Tools Crafting

How to level up

Craft manufacturing tools to raise this skill. The more advanced the tool to craft, the more experience you earn.

Fastest experience

Levels	Activity	XP/hour	XP	Time
1 → 4	Long Gun Assembly Kit Instruction: Long Gun Assembly Kit same rate: Gunsmith's Basic Kit Metalworking Tool Rifles Assembly Kit	600	3,000	~5 h
4 → 6	Advanced Material Tools Blueprint: Advanced Material Tools same rate: Enhanced Rifle Tooling Heavy Rifle Framework Reinforced Weapon Platform +9	1,200	24,000	~20 h
6 → 10	Cobalt Rifle Tooling Blueprint: Cobalt Rifle Tooling same rate: Hardened Weapon Platform Niobium Rifle Framework Quantum Material Tools +9	1,560	2,160,000	~1,384 h
From level 1 to 10, always on the fastest activity				~1,409 h

XP per hour is the XP of one action × 3,600 ÷ the seconds it takes: gathering at the base time (tools, skill level and other gatherers shorten it) and crafting with the ingredients in hand.

Getting the ingredients takes time too, and it is not in these rates: the planner builds the whole path, with every material.
