whats the point of crafting...

i think people who have every craft class at 50 can see the benefit of it
but right now, if someone as 0 craft class and want to start, it will take a long time and a LOT of money to start crafting anything relevant
People saying that you make money by making ilv70 craft, great, but how long for a new player to get there?

I only started playing during beta phase 4. I'm almost at 50 with all the crafting/gathering classes, only Culinary is under 50, and its at 44 or 45.

Seeing as I was not the most dedicated towards maxing my crafting and gathering classes, its clearly doable in less time than its taking me ... so "a couple months" or less to get there, depending.

Even new players can make money from crafting and level up to 50 in a reasonable amount of time. For that you need you to make HQ items. Even low level one sells. How to make HQ you ask? Take the time to level up all your crafts to lvl 15 in order to grab the cross-class skills. With those, it becomes much easier to make HQ.

Remember, HQ gives more xp per craft and sells a lot better. HQ leves give triple xp. With that in mind, leveling your crafts, even for newer player shouldn't cost a lot of money or take months to complete.
