first off, congats! Finishing them is still quite a task. But i must ask, how high was your leathercraft? Losing a few points is one thing, but if was at 100 before u did cooking... lol
Lol, my LC was 62.something, I had this thought I'd level LC instead, and delevel cooking, but like I said, inventory issues put an end to crafting for a long time.
I stopped crafting about 2 years ago, due to inventory issues, and hard-to-come-by ingredients.
After the last update I've found myself with extra space due to satchel, sack and the storage of a lot of gear. Also, dragon meat is now plentiful, screw Royal Jelly and cursed soup, seriously...
