Tradeskills and Harvesting - Day 3

Huehueteotl : Ding 10, and become a craftsman. Bought all the T1 junk alchemy stuff and grinded up the levels. Now he's ready to start working with wood.

But wood, for a craftsmen, is a bit more complex than other tradeskills. Every recipe (at level 10 anyway) requires a resin it seems, which will require either roots or wood, and with which he can make lumber and related products. Buying either of these raws is not a cheap process, so it's time to have him go out and gather around Antonica.

There's also the question of who will make the resins - my alchemist, or Huey ? I'm guessing it will be smarter actually to have Huey do it; although you save a fuel if I have Tez do it, Tez gets no XP for doing so. But Tez doesn't have to buy recipe books and it might be nice to have him do something positive with his alchemy for a change. Ahhh, I don't know. Need to gather first in any event.

Tezcatlipocca : Set a goal of gathering 500 T4 resources to work on his next level. Headed out to Zek after buying a dozen or so cheap items on the broker. Gathered two complete stacks, and maybe another 50 items in addition; rares gathered were a ruthenium cluster and a glimmering flower. Only ran into two orcs high enough level to aggro which made things easy.

One interesting result of the gathering (I skipped the bushes) was getting few herbs and large amounts of wood and metals. If I make resins and tempers, it might be smart to attempt to sell them on the broker; I have the empty space in my boxes which I should fill up anyway. Will definitely sell the roots though.

Despite mad gathering of traps, did not get that glimmering tooth I will definitely need for my alts.

Just to let you know.. resisns all take 1 fuel no matter who crafts them, be they alchemists or woodworkers.. they're a great way to make some exp if you use them on the crafting character, and when you hit those higher levels (granted before the LU comes in that changes it all) you'll like not having to relog to someone else to make those resins because your own skill is too low.
