Is tradeskilling worth doing?

[Vilkata]

JC is a lot cheaper than you would think. As long as you do combines that aren't too far ahead of your skill lvl, failures are few and items can be sold for little less than the items used to make it. Tailoring on the other hand, cost me around 120k to make 228 on woodelf cultural considering that I had to buy almost everything from players.

Tailoring is the hardest just because of the mob drops necessary.

(I'm so sad wood elf cultural involves tailoring. WHYYYYYY)

Doh, just checked wiki... You need to make Thurg gate pot for shawl quest 4.
Used to make em on my Pally on live, didn't even realise they were part of shawl quests lol.

anyone know if and when the #6 and #7 shawl quest will get released on p99?

I would agree with everyone saying: Nooooooooooooo!

I, however, did not listen and started the blacksmithing skill. After spending 50p on getting my skill to where I can just make banded it was a little rewarding but not worth it at this time.

I plan on making some armor and trying to sell it to the Gfay area and will see what happens. I was probably better off saving that plat and buying my 9th and 14th level cleric spells though.

Buy tradeskill goods from people that already went through the expense of leveling the skill. Except maybe arrows from fletching. Even low tier arrows are much better than vendor garbage.

Baking rocks! Needs more frog recipes tho.

For new players, just starting off, some trade skills are more profitable than just selling raw mats. A new player selling leather padding will make quite a bit more plat than one selling silks and pelts. But cases like these are few and far between. Class/race based tradeskills and culturals can be profitable though. Like alchemy.

blacksmithing/pottery is also used in the spirit of garzicor quest, which results in a great monk/cleric/druid/shaman earring
