Crafting worth while early?

Well, if you think about it, that's not true at all: everything you listed (bone chips, belts, etc.) can be done at higher levels also, and in fact a higher level character can do those things more easily/faster.

For instance a level 30 can kill more Crushbone orcs per hour, and thus get more belts, than a level 15 can. Of course you won't be getting any XP if you do the same stuff 15-30 as you did 1-15, but in terms of plat per hour a 30 can make plat faster than a 15.

True, but it really-really sucks when someone with anon on is one-hitting things to farm, blocking out all the lowbies wanting the camp to level. Well bone chips isn't a problem, skullys are everywhere outside starting areas, but belts can be a naughty thing to farm imo. I do farm belts on occasion, but 1. if some level appropriate players come long, I'll ask if they want the camp and then I'll move on (or just move on), or 2. I'll PL lower lvl players for their belts they collect and if there aren't other lowbie players wanting the spot for my PL lowbie to just group with. Sadly tough, I often see too many OP lvl players blocking out newbie camps, some even throwing a tissy if you ask for the camp or one of their camps for your lower level character you're on. I mean really, at times it's pretty bad... need to just log and play another character somewhere else rahter than just get in a big fight with some high lvl player in the zone there to just farm [You must be logged in to view images.
