Best Crafting Mule

[Galeria]

OK, so I'm going to make a crafting mule artificer eventually.

I keep reading comments that human is the best choice for a crafting artificer. Can someone tell me why?

Thanks!

The mark of making.

Human can get the dragonmark of finding which gives you a total of +10 crafting levels on top of the arti crafting levels

How does a mark of making (repair spells) help crafting? I think I'm missing something.

I do see how the mark of finding can get you better loot to deconstruct but can you link me to where it gives you more crafting levels?

Thanks for your help!

Found this thread and have the same question. I am prepping a WF Artificer and was told I should be human. But I cannot find any math that shows a bonus to Crafting. I have heard and read a lot of people saying that there is a stacking +10 crafting but I have not seen this officially posted anywhere.

I have double checked in game Dragonmark feats (check unavailable feats list) and DDOWiki. But again, I find NO crafting bonus listed anywhere.

Is this from an older test server sample that did not make it into live? Is there a Developer note stating it is an untyped bonus? Is there a Crafting Bonus?

Does anyone have an official reference they can sent me to?

From release notes:

The Dragonmarks of Making now grant bonuses (+3 for Least, +3 for Lesser, and +4 for Greater) to crafting skills.

That's +10 to crafting levels that stacks with the +10 from Arty 20.

Thanks!

I read the release notes looking for something about this, but must have missed it. Human it is.
