If you have any tips of ways to craft more efficiently, please post them here.
I have two:
1) For Apothecary... in the higher levels, you need higher levels of water to get successes. However, at 120 skill, I found this...after wasting a LOT of extra L100 water... Instead of using two Level 100 water, only use 1. You will see the message about this potion being unstable. Add a Level 1 water as your second stabilizer and see if you are guaranteed a success. I haven't tried using the Level 1 bottles - mostly been using the L50 and whatever higher level bottles I get from PQ bags.
2) For Talisman-making (Hedge-wizardry). In the higher levels, instead of buying tons of high-level gold dust, curios, and essences... just collect your normal fragments, and use whatever materials you happen to have on hand, but beyond that, use the level 1 materials for gains, and save the higher level materials to make talismans to use/sell/trade/give to the guild.
The L1 dust/essence/curio result in a crappy talisman (usually +3), but will have the same chance of gaining as using higher materials. The only thing that seems to impact your chance of gaining is the level of the fragment.
