I have been gone from EQ2 for a very long time, and just came back. Only issue, is that I cannot find how to start using tradeskills. I left the isle of refuge without starting them, since I did not see the starting quest for it in it's usual place (maybe it was just changed). I have found the Artisan Essentials vol. 2 book for sale, but I dont have any recipes at all to get to level 2. Am I stuck without being able to tradeskill, or am I missing the way that I can get my beginner recipes? Any help is greatly appreciated!
As a side note, I am really liking all the changes to the game! I am glad I came back!
