Overview[]
One of the main ways to gain Crafting experience is to complete crafting work orders. These can be done either in the major cities (New Targonor, Ahgram, Leth Nurae, and so on) or in certain crafting outposts.
Doing work orders in cities is discouraged. The work orders in crafting outposts get higher faction rewards and better drops. Also, city work orders end with tier 2 anyway, after which point you'll be forced to craft in outposts.
There are significant advantages to completing work orders in the outposts. One of those advantages is that the outposts offer a range of useful faction adjustments, in factions that every crafter will need if they wish to obtain recipes at the higher tiers, and even more so if they wish to gain access to boat-building recipes or house-building recipes.
Do sets until you can manage tier 3 batches to all grade A. When exactly you can do that depends upon your gear, your skill management and your personal skill, but it usually doesn't work immediately with level 21.
This page gives a list of the major crafting outposts in Telon, and documents the faction adjustments given by completing work orders at each of them.
Note: most housing outposts also have crafting areas.

Presentation of Data[]
The data is presented split by continental artisan faction. It is pointed out that two of the three outposts giving Kojan Artisan faction are not actually based on the continent of Kojan!
Most of the factional adjustments are given in the form A/B/C/D. These refer to the faction rewards depending on the overall quality at which the work order was completed.
- To get the "A" faction adjustment values, every item in the work order must be completed at "A" grade. Note that whether the completions are at 75% quality or 100% quality makes no difference to faction reward.
- Failing that, to get the "B" faction adjustment values, every item in the work order must be completed at "B" grade or above.
- Failing that, to get the "C" faction adjustment values, every item in the work order must be completed at "C" grade or above.
- Finally, if some (but not all) of the items in a multi-item work order failed to make Grade C, or were not even attempted, but at least one item was completed (at grade "C" or above), then the "D" faction adjustment values are earned
These apply to multi-item work orders, but the A/B/C values also apply to single-item work orders in exactly the same way (obviously the D rating for partial completion is not relevant to the single-item case).
Note that not all combinations for 3-item and 5-item work orders have been individually checked, but are assumed by extrapolation. Also note that the numbers given below are the final sum of the faction adjustments. Vanguard actually reports these rewards split over a larger number of lines. Any lines reporting zero are not listed here at all.
