Has anyone found a good way to level up this profession. I would love to be able to craft a new mace and shield. The price of sunlight archeum is so insanely high right now it has been nearly impossible to level. I am looking around to see if anyone found a particular recipe that allows you to reuse spent archeum. Similar to the bracer recipe in the armor professions. Optimally you would craft a weapon, then evenstone it to get the sunlight archeum back for reuse. I hope we don't have to wait until Auroria opens up and we can plant archeum trees.
Your best bet is selling it at a loss. You will get 50%-75% of the gold you spent back, and invest it into buying more Archeum. The evenstone will only give you a sunlight archeum dust or two back, and thus is not really practical.
Why would you want to take a loss? I say hang on to it. Someone will offer you a decent price eventually. It just gets frustsrating, because you are stuck for a while.
