Does the lvl 3 make amber?

Apparently not. Amber appears to be small success, and level 3 doesn't have that I guess. Each level is one recipe, it is listing the different successes for each level and what you get. Sort of like Carronade 14 vs Master Carronade 14.

Are the lvl 2 and lvl 1 even worth it?

depends on how you look at it really - amber which you make quite alot of sells at bout 5k each in ceylon, its a local product from north eu so selling it in the area can be worth it(50's) also amber is used to make fafnir figureheads all the ingredients can be sourced in ceylon if your have handicrafts r10 and casting r8,fafnir can sell at 800k + not bad considering your ingredients are free.....and using an r10/12 hc recipe means your getting decent xp grind - so it can be worth it yes

you also require collection r2+ to source ingredients

if nothing else the stuff you make you can sell to npc's at 5k+ this stuff will essentially pay for the vigour food u need to make it so its a free grind =)

If your aim is to grind purely handicrafts, then no, the jewellery books are not a good option, unless you have an amazing collection rank. Even the third recipe is not yielding a lot of xp compared to the time to collect the materials.

However, you can always set yourself at some landing point with all the relevant books to turn the rest of collected junk (stones, sand, grass etc) into stuff, and then you are grinding collection while getting some money off it (+ exp fame : red, yellow and blue ore give indian stones) and some HC exp. And even the first recipe is better than just throwing the ores away then.

if u want to get some oxford credit , i think white book is the best , while collect white ore , i keep logs , stone , and make wood sculpture and glasswork , and turn the thesis in colony (BBB colony) , when u return a thesis at colony , u get 20% credit bonus , and also i sail to my own colony for +1 HC and make diamond in there (i have r10 management , but for someone doesnt have it , make it while sailing is better) and use the diamond to make fine tribute goods , then i can sail back to EU and store diamond somewhere , go get some gold , come back and get more tribute

Ok heres my advice on the jewelry books

For Grinding you don't need high collection all you need are the Oxford skills it will let you collect 5 at a time in Ceylon this is where you need to be and just make tons of gems if you have all the books you are all set

For profit all books are useless except for blue cut book , white and the yellow book.white and blue book makes some nice adventurer /merchant figureheads, and yellow makes the best maritime figureheads.All the figure heads can sell between 10-30mil EACH. A dungeoneer with high crafting and plunder and rare plunder and double and even triple their profit this way but dungeoneers aren't the smartest players in the game oh well...
