If you use a Hatchet past Level 20 hatchet skill why don’t you gain experience in it like for the gathering and crafting bonuses, and when you have used it enough it grants extra Expertise?
Same with all the other weapons obviously.
Wouldn’t this be an intuitive, easy to manage, wonderful way to gain expertise in a weapon, i.e. using that weapon. Let it go all the way to 625 …
Would be a good idea honestly. Gives another way to increase the obligatory expertise system instead of running the same stuff over and over. hoping for that weapon to drop to bump the score up or crafting a specific cast.
But then again if it were like this their precious time gates were all but gone. Well mainly for weapons you’d still need to do things for armor and jewelry.
