Tips on the best way to level this?

best way it to skill AC with a tailor friend.
he makes 10-15 peices of leather and gives it to you. you use metal and the leather to make chain.
this is one of the most ideal ways with the least money sink.

If not, then you need to skill on Studded.
Mid Armorcrafting example from 205 skill.:
Stelskodd Gloves from 205-225
Svardkoff Gloves from 225-235
Stelskodd Boots from 235-255
Svarskodd Boots from 255-275
Stelskoff Sleeves from 275-295
Starkaskoff Boots from 295-305
repeat.....


Metal is your worst money sink. salvage all you can ! i did this when leveling and saved a ton of money !!

good luck

Selling the crafted items is far more profitable than salvaging. Don't listen to this above poster!

I think he refered the salvage everything to drops while leveling his toon, not AC.

to sum up: salvage drops, sell crafted!

so long...

Perhaps a stupid question, but, vendor, or sell to players?

Straight to vendor unless you can find a player that actually wants to spend top dollars on crap gear.

I am 825 right now, do I really have to go to the relic keeps, stock up on components then come back to the realm to find a forge and level there with what I bought?

I spent 200g (straight loss) to level 800-825, is this what i can expect to level to 950 ? 200g/25 points at least ?

Regards,

That sounds steep, especially at the beginning of the tier. Are you just making tacuil gloves/boots? I basically refuse to make orange things when I level, because they fail way more often, and they lose me materials. I get very good gains on yellows. I think I did 800-900 in something like 600g. I did 900-1000 in 900g.
