Beginner Crafter

Does fishing net some of the items needed to craft in any of the DoH besides like culinarian?

Fish glue, fish oil, shark oil Alch.
Jewelry uses certain fish, coral by color but as said, they are foods.

tbh, you might want to get Culi to 50 first and it has nothing to do with easy or hard. Culi is a horrible inventory drag. It's going to eat up a lot of space.

Take them to 50, go back and do all the crafting quests. I just got around to doing leather crafting quests and it took all of an hour to get from 15 to 50. You will be able to appreciate the story line of each crafting guild better as well, if you are doing them back to back.

You are in a better position doing crafting now than people were 'back then'.

Something you are going to want to do while leveling is, desynth the NQ's you make. Chose two Desynth classes now. They are essential at and after 50. Fieldcraft and Master DemiMateria are going to play a big role in crafting after 50 and if you need to buy them because you didn't get the desynth up, it's going to cost you. There is a lot of content in crafting and gathering and much like getting a DoW to 60 doesn't make you Alex extreme ready, getting one or even all the crafts and gathering to 60 doesn't make you 3 star ready. It takes a well ordered mind to be a top end crafter.
