Question in the title.

Before I started crafting, I got my Botanist to 50. Then I got all my DoH classes to 15. I'm not focusing on Leatherworker and it's annoying because I don't have a miner to collect alumen. Alumen is pretty expensive and I don't want to pay for it.

Should I level my miner and fisher up to 50 before I continue crafting? Will this save money in the long run?
