I noticed as I was trying to build Jewelry skill xp I only got about 135xp unless I created a new recipe with a gem then i got around 1300xp. When I was building my weapon skill I always got around 1300xp, it didn't matter if the weapon had stats or was crude iron. Do your PC stats effect the amount of xp you get per skill?
