Are you wondering why to even start crafting? Sounds like a long boring process with
little to no reward? Well crafting may not be for everyone, some players who are really
devoted to their particular class may want to pick up a tradeskill class to complement it. A
fighter or scout might choose alchemy or a mage might choose sage or tailoring, but some
classes might look to woodworking for something different.
Crafting can be a good way of earning money, and making friends in the process. The
crafting channels can provide a plethora of information about not just tradeskilling, but the
game in general. Most servers have an established crafting community and love talking to
other crafters while you are all down in ‘the hole.’
When you open the recipe window (the hotkey is B), you’ll notice a lot of different recipes,
and as you level up you’ll get over a thousand recipes. To find what you are looking for
when looking up a recipe can be quite overwhelming. Luckily the interface has a filter that
can be extremely helpful. Let’s say someone asks for the different common imbued
weapons you can make for a level 25. It’s as simple as opening the recipe window, click
on the Edit button in the top right corner, scroll to the bottom to recipe books, and scroll
through the list for Wand, Bow, and Cudgel Imbuing Volume 2, click it, and click Ok and
the recipe book will only show what was in that one recipe book. If you want to select
multiple recipe books, just hold down the control key while you click.
