Past a certain point, items begin requiring recipes, it's not easy to mass produce things when you need recipes.
You can use opal if you want, but there's a -5 EXP penalty per level higher than the item's recommended level, so for example, if you're at level 7 and the item you wanna make recommends you be at level 1, you'd only gain 60 EXP instead of 100 EXP. Near the end, the recipe levels, the disadvantages of creating of lower leveled items aren't as bad as needing recipes for higher leveled items. This is only for Blacksmithing, and I think Jewel Crafting. You gain 60 EXP per creation with Alchemy and the penalty is -3 instead of -5.
