Explain the crafting skill level section

[Cmdr Wispa]

Can someone explain what they mean when the game says my skills increase by 1 or 2 points in the crafting tree section? Does that make things go faster or what?

Crafting skill levels are required to unlock recipes, 3 pts/levels are needed to unlock the top level recipes.

You can get this in a couple ways, placing the max 2 pts in the crafting skill and getting the level 2 epic, Gear Crafting Epic. Tools, weapons and tech are divided, but the Gear Crafting Epic gives pts or levels to all three areas.

There is also a level 3 epic skill that can add +1 level to only one of these divisions, but it also reduces the spark cost of crafting those gear items.

Say you wanted to be able to craft all the gem tools; you could put 1 pt in tool crafting, 5 pts in Gear Crafting Epic and 5 pts in Tool Crafting Epic... this will give you a total of 3 pts or levels. It would also give you +1 level in Weapon and tech crafting and reduce spark cost by 20% for tool crafting.
