I have a question about whether or not race plays into skills in tradeskilling. I made a dwarf he is an armorer, ok normal no problem then I made an erudite he is an alchemist and with both of them I can make anything pristine and not have much trouble with max skills.
Then I make a barbarian craftsman and have so much trouble making food that I can't figure out what is going on. Is it a cultural thing barbarian/craftsman = bad or is cooking that much of a pain in the butt even with durability buffs. He is ok making crafted wood stuff but man does he suck on the stove.
