    Nice! That's a great change, will help with the producer experience pool being more equally generated from actual crafting instead of solely from gathering.

    It doesn’t indicate if you will also get the increased exp for the exceptional item

    Has anyone tested that piece of it?

    You gain bonus XP when you craft an exceptional item? I never even knew that.

    Hmm, I've heard people say they make dragon meat one at a time for large exp bonuses? Did they remove this or was this information always wrong.

    No that is correct. It is just that it gives less than armor and weapons - however if you are going to do them anyway then those gives a really good baseline xp.
    @Mac2 could probably sort us out on the specifics.

    Making dragon stew 1 at a time to get the exceptional is great exp, 160 non exceptional and 800 exceptional. Pull 90-130k an hour making stew that way, if I can do that in batch now that would be awesome.

    Have done this myself.

    Why oh why can't we have exceptional on batching for all crafting endeavors. Without it, the batching skill is useless to me and I sit there and refine 1 at a time.

    I don't think this works with the "batching skill" (that we have now), since that was only for refining. This is for batching in general.

    I'm not saying that it is associated with the batching skill; I'm saying that it makes the batching skill almost useless if you don't get exceptionals (and associated exceptional xp) while batching because you still need to click one at a time to get exceptionals with refining and apparently everything else besides weapons and armor.

    I've been getting extra xp from exceptional items(the game has a special sound for it), from everything I've tested. It isn't limited(or wasn't) to armor/weapons. I haven't tested it on furniture/deco, so I can't say if that works also, but I've gotten it on refining ore, wood, cotton,etc., and on making things like heartwood, bolts of cloth,etc.

    Prior to R51, if you crafted ANYTHING one at a time you could get exceptional items. For gear crafting you saw this most obviously because the resulting item was tagged as a +1. At the same time ANY exceptional item is crafted you would hear a different sound and in your misc chat log it would say an exceptional item was made. Exceptional items also grant x5 exp.
    @Sorthious it currently works for deco too
