Yo! New to MMOs, have a few questions!

[LunaFaye]

If you wanted to know about making money, then crafting isnt the answer. Most crafts arent all that profitable until you get into the upper-echelon(especially if you need to buy mats). So if the question was making money, you actually want to look at the gathering classes instead. You can turn mining/botany into a profitable venture MUCH easier then you can for any crafting class. Just look at the items you can gather, look at what sells on the market board, and you can start focusing your energies in that direction. A good low level example is Alumen, gather-able by miners from level 14 or 15 onward. Leatherworkers need alumen from roughly level 15 all the way into the mid-40s to turn skins into workable leather. However, many people are too lazy to get it themselves. So the market for this material is broad, dependable, and long lasting. Of course, if you werent asking about making money then just disregard this whole added part. That can always be the type of thing you consider later on as you shouldnt have a huge need for money while leveling. The story, the quests, and the dungeons youll do along the way should for the most part keep you in acceptable gear.

So theres a wall of text to answer some easy questions. And this board tends to be a super-helpful place, so if theres more you want/need to know you can always come back. For now, keep enjoying the game!

Not true at all.Everybody thinks just the high end crafts make money, and even so they do if you want quick profit, the lower level and mid range items sell quite well especially since nobody bothers to craft these anymore. Just check the market board on your server and within a couple of hours you'll see what sells and what doesn't.

This is just for people that like to craft and make profit. If you're just playing the game and are not very interested in crafting, forget about it since you get enough gear via quests and cheap from the market board later on. You'll have enough money from just doing that and maybe even sell the mats you get during dungeon runs/hunts/questing.

Same for the gathering professions, even so I do agree alumen sells and is great again for quick profit, there are other mats that sell even better and most people do not even realize that. Again check the economy on your server since it differs.
