Before I even ask my question I want to thank everyone who answers. I have learned so much from the posting on this site. I always feel comfortable asking for advise here. Ok, maybe once in a while I duck after I ask. But then isn't that just the way it is on any boards?
I have three characters that I play. Oddly enough they are all level 21 at the moment. I have a Magician who is a level 19 craftsman, a Bard who is a lvl 12 outfitter, and a Pally who is a lvl 7 artisan.
I really have a difficult time understanding the heirarchy of the trade skills. I thought that there were the three main trade skills, Scholar, Crafstman, and Outfitter. Through recipes I will declare a specialty. For instance, my Mage is most likely a provisioner because she spends all of her TS time making food for the other two. My Bard is headed into one of the subclass fields in the outfitter.
Where does this leave my Pally, the lvl 7 artisan? Is she locked into anything at this stage? Since I don't have a scholar I would like for her to head in this direction, possibly as a sage. I had intended for the Magician and then the Bard to become scholars. I somewhere took a wrong direction though. I don't want to do this a third time. How can I be certain to head her in the direction of the scholar?
I am aware of EQII and think it really lacks a lot of beginning information.
Thanks, Zoo
