+100 internets !
Ahh ok that makes sense. Thank you.
You can run normal Gen and Laz with your normal gear. The cost for normal runs is less than you make from the bosses now. Expertise goes up pretty quick in these dungeons.
I already have 200 armoring. This does not matter, if I craft armor over my expertise, it is nerfed.
Unless it has changed, the few items I have crafted so far in the 550-560 range were nerfed once in my inventory to the halfway point between my expertise and their crafted gear score 
200 Armoring has never felt more useless lol.
I thought there was no expertise drop if YOU crafted it. Not your friend.
I have crafted 3 gauntlets and all 3 have been nerfed to the avg between expertise and GS. Was this fixed in the last 4-5 days?
Weird I thought I read that crafted would not change if your crafted it yourself. Ill look and see if I can find it.
If this is the case, it is extremely new, as I crafted 3 gauntlets in the 550-560 range on Sunday or Monday and all three nerfed to the midpoint just like items bought off the TP.
If now all of a sudden that has changed, then it’s welcome news, but it was absolutely not the case as recently as this past weekend. These were also the holiday event blueprints however - as far as I am aware they shouldn’t be treated any differently in this case, but maybe it is another new and exciting bug?
It’s supposed to be like that from the patch that introduced the final expertise degrading system.
If it’s not like then you need report a bug.
This is the way it is supposed to work…
If it isn’t working that way then bug report it
Report your bug. Lol. Just for clarification. YOU need to craft it. Not your buddy.
that’s probably another bug, and no idea
I’ll craft a nothingness today and see if it has diminishing expertise
Yeah, I’m testing now and I’m thinking this may have been a bug related to the holiday blueprints - I just did some normal armor and it all came out fine.
Also, the “not your buddy” thing you add to each of your replies just makes you come off as a presumptuous douche. Immediately assuming someone would lie about their… trade skill level? Is definitely a you issue you need to work on, my dude.
I die a little inside every time I see that screen
actually I thought those were all AP levels at first glance haha. still pretty good
Sigh I tried to edit my previous but it deleted it instead.
I want to work on my weaponsmithing but every time I think about the grind Im like nope.
oh my god if i ever have all those AP levels i have to assume something horrible has happened and i have devoted my life entirely to new world.
and i am in the same boat with weaponsmithing and arcana. i start collecting or buying mats, and get flashbacks of grinding my way to 200 armoring and how i never made a single item i actually used

Totally feel the same as I also grinded out armorsmithing post patch.
My bad. I said it once then said, again, for clarification because many people on here read one sentence and continue to rage. So I don’t think it’s a me problem. Its the NW community. And look,
Here’s proof.
Just trying to help man. But aight.
