Crafting an item for the first time has not given experience for quite some time. It used to be why the Scholar classes leveled so much faster than the rest.Thanks to everyone that responded. I knew there had to be something; I just didn't know what it was. I'll start doing the timelines, I really haven't devoted much time as I though just crafting stuff, especially something new & never crafted before, was enough. I'll check that on-off thing too, I didn't know there was such a thing. Thanks all!
