Leveling a craft is supposed to be expensive so that for example, you can sell the Leather needed for Gobbiebag for 200k....whomever has leather working cornered I hate and respect you at the same time.

So, I told them that I'm gonna implement a plan I've had for a while where, if Yag drinks ever got too low, I'd just bring them down to no-profit levels and craft them for the good of the server, rather than for profit.

That leather drops already in leather form. Leathercrafters get no benefit out of that leather.

I'll look up that guide cheers for working on it. Though I do take issue with your comment about crafting Back on Retail (different economy I know) I wrote a guide for getting every craft 0-60 with profit. Not every synth was a profit but by purely levelling up (not spamming for HQ's when you are able to on lower items) you could follow them and hit 60 on each craft and be in a better financial position. Sometimes only just (Smithing & Goldsmithing come to mind) but also sometimes by a multiple of the money you put into levelling up. Granted a lot of items had to be farmed but also you can always shop around to find things cheap from NPC's
I looked at those old guides and while they did need tweeking for Nas server, it's still doable on the ones I've checked so far (or was til high(er) level crafters started spamming low level items for a loss and killing any profit. )

Lynx Leather drops already? Where? Wiki doesn't have any locations. Is it specific to Nasomi?

Lynx leather drops from 60 cap OWNMs.
