Crafting Noob

Hi, I've been playing since 2.0 and dabbled in crafting abit. I see the new lvl cap as an oppritunity to start crafting again. I have all my crafts to 60 and want to progress. However, all the guides I see say that I need 1000+ crafting. Sine most of my gear came from the moogle vendor I was wondering if you guys could point me to a bare bones guide to 4.0. I'd like to get into it again, but I can't afford to spend 15-20 mil buying ironworks w/ melds. Thanks!

What guide exactly? Just level to 61 and buy nq gear from npc that should get you started. After that just grin leve for the class you want till 70

Lol really that's it? Maybe I was overthinking/over prepping. Thanks =)
