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)
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.

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%.
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.
