[Changes to Crafting Experience:]
The base mechanic for crafting experience delivery has been re-worked. You no longer need a success chance lower than 100% to gain experience. Instead, experience awarded is based on the amount of material used to craft an item. This is calculated at a rate of 3 experience per piece of material.
