Wholesalers Quests and Crafting QuestionsFollow

Most likely you got stuck like me having to gather tier 2 stuff which can only be gathered in antonica when your gathering or whatever skill you are trying to use is above level 50. As for buying stuff you can not buy the gathered stuff but the rest of it you should be able to buy down stairs at the vender there. The wholesaler will not sell anything to me. I dont know if that will change when you gain status.

Most likely it is the second part. I have not seen a vendor that sells any raw products so you will need to go harvesting for the items you need. If you are trying to make any refined items you need to go harvesting or pay the outrageous prices to the people selling the stuff. I myself will not even buy the refined stuff they have because it is not prestine. If you do not craft with pristine for the main ingredient it is impossible to craft a pristine item.

You need a skill of 40 to harvest tier II materials, and 70 I think for tier III.

Gathering: roots(tier 1), tubar(tier 2).
herbs(too many to list!)

Logging: elm(tier 1), unknown(tier 2)

Mining: lead, tin, malachite(tier 1), iron, electrum, tourqoise(tier 2)

Trapping: rats(tier 1), armadillos(tier 2);

That's a simple list of resources, at least around freeport.

I've done heavy crafting, so feel free to ask more questions.

Roots give roots the gardens give loads of stuff. I just gave up on the gardens cuz they fill my inventory with junk and other people can probobly use it. As for more spawn locations i think its pretty much the same from what ive seen if just matters how many people you have harvesting in that zone.

yeah just keep farming stuff and eventually ull get the things u need.

raw materials fer example tin clusters cant be bought from vendor. There is 3ways to get them

1) farm them yerself

2) use a broker to search for what other players are selling.

3) get the market board from a furniture shop put it in yer house and see if any1 is selling the stuff u need then go round there place and buy it.

For the low level stuff, your primary ingredients are harvested. Don't waste time on crafting quests. You'll need 2 things early on for crafting: 1. Money 2. Bags. Make your crafting revolve around those two things early on cause you can go broke really fast if you aren't careful. You need the bags so you can collect stuff and not have to run to town every 2 seconds.

Here is stuff you need to make bags:
1. Tin (from rocks)
2. Pelts (from dens)
3. roots and plain plants

Focus on collecting those things. To skill up, you can make tin bars and tin buckles. You can also make chloro oil, chloro wash and chloro resin (I think those are the 3 you need for bags). That stuff is all ok if you don't get pristines, so good for leveling.

Hold on to your pelts for as long as possible, if you have to use some, turn them into rawhide cords and save those. When you are ready to start making bags, they require 1 rawhide cord, 1 tin buckle and 1 rawhide something-or-other (can't remember the name lol). That last thing needs to be as high a quality as possible, so make those last.

I have no idea if you are evil or good. If you are evil go to the sunken city and collect resources there then zone over to graveyard and collect there. Keep doing that back and forth.

In quenos area there are 2 different types of rocks. The blemished ore which gives tin and the unearthed rocks which give the malgachite (Sp) and lead.

Sweet. I got my first gold from selling stuff yesterday, so I have plenty of starting cash.

I'll see what I can do tonight.

Thanks for all the information everyone.

To get recipes you must buy them.

On the refuge island, the main supplier dwarf has them.

In the real game, there is a merchant in each society that sells the appropriate recipe scrolls.

Just stay away from furniture if you are trying to make money initially. Whew! I was crafting with Elm and was able to successfully craft beds and bookcases but the resale to merchants is atrocious... 8cp. Chairs are a little better, able to sell those for 75cp. That doesn't even recoup your losses. Anyway, furniture crafting is a wee bit expensive initially, but when you increase you fletching and sculpting abilities it begins to slowly payoff.

Good stuff, thanks for all the info! Hopefully I wont get left behind in crafting like I did in FFXI!
