsmithing VERY little when leveling to the 90s. Bonecraft was handy in the 80s, capping at 91. In the mid- to upper-90s you'll need moderate Smithing to skill up.

As far as profit, you hit it right on the head. You need most/all subcrafts leveled.

Smithing is a good sub for Woodworking. There are lots of weapons that require some smithing skill to make.

Other crafts that are worthy of note: Goldsmithing, Clothcraft, Bonecraft, Leathercraft, Alchemy. Why Alchemy? Mostly to make your own bast parchment and black ink for shihei.

I hope you are not leveling up woodworking specifically for making elemental staves. Look at the price of an elemental bead, then look at the price of the corresponding staff. Not worth the money. The only way it is worthwhile is if you have a mule that has 80+ Goldsmithing to make your own beads. Thats after you grow your own ore.

Naw, I just want to have a signed light, dark, and earth staff for my jobs. I'm lvling ww mainly because I was bored one day, and happened to be in sandoria lol. I plan on taking it to 100 because I have some RL friends that are planning on lvling sam and rng, and I wanna help um out with arrows. Plus having a craft to 100 isn't bad.

Also, my friend gardens elem beads, and since I said I'd make him arrows he said he'd hook me up with a few beads for free lol.

Holy moly! Free beads? Sweet! I need a friend like that.

No, the elemental staves don't require a subcraft. Like they said, there are several very useful sub crafts for woodworking.
People do craft ele staves, but usually only when they're at or near 100+3 and know how to manipulate the crafting times and days to achieve a higher HQ rate.

heh yea. I guess he figures since I"ve known him like....10 years he can chip in a few free ores lol. It is also nice because he is a goldsmith, so he can make um into beads ^^.
