I just did a bunch of moderate and difficult WOs with my blacksmith (now weaponsmith, me and everyone else
), and she got nowhere near as many. I also made a bunch of harvesting tools before that, which would probably have been "easy" level and again, while I got a few, it certainly wasn't near as many as the outfitters seem to be getting.
For me, certainly, the blacksmithing and artificing are a lot less frustrating right now. Complications are good - choking on them is not. ;-)
