How come everyone is saying you need coral or whatever to attain higher combat skills? i bought my second set off a trainer and i am curious how you find more. Also I have no idea how to gain level in crafting right now i am a level 3 crafter 17 predator currently doing betryal. on that note are all the spawn locations right in the guides on the web?
I'm gonna take your comments in reverse order...
No site, (IMHO), is 100% correct. You are likely to find some level of misinformation on any site you read.
This is because some of the data on those sites is from the beta version of the game and has since changed. Other information can be wrong because even after launch, EQ2 has remained in a state of evolution and many details have ben altered or upgraded. And finally, sometimes things go wrong and data is incorrect. But on balance, I think that the sites that are reporting on this game do a terrific job.
Regarding how you continue to progress as a crafter, you just have to keep doing it! Keep making the recipes in your list and everytime you level, buy the new book for more new recipes. Make those and keep moving forward.
Eventually, you will reach level 9 and you can choose how you would like to narrow down your area of expertise. At level 19, you will make another choice and pick your final trade. BTW - you'll probably want to wait till you're done with the betrayal quest to continue with your crafting. You probably have enough on your plate right now just changing sides!
Regarding improving your skills, what you bought from the trainer were app 2 skills. You can further improve these to app 4 or even adept 1 level of quality. App 4 skills are player made and can be bought at the broker. Adept 1 skills are mob dropped and can either be aquired as treasure from the mobs you kill or purchased fom other players, (also through the broker).
And finally, the coral that you have heard about is a rare foraged item that can be used by a crafter to make the adept 3 level spell upgrades. These tend to be very expensive since they can only be made with a rare harvest, but they are also very powerful upgrades to your skills. Like the app 4 and adept 1 spells, they can be purchased from other players through the broker.

Thanks a bunch very helpful. one more question: What is the crafting class you have to choose to be able to scribe skill increases?
I'll add that I've found its a waste of time trying to make your APP III/APP IV spell/skill upgrades before hitting 10th level artisan. Why? At level 10, you get replacements for your old reactions that let you "heal" the durability of whatever you're working on, even without waiting for some icon to show. This lets you make pristine isonoid reagent, needed to make pristine sepia dye, which is needed to make pristine sepia dye, which is mandatory to make a tier I (levels 1 through 9) spell or attack skill. Its a major pain, but just get to level 9.999 and you're about an hour from having your spells.
I've found the easiest way to level up as an artisan is to go fishing, fish several stacks of everything, then buy walnut kindling (1 copper each) and packets of spices (1 copper each), now bake all your caught fish, and make jerky out of the sunfish steaks as well. That will get you to 9.999 level artisan.
Now go to Qeynos Harbor, and follow the harbor to the carpenters. In the corner hail Albert Ironforge, and declare your intention to be a scholar. Or have one of your alternates do so, to make spells and trade them by your shared bank. Same thing.
Now go make anything at all, even bake another fish, you NOW ding to 10. Press the K key to open your knowledge icons and click tradeskills. You'll need to go to the last pages (pages 3 and 4) of this list and put the orange icons onto a an open bar of hotkeys. To do THAT, you move your mouse over the bar of hot keys you now have, right-click on a corner, and find the selection "open a new hotbar". A blank one opens, you drag it someplace, shape it into a 6 column by 2 row rectangle, now you can move it off your field of view and tuck it in the space between the bottom of your screen and your eyesight. You're going to use this alot. You can define 6 or so banks of hotkeys like this, although I think you can only have 4 banks showing at a time. I use 3, its all that fits conmfortably at 1024x768 resolution, and it lets me do all my crafting.
Enjoy

At tradeskill lvl 10 you go scholar; at 20, if you want to keep making scout combat art upgrades, you go jeweler. (Alchemists make fighter upgrades; sages make mage/priest upgrades.)
