At this point in the expansions life... no tradeskills are extremely lucrative.
Alchemy is probably the most consistent because potions continually get consumed, even if on accident when someone was intending to recharge their potion.
Baking, Brewing, Pottery, Fletching are all useless until Luclin launches. Make Poison is useless beyond the Mind Melt used in Ring 9, until around SoF/SoD era when rogue poisons became boss.
Jewelcrafting is semi-consistent but there are way too many JCers already and the profits are extremely small. It was a good TS very early on in P99 history or shortly after Velious launch with BD jewelry coming in.
Tailoring is useful early in Velious but at this point I don't think you would make back the money you put in maxing it. Halfling or Wood Elves get the easiest combines.
Smithing is useful for Dwarf, High Elf and Dark Elf cultural, until Luclin when Human is the most valuable. Dwarf classic cultural is the strongest of all of the sets but with Velious quest gear available, it's not as good as it used to be. High Elf and Dark Elf are both fairly narrow class interest sets. Bard/Paladin for HIE/WE and Cleric for DE basically. I'd say Dwarf but again, not that lucrative.
Classic-Velious, tradeskills are quite useless as a means to make money unless you get in early on the servers life and are one of few tradeskillers. Classic Enchanters who did JC, Cultural Blacksmiths before the correct rare gem enchanting reagent patch went in and Velious max Tailors made bank. At this point on P99 you're just going to sink money into a pit and take forever to recover it.
However once Luclin launches consider Pottery. Golden Idols provide excellent tradeable ranges for all classes, Faithstones and Spiritstones offer home teleports for Clerics and Shamans, Opal Encrusted Steins sell moderately okay to Enchanters and Mules, Ceramic Bands sell great to pet classes who need a single point of Damage for full EXP and the Solstice Earring has two of nine pieces requiring pottery, which every caster will want basically.
