Crafting...need nexbie advice

[Gemina]

Once you unlock them in Idylshire, Custom Deliveries provide very quick crafter/gatherer leveling.
The problem with them is they are even more limited than levequests: you can only do at most 12 a week.
And unlike GC missions and levequests, you can't buy (or have someone else make) the turn-ins for Custom Deliveries.

I actually reserve custom deliveries for gatherers, which is why I did not mention them. But still a valid route if that is the person's preference. While I don't shun anyone who buys their turn-ins or has someone else craft them, I do kind of laugh at it considering they don't really require that much effort. Plus you also lose out on the exp for crafting it yourself.
