Crafting an item gives 20 points towards your crafting skill, there is no bonus for crafting higher level items.
Once your crafting skill reaches double the level of the item you are trying to craft, you will no longer gain points from crafting the item. (With the exception of Ammo crafting).
The best way to level crafting is to produce as many of the lowest level item as possible, this not only reduces the costs in materials but also reduces the chance of failure when crafting an item.

The most effective way of leveling is to break down stacks of Mid Mika down into their lowest form, Mika. This will provide you with sizable quantities of Mika for crafting Magazines.
4 Stacks of Mid Mika should be sufficent to reach 99 skill level, or at the very least reach 89 skill level which is when you get your last recipe.
Ammo Crafting allows the specialist to create special ammo for guns and bows.
Getting to 99 PT only enhances your chance at success when creating ammo.
Accretians cannot make rockets or flamethrower cartridges, but can manufacture grenade launcher ammo.
