People can get to 60 in about 4 hours (on a very slow day) due to grind mage efficiency.

Also, "easy to get mats" are still very uh.. hard to find, considering dungeoning is needed in almost every case (or if you're making weapons, you're having to buy ore if you don't wanna go grind for ore). Hopping from 1 > 20 in one fight is easy. Hell, hopping from 1 > 30 at times can be 'easy'. This is just an alternative so people don't have to spam-grind mage with someone to get to be a level 60 crafter. Albeit, I don't see why a person that wants to level as a crafter really needs stats. Especially if they just RP and don't get in fights. Guards are around to protect them, among other things.

If that is your concern though, Dev. Can't you simply make crafting things take up stamina? Hell, even simply making it so that you can't craft items if you're at your encumbrance also works.
