Is Making Equipment Better Than Drops From Mobs, Quests, Etc.

I’m a level 25 assassin is making gear better than drops from mobs and quests, should I farm levels ( woodworking, tailoring, etc ) or is it better to wait mid-late game

 

Crafting is not worth it at all for anything that is not late-game. It is simply way too much effort to get item that might be slightly better than the non-crafted ones. Crafting is good for late game because it allows you to make specific items that you might need in special builds.
