After getting Leatherworking up to 15 now, I think I'm just going to save crafting for when I at have at least one level 50 combat class. It doesn't appear like crafting in this game is meant to be leveled up with your class to supply gear, which I guess is something I already knew but hoped to be able to power through.

Maybe it's more so the fault of my server's economy than the game itself; I could definitely just level Blacksmith and Armorer within reason, but the materials from the other classes are always only in expensive stacks on the market. In other games, I could usually just buy the one or two I needed to make specific items.

I'm going to try to just level via dungeon runs and hopefully gear up that way (the gear appears to be better anyway).
