U need to find the basic crafting room and talk to the NPC to get membership...

The basic books 3 to 9 are inside the craftingzone. But there are alot of DROP book u need when u want to make adept III spells. I am working on em.

I am missing: Artisan Refining Vol 4

Artisan Components Vol 5&6 (Its 1 book): dropping of ++badger in oak close a zone.

In the book Vol 5&6 is the Ink u need to make adept III spells, BUT in the book Refining Vol 4 is the recipe to make the dye u need before.

If i get more information whats missing for making adept III spells i will let ya know.

Please post what mob dropping Refining Vol 4 book except of Island of Refuge.

thanks

Well there are a couple different ways to do this, but here is my suggestion. Things have gotten a lot easier now that the pop rate on harvest nodes has increased so you shouldn't get too frustrated but here we go.

Try to decide what path you will progress in and work primarily on the basics of that skill.

You will have to gather up a lot of resources unless your rich, and even if you are crafting stuff from scratch leads to better quality items and therefore usefull things quicker.

Now me, I basically run around a newb zone and forage/forest/mine/fish everything in site, you will need the skills later. You need like 40+ to farm in the tier 2 zones (antonica) so do this alot and carry as many bags as you can.

Take these items back to your local wholesale crafting guild (only one you can get in) and start making rawhide leather or tin bars, or planed wood etc. You will need all these items for later recipes. While you working on making items you may find useful, (backpacks, adept 3 scrolls), you will level up fast. Again I strongly recommend harvesting as much of the resources you can because you will need these skills as high as possible.

One other thing I didnt realise till later. EQ2's crafting system is much like combat, and HO's. Its not boring, begin item, pray, repeat. Most of the time you will end up with something. Sometimes you dont. Anyhow Im diverting. You have CRAFTING SKILLS such as you do combat skills, when your crafting and a little icon pops up that says "Major flavor loss" or "Split seam" find the appropriate icon, click it. and you can progress faster and better, if you dont you can take damage and it will ruin your items faster from my experience.

Again
1. Harvest
2. Craft basics
3. Craft Useful things
Rinse repeat
You will be level 10 before ya know it... from there? ... we'll see.
