I guess the thing to note is to stockpile a ton of materials ahead of time before finally going past lv10+ for any profession. I think you just need to craft Lv8+ items (ones that give 300-500+ exp) are what gives mastery above lv10. The only thing that would bother people the most (at least for me) is the penalty of your EXP decreasing after a while for not crafting anything that gives EXP. Also, most of the crafting materials can hold up to 1,000 in a stack now, so those with tight space will have a little easier time with it. It takes 45,000 EXP for lv11 and 160,000 EXP for lv12. If in need for superior crystals, just plug a lv120 necromancer weapon drop core for evolving world, and horde those to extract. Anyway, here is my input:
Alchemy: This is probably the easiest and fastest profession to reach Lv12 on. Just horde juniper berry seed/flower oils from Evolving World and make potions out of them for 700 exp each. Then buy their respective 'pill' recipes and the bottles/abrasives/coagulant materials from the NPC for another 700 exp. Crafting anything more than that is just a bonus. Cooldown is only 5 minutes in between crafting the same item, but it's simple and pretty consistent.
Smithing: The only things I find efficient enough for leveling this are reverse/timeless equipment and gold label equipment. Reverse/timeless equipment gives 1000-1500 per craft. Gold label stuff gives like 3700 if I remember correctly. You need a lot of black crystals, superior item crystals, pieces/rocks of time for the reverse/timeless stuff while just a bunch of dimension fragments and purple powders for gold label equipment. 15 minute cooldown in between crafting the same item.
Accessory crafting: This is pretty much the same thing as smithing with a 15 minute cooldown in between crafting the same item; you can still craft the gold label accessories for decent exp. I think they give the same 3700 exp per craft. Other than that, I'd craft those lv100-120 str/dex/int/luk VI or whatever rings. They take superior crystals and black crystals. But you can probably extract the the rings to recycle the item crystals back if you need to. They give like 1000-1500 exp too.
