Artificer Training

[sorkvir]

So I have a little gnome alt running around doing artificing (yeah, I'm an alt-aholic).

I've gotten him to lvl 9 artificing so far, but I ran out of recipes from the trainer in Mekalia (sp?).

My questions are:

Do I just grind to 11 to get the amateur quests?

- Yes. Artificers have a lack of recipes from level 7 to post-amateur training

Do I need my own crafting faction to learn recipes?

- Unknown.

Should I go start grinding out WO's for Khal and forget about my home cave?

- Yes, you actually can get bigger faction increases at Outposts

My concern is that all I've been doing is grinding WO's for Mekalia. I have like 150+ Qalia artisan faction yet only ~50 of Mekalia. Do I need to grind that last 50 to see more recipes? Also, there is no 'outpost' for Mekalia so that'd mean one WO at a time.

- An outpost does exist, but it is surrounded by level 30ish mobs

I never had this problem with my outfitter, he always had recipes to learn at least every even level. That doesn't seem to be the case with my artificer though .

There is supposed to be an outpost in the middle of the continent (see Crafting Faction Table page).

So I can get WO's at that outpost? Can I also get recipes? (read you wiki last night before I posted). Do I need to get my faction above 100 to learn recipes in my own style?

I was just taken aback because I never had this problem in Kojan. I was able to level up crafting in my home town without ever leaving.

Just going to answer my questions ing the original post in-case someone has the same questions.

yes, I hear voices and talk back to them
