What do you guys think about them? I'm not sure if I should rank them or not. Do they give any good stat bonuses?

Edit:

Thug Life

I'm ranking Magic Craft atm ~ It's the first tougher life skill I've ever ranked and thus I'm quite annoyed at times. I wished the plants would drop more items or have lower HP. It's a pain to kill them in masses, maybe I should hire fireballing mages or crash-shooting archers or...

R9+ will take longer with all the mats needed to get the magic accessory & weapons requirement done.

Note-worthy stuff I want to craft is:

http://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/view/Drosera
http://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/view/Savage_Fire_Wand and the 2 other wands too, for my mage friends.

Stats gain is:

STR +12
INT +12
STAM +15

Engineering is a goddamn pain. If it didn't give Strength, I wouldn't have bothered with it.

I rank production skills to produce things, not for stat bonuses. The ordeal is considerably more fun if the skill is difficult, too. Thus, I rather love these new additions~

I'm sort of the same way - but I'm finding engineering a bigger hurdle than I expected. The sheer numbers of items required to train the higher ranks are really taxing my patience. It pretty much just comes down to how much patience do you have when hunting for cores.

As for magic craft...I expect it'll be easier than engineering, but I'm no longer planning on getting r5 before the end of the life skill event.

That's true, the cores are a pain. I dislike having to go out of my way to slaughter hordes of mobs just to get on with my production...
