10 is the max level.

And.

As the upgrade button would indicate that makes for a 45% reduction in crafting time, but...

I have two jewelers at level 10 and the crafting time for a Polished crystal is 1:22:45. 5% of 120 is 6. So each of the 9 upgrades taking 6 minutes off would've left a crafting time of 66 minutes. it didn't.

(((((((((120 x .95) x .95) x .95) ...)))))) = 75.63 or roughly 1:15:38. So I have no idea how the time reduction is calculated. The 5% changes per level represent an increase in speed, not a decrease in time. The time calculation is that you have to multiply the "base" time by: (100% / (100% + crafting rate change)).

So, for example, if you have a level-7 structure, which had its speed boosted by 30%, you multiply the base time by (100% / 130%). The usual crafting time for a carved crystal is 6 hours. In my level-7 jeweller, the time is 6 hours * (100/130), or 4.615 hours, i.e. 4:36:55.
