Okay - all you novice crafters out there looking to make a few quick bucks (i.e. GOLD!).

Here's what ya do!

Make IRON STUDS, IRON SHEETS, and IRON SPIKES. They don't have to be pristine or even regular quality.

Put them for sale for 3-4 silver apiece and they will fly off your shelves. Trust me on this.

Higher level craftsman and sages need these materials for their craft.

P.S. If you are on the Nektutolus server I will buy a stack of the sheets and studs for 1 gold apiece!!!

Name is Amezed and I am in Qeynos.

All of those are Basic T2 recepies. You can make them if you scribed the relevent books, or if are of the right class and have your books.

All three of these items can be used by classes that can not make them. Of course if you scribed all the level 10 books then everyone can make them.

Look at what you can make, and what other classes need. You find several items in high demand. Spikes for example are primarly made by weaponsmiths at high levels and are needed by Jewelers.

Cross-crafting isnt that important from 1-20 but after 20 every class expect the Provisoner and Alchemist is heavily dependent on items made by other classes. Get to know your fellow crafters and strike deals, or your not going far in the game.

Which is what makes tradeskills in it's present form utterly SH*T.

I tradeskill because i want some time out from other plyers not so i have to spend hours with other people or waiting for them.

SoE dropped the ball here, tradeskills should be a enjoyable side part of the game not a pain that you don't every want to touch with a barge pole.

To put it into perspective; i took 2 charicters to GM <Jewelry + Pottery> in EQ1 with half the effort and pain that it has taken me to get 1 charicter to 20 in EQ2.

Ascendancy,

I no longer play EQ2 after the last patch. Sorry for getting your hopes up. My attention span can't handle the "extra" stuff and time that the crafters half to put up with.

Please feel free to chekc out my character "fourhorseman" on the World of Warcraft platform.

Have a nice day!

What I find interesting is SOE is attempting to create a society, and is doing it through crafting, not through adventuring. In EQ, once you hit a high level character (especially those of us who are Warriors in EQ) it is impossible to battle without aid...which is why I achieved such a high level of fletching. What I didn't enjoy in EQ was the gathering of materials in areas where I could die but couldn't gain experience.

EQ2 has turned that around. More areas are available for those solo adventurers, and the society is being formed around trades. Is everything perfect right now? Of course not, and there will continue to be tweaks (and market corrections -- I have gone from selling a lot of food at reasonable prices to finding a glut of food for sale now...drinks still sell well, but it has become silly to go through 4 or 5 steps to make food that lasts a long time in the field yet languishes on my store shelves).

So I change with the market, and adjust when SOE tweaks the game. So far, it works for me, though not for everyone, it seems. That is SOE's challenge: to live up to their vision of what EQ2 should be while still satisfying the needs and desires of customers.

Who knows? Maybe there will be an exodus back to EQ.
