Hello Ksenia,
8 Characters, that's impressive!
I see, so the plan would be to level the three gatherer on the Alt to avoid big costs. I'm having fun reading the story, I'll get both HW and SB unlocked so that should cover the master books and gathering nodes. I'm thinking maybe I can bring all three gatherer to 50 for a start and store whatever I farmed in my retainers, either to sell or use, then do a crafts or two to 50s. I read somewhere you can cross some skills so I'll research further once I start doing crafting. Thank you! I'm more confident about diving into crafting now
