Just want to know what exactly influences XP in these two skills:


HARVEST

(Just prospect quality and mats pulled?)


CRAFT

(Just quality level made and number of mats used?)



I have some theories, but I want to know how to maximize my XP in each of these skills.

For harvest, the biggest influence seems to be quality that you extract compared to your skill level. The experience also is also influenced by the number of mats you pull but not as much as by the quality you pull.

For crafting, it's a combination of the quality you build and the number of mats used in the particular item you craft. I haven't done testing to find out if you build 2 items that take 5 mats each or one item that takes 10 mats if it gives the same total experience (assuming the same quality and skill level). I'd be curious if that's the case.

Don't forget harvest exp also gets affected by if you exhaust the source (like -20%) or explode/cloud it (-13%) exp, but the biggest factor is ql and then number of mats, assuming you don't botch the harvest.

Crafting is based on mats and level. Each mat in an item is worth 100 exp if its at the identical crafting level as your skill. I've never noticed a difference based on quality, but maybe I've not been paying attention while grinding.
