Crafting higher quality items

[ACHILLES]

I am crafting basic farming tools so only getting level 1 material. I have al necessary level 1 material to craft bit it stil dint alow me to craft level one. The only way now is to get higher level material by someone else to craft what am i doing wrong

How to get quality 20 wood, no rupu vine needed:
1) Gather some quality 1 wood and fiber. Make a beat stick, Q1.
2) Use the beat stick to get better quality wood from driftwood (won't work on a tree).
3) Make a higher quality beat stick.
4) Repeat steps 2 & 3 until you have a Q10 beat stick (that is as high as you can go).
5) Now follow the guide here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rM6Gt2k3zWGwzAbSeO1cdze2qWqe12p3dUpUdDz97z4/preview

While high quality makes sense only to farm more resources (standard advanced axe gets about 12 bone splinters from a node, quality 40 advanced axe about 15-17).
For weapons the bonus is too small to make a difference in PVP.

For walkers quality matters, as you get 1 module slot per quality. Due to the recent stupid module nerfs a quality of 30 or 40 is more than enough for your walker.

tbh, dont waste your time on this. some griefer is going to come along and break all your good workstations and steal your best tools. Also crafting of HQ stuff takes way to long. HQ workstations should be well protected, so in a base. Taking out your base for 2h to craft some high tier stuff is extremely risky. I know this sounds very harsh, but i really do speak from experience. Lost a bunch of lv80 stations (playing solo, so took quite some time) and one of the guys who were raiding me was actually mocking me ("Do you hear that? Thats me hitting your qualitiy workstations". They ended up zeroing my LV 45 Stilletto too because they were mad that the base was empty as i had moved everything a day earlier to a newly buildt tobogan base which i havent taken out since out of fear of loosing everything i have left.. i got no more backups no.. So long story short. Dont invest time in farming quality, you end up getting attached to your ♥♥♥♥ and it hurts when you end up loosing it, which you most definately will at some point if you actually want to use it. Got 400+ hours in the game but am pretty much done now.. no way to hide from the zergs, its just pure luck if youre going to have a good day or not on Last Oasis
