How does crafting XP works?

[Tojaskukac]

I'm level 42, crafted an awning and it gave me 10000 XP, crafted again and it gave 0 XP.
Waited around 3-4 minutes, crafted again and boom, 10000 XP again, crafted again and 0 XP.

Is there a max XP/minute kind of thing or whats the trick?

it's probably because you have crafted the third one directly by using the recipe placed in your hotbar. You don't get XP while directly crafting stuff from your hotbar icons, you have to go into your characters recipes window and craft from there.

Wow.. i would've never thought about that, the devs are very tricky about bugs (or is this intended? Why would it be lol)

Wait really? I've never heard of this bug before. If you haven't already, would you be willing to create a detailed post and post it onto the official forums documenting this? I can't imagine that this was intentional.

i don't think it's intended. this bug was here for a VERY VERY long time, but it seems it has never been fixed apparently.

A few players like "jeastamid" have already reported it during the first days following the official release and i clearly remember having had this bug during EA myself ( i was always opening my character inventory window to craft stuff from there and NOT FROM THE HOTBAR ) and i admit it can become a bit annoying when you're crafting expensive stuff at low- mid level, since you get litteraly NO XP by crafting from the hotbar.

Hegemon can probably check it himself since he' is not lvl 60 already apparently.

I'am, because i started crafting vaults and thrones when i asked this question. Leveling with vaults was 2 hours from 44 to 60, alone. After i knew what caused the no xp bug :)

But i can confirm, no xp from hotbar, I tested it.

Wow. Never noticed this. This is certainly a bug. Side note: They need to look at coin crafting again. Having to babysit the furnace and quickly click coins so that they don't get eaten up and reconverted into bars (you lose them) is another irksome thing.

This is as old as the sands of the southern exiled lands. I started EA shortly after it launched and have never seen it behave any differently.

Pro tip: If you're going to be crafting a lot of a few item types and you hate using your inventory menu, you can drag the menu items from the inventory screen to the hot bar and SHOULD get XP from crafting in this way. (haven't tested in a while)
