19 fighter levels will get you Master Artisan (if you don't take an ineligible class along the way). I'm not sure if it's 28 levels for the best enchantment.

Exotic Weapon Crafting is capped at level 19 (level 20 weapons) at the moment.

that means there is no lv 30 craft exotic weapon in this MOD ?

Correct, there aren't any level 30 crafted exotic weapons. However, there are generic and unique exotic weapons that drop off of mobs at levels 25, 30 and so on.

You can craft +6, which is only slightly more useful than imbued adamantine.

from what i've seen all you need is 19 levels in the crafting class to get MA. to upgrade all you need is 28 *character* levels, the rest of your levels past 19 can be in any class that does not limit crafting (i have not tested these combinations but i know you can be bard/figther/wm and still upgrade to level 30 items with only 19 bard levels).
so i think it's ok to multiclass into any base class except cleric (which is expressly forbidden though i have not tested). weapon master works as a prestige class for max crafting.
as an example my bard/ftr/wm started crafting very late in life after taking all his wm levels. i was able to proceed to ma cloth once i had achieved 19 bard levels. he can upgrade stuff to level 30.

yes, you can do that, but what they are trying to say is that you cannot double upgrade weapons at all, wether your 19,28, or pure build. already tried it.

lorkar mentioned that he's crafted +6 weapons (and I'm pretty sure i've seen his character using them). exotic weapons iirc.

My fighter is currently swinging a +6 [censored] sword that I crafted around 2 months ago. I upgraded it twice after crafting. It was a hefty sum of gold and XP for such an incremental increase in damage over the imbued adamantine [censored] sword. It added 1d6 pierce.

Odd, I have a level 25 Pure Fighter and I just tried upgrading a newly crafted Dwarven Waraxe and it says, "You cannot upgrade this item.". I'll wait 12 hours and craft a [censored] Sword and see if I can upgrade that. Maybe the blueprints don't exist in the module for the Dwarven Waraxe?

Just so you know I am not blowing smoke.

I had problems upgrading all the MA gear I crafted before the changes... It's all stuck at lvl20 and can never be upgraded. I tried the Forge in avendel, which fixed the missing properties, but still did not make the items upgradable.
As for weapons... I personally don't care if there are any lvl20 weapons.. I normally just grind away until 16 then switch to the best lvl16 items, then grind away until 25 and equip a full set of 25 gear... well I do equip the ice ammy at 20, or a crystal or crafted ammy depending on the build, and maybe a lvl20 weapon or armor if there is actually a good one.
