All Kill3r November 10, 2004 Share All Kill3r Member November 10, 2004 What do you guys think. For a PvP only char are tradeskills really necessary or are they just in the game for the people that are interested in that kind of thing ? Here's my reason. I've put atleast 5 hours into my tradeskill's, atleast. And it's not paying off in the least bit when it come's to combat. So what's up ? Why do one ? Tell me about what you guys are doing, herbalism/alchemy thus far sucks. I run around and collect herbs, im up to like 8 kinds of herbs and about 10 potions i can make. Anything from mana potions, health potions, whatever. Anyway, i can summon 15mana potions for 150 mana, so why waste reagents and a lot of time doing herbalism. I can eat mushrooms for 500hp in a few seconds with no cooldown, opposed to a minor heal or lesser heal potion... boo ! The only upside is the potions are instant and the other stuff you gotta sit, but i loot enough potions and everything since all i do is farm for my XP. And vendor's sell this stuff so i just stock up, lemme get a pic. Am i missing why i should craft ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiralstairs November 10, 2004 Share spiralstairs Member November 10, 2004 well, i havent been puttin too much into my tradeskills. i took up tailoring and mining, i believe. for tailoring, im tryin to get to the point of being able to make bags cuz those are handy and people pay like 4 silver for them. so i could imagine that being handy at least for a low lvl player with not much moola. and for mining, if i see a copper vein while im about ill just mine it and then sell the stuff. i think you can take it and make gold, or copper bars but i havent been able to figure that out. again, my motives for both of tradeskills is purely for gold. i dont think theyre reallly useful for combat or nothin.

All Kill3r November 15, 2004 Author Share All Kill3r Member November 15, 2004 I know you can undo talent points, i don't THINK you can undo tradeskills though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brillow_Head November 15, 2004 Share Brillow_Head Member November 15, 2004 I think you can undo them...either your trainer can unlearn you (like your proffesion teacher) or when you have 2 trade skills and request a 3rd it might have you disregard a previous one to make room. Give it a try... on another subject I got sick of being 112 in line to get on the server so I started an alliance character on central Test 42. I'm still gonna play my undead when and if I can ever log on to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xterminator November 15, 2004 Share Xterminator Member November 15, 2004 lets make a choice on next round, what we're gonna be and where we're gonna play. Should we all focus on 1 t ype of character that way we're all in the same area and we can group? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Kill3r November 15, 2004 Author Share All Kill3r Member November 15, 2004 (edited) Exile said he's gonna start a guild on a PvP server for retail. As long as we are all alliance or horde we can group. The big blimps are pretty handy for traveling from continent to continent.

spiralstairs November 15, 2004 Share spiralstairs Member November 15, 2004 (edited) well, a couple of my friends got hooked on this game when i showed it to them, and they wanna be alliance, so i'll most likely have a character to play with them. most likely a paladin. but if you guys are gonna be horde, i'll make another character to play with y'all. i will be on the PvP server most definitely. i had my first PvP yesterday! it was fun. i was just minding my business in Westfall, killin some boars, then I see a dwarf fighting a Troll and i tried to help em out but we both got killed. it was fun stuff.

Xterminator November 16, 2004 Share Xterminator Member November 16, 2004 i'm up for whatever the group is up for. That way we can decide on what to be and balance out skills between eachother to save money . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xterminator November 17, 2004 Share Xterminator Member November 17, 2004 i figured out how to unlearn a skill. Simply push "k" to bring up your skills screen. Then click on the skill you wanna get rid of and unlearn it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eXile November 21, 2004 Share eXile Member November 21, 2004 tradeskills do indeed pay off my rogue is maxed herbalism/alchemy and some of the potions i could make i would easily sell at the auction house for 1-2 gold. and as far as the health/mana pots vs mage summon stuff. well you cant use food/water in combat you can use pots in combat they are a lifesaver especially for people who cant heal themselves with a spell of some sort. so its a great tradeskill for say rogue warlock something of that nature. my paladin which i ended up getting to 34 even though he was an alt was a blacksmith/miner. some of the stuff i could make just blew away what i could buy/find. and some of it was sucky but at higher lvls a blacksmith can make serious bank i mean some items could bring 50 gold or so. i was at the expert lvl of blacksmithing so i could make quite a bit of items which brought anywhere from 20silver all the way to 7 gold for an armor i could make. this game really opens up past lvl 20 or so just stick with tradeskills they will pay off especially at higher lvls. every skill is usefull to nothing really sucks. just pick what you think you would use the most yourself or what you could make the most money at and use yourself and watch the gold rack up. and lastly you could easily unlearn a main profession such as blacksmithing mining etc. all you had to do is bring up your char screen go to skills then the bar that showed the skill there would be a small circle with a slash through at the end of the bar, you had to click on that to unlearn the skill.
