Begin Harvesting at 20

Starting at Level 20 - Begin your harvesting quests

Although you cannot actually start crafting at level 20, progressing your harvesting skill will benefit you in the actual crafting process and allow you to build up your resources. There are 6 skills you may choose train in all or just some, depending on your desired crafting profession and guild needs; Miner, Prospector, Skinner, Weaver, Stonecutter, and Woodcutter.


Once you have left Tortage, you may travel to the trainers and begin your harvesting quests. I believe that after the July 18 patch, you may visit many of the wagoners and travel directly to these locations rather than traveling cross country. (Feel free to contact me, Seshafir for a guide)

Some general information about crafting

You will be given a crafting recipe book (found under abilities).

• As you train and complete each quest tier more recipes will be added to your recipe book.
  
• Crafting resources are stored separately in your backpack.
  
• Crafting in the lower tiers is not dependent upon standing in front of a crafting station. As I understand it, the higher tiered quests (level 70?) are dependent on the guild city and your related workshops tier (more to come as information is found and verified).
  
• Be aware, the trainers need to inspect your work once items are crafted. DON’T use the items until you have completed that portion of the quest and have had your trainer inspect your work. (This could be very costly, especially if you are an architect.)
