OK, thank you very much... I had not checked in the mainland tradeskill instances because so far, this is my 1st foray into the tradeskills. I have 4 characters which are all adventurers, and wanted to try the tradeskilling. I found the whole idea boring in EQ1, but since the new version is more reactive, I actually find it enjoyable. Now I would like to make stuff I can actually use, besides boxes and furniture. I have actually left the island with the above character, so will check the tradeskill houses soon. Thanks for all the advice.
