Yes.  Once the update goes live they won't be able to be crafted with any longer, and also won't be able to be deconned any longer.  So either craft with them or decon them before that happens.
  

No, let me be Frank.

My turn now. Is there any way to fast level....no...even level the current CC beyond level 130?

I'm stuck there with all three schools and decon. gives like 5xp per item. Even unbound shard are not giving me exp right now (except for the last ones that keep getting penalty for re-crafting them)

Bad planning on your side Wink at lvl 120 you were suppose to have crafted the 130 crafting shards, at 130 to just be starting the lvl 140+ ones and not already be ransacked on them Sad Are they not giving you any exp or just a little? can you up it with rolling couple of alts and getting some crafting potions via the crafting tutorial?

Good to know, thanks.

@LYRT: yeah, really poor planning. I just kept crafting the highest level I could afford. Used a couple of crafting elixirs along the way too but I'm keeping a good stack  for next update tough

So, a max crafter starts out at level 260.  If you don't care about crafting for others, you can get to crafting ML 34 shards at level 325 (with 50% accuracy and no booster).  At that point you can craft any bound shard (all 3 levels and insightfuls) with 100% success and you can craft unbound shards for all 3 levels as long as they are not insightful.

The last 75 levels of the crafting system seem to be strictly for people who want to be able to craft unbound insightful effects onto gear.  That means you only need to get to around 430k of xp from the 260k you start at.  The remaining 220k to get to 400 isn't necessary for a lot of players. 

I'll probably go to 470k to be level 340 and have 100% success on ML 34 shards, just to save on mats, but beyond that, I'll probably not bother.  Doesn't seem to be enough value.

As an aside, on Day 1, with no grind, I can craft ML 27 gear (ML 28 with a booster) and any bound effect from any tier, including insightful.  Insightful is a 50% success rate, but the rest is 100%.

That's really good to know. IMO there isn't a whole lot of demand to go much higher. At lvl 28 there is SO MUCH absurd named loot, and at 30 it's time to TR. Never did understand the people loosing their shit over ML 30 gear  Shocked

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

My personal feeling is that the level 30 gearset, if you want to stay at cap and run legendary content is:

4-5 Slavers Items (possibly all crafted for sets)
2 LGS Items (maybe more if you want set bonuses)
1-3 Named loot Other Legendary Content
1-3 CC items to fill in holes. 

Level 28 is much the same deal.  Named/Raid loot will fill up 2/3rds to 3/4th of your slots.

CC is a gap filler at 28-30 and has real value in 20-27 for doing E-TR's easily.  I don't waste time worrying about gear from 1-20.  Although I might craft one or two items for 15-20 if I'm going to run the same I-TR repeatedly on all my characters like I did for the deep gnome PL x 3.  There is some economy in doing that if the repetition is high enough.

I think you'd be better off just waiting for the NewCC and doing your leveling there.  You'll be able to convert your lesser essences at 4:1 for the new essence, and your greaters at 1:1.  Right now leveling will require you to expend 3 stacks of 750+ lessers each for one combine to make a useless +potential shard, and I think that making ML shards will be both cheaper and will result in an item you'll be able to actually use instead of discarding.

Technically, if you wanted to spend the time, you could convert all of your greaters to lessers now at 1:5, and then back at 4:1 after NewCC goes live.  Me, I don't have that kind of time for a fairly minor exploit.

Is this using new collectables that the devs hand out on Lamma?  Or just crafting recipes that only require PEDs?  Because 'no grind' doesn't seem terribly possible if you're crafting using the new collectables.

No grind means that at level 260 (which is where current max crafters start) I don't need to do any leveling.  At 260, you will be able to craft level 27 ML shards with a greater than 50% success rate and be able to craft ML 28 shards with about a 40% success rate.  (Should use a booster there to not waste ingredients). 

You can craft any non-insightful effect shards either bound or unbound at 100%.  You can craft bound insightful shards at 50% success and cannot craft unbound insightfuls. 

That's without leveling at all.  No grind.

I would not call that a confirmation...BUT by turbine standards, it could be considered one.

The most broken epic PL in the game is the ridiculous AC buff from martial PLs. But when you include all the inherent benefits from reincarnation, the thing is above the roof. The benefit from TR was supposed to be minimal, but now it is game breaking. start a new character and you will feel, you will get raped in heroics.

Personally I think lower heroics on new characters are harder than Legendary Elite content on a character with good gear and has all destinies farmed.

Wow.

Have you EVER gone to Law School Feyn? Have you EVER been asked by a United States Senator who is now the Vice President of the United States to write a paper just for him on a particular topic of Constitutional Law for his use as a Senator? Have you ever been asked to help a very notable Harvard PhD turned Constitutional scholar with his very-well received book on Legal Philosophy and Constitutional Revolutions? Have you ever been offered a job as a Deputy Attorney General BEFORE you even graduated Law School?

No? Then STFU you fucking amateur.
