Hey all. I've currently got a level 23 ranger, and a level 14 warrior (who I play with my friend), a lot of stuff I want to buy, and hours of free time at work. I've spent quite a while reading all the forums started by other people with money problems. It seemed obvious to me, that I should start a tradeskill. I do have some money that I can invest at the beginning, though not much. And, I certainly have the time at work. (I'm a network administrator...I work 30mins a day and get paid for 6 hours) However, I have been very reluctant to do anything that may lead to killing my character if I have to minimize the window for a while (i.e. farming drops and harvesting). So, again, crafting seemed like the best solution.
Here's where I stand in terms of help needed: I've gotten to (level 3?) craftsman by doing that quest for Dreak on IoR, but nothing more. I don't know how to start, and was unable to find any tradeskill guides online. Do I need to get some of those books to get recepies, or do I just need to try things? Also, how do I get to a place to craft? I haven't been able to find one like the cellar on IoR. And, of course, I'd appreciate any suggestions for what class/subclass have been profitable in your opinion. If any of this is on another thread or website, you could just direct me there, and sorry for the unnecessary post.
Thanks for your help.
