Just so you aren't scared TOO badly by this, so long as you get the level 15 cross-classes, there's still a lot you can do with a single class at level 50. My first tradecraft to 50 was Goldsmith, with all other tradecrafts at level 15. I was able to reliably HQ single-star recipes. Not 100% of the time - no crafting strategy that relies on Hasty Touch will ever manage that - but close enough that it was pretty rare to get a NQ.

I never attempted a double-star recipe until I had a few more skills (Peacock Ore was expensive, and I was too much of a chicken to risk it), but once I did it wasn't nearly as bad as I feared, and I suspect I would have had a high HQ rate even if I hadn't waited for those skills.

If leveling all crafts is too daunting, don't be discouraged; a single-50 crafter can still do quite well for themselves, even if a lot of recipes will be beyond their reach.
