Hi, toying around with an artificer build, found an easy way to chunk out more crafting XP than you'll ever get with the reserve at the slight price of staying underleved.
The idea behind this is that you get more xp than your buddies if you are at lower ECL.
ECL -1 will do just fine, no need to gimp you more.
So let's say your 3 friends are ECL 5, and you're ECL 4.
They'll need to beat 10*(2xCR4) encounters to get the 5k xp they need to hit ECL 6.
In the meantime it netted you 6k xp, but you only need 4k to hit 10k xp and ECL 5.
Gratz you just got 2k "free" xp to craft with. You want to keep the difference all the time.
Let's just try again ?
3 buddies at ECL 10, you ECL 9. Need to beat 10x (2xCR9) to get 10k xp and hit ECL 11. This gives you 13350 xp, but you need only 9k to hit ECL 10.
4350xp to craft from, bit better than 300 craft reserve eh ?
In the end, most artificers that actually craft have a lower level than the rest of the party, use it to your advantage, stay that way and craft like there's no tomorrow :smallsmile:
