I never craft for profit, mainly because i have never really found there to be much profit in doing so. I tend to try and match the craft to my class so that it is useful for me, as well as feeling more comfortable from a roleplay perspective (blacksmith wizard feels wierd). Its often a grind, particularly in EQ2 i found it to be so, but quite rewarding when you get there and you can help kit out guildmates. Its good to be in a guild where every craft is catered for. I was the tailor who's boots you filled as you know Yeti :) I have always enjoyed crafting in all games, and I like to be able to provide a services for guild mates.

Transferring from another MMO the crafting system was, compared to what I was used to, quite impressive. Being new to my guild I also wanted to contribute, or at least not exploit the helpful ppl in my new guild (I know now it would't be an issue, but I came from litteraly another culture, and needed to adapt). Theese days I must admit I can't really be bothered crafting, or rather, lvling a crafter. I'll ofc always make whatever is needed for the guild if able :) Initially I started crafting to be be able to make my own spells.

Then I wanted to make my own food and drink. Now I have more money though, I can see why people think it is easier just to commission spells from the suckers who can make them :) You can make money doing it, however the best way I found was to make the spells you are going to level into in advance and try and sell them for a nice profit on the broker, making them again for yourself up until the point you use them. After I joined a guild though, it was nice to be able to help other guild members with skills they needed. But hell, creating stacks of provisions shouldn't involve the pain that it does. I speak to people in-game who are their "guild provisioner" and boy do I feel sorry for them Originally I crafted in MMO before I was a guild member to be self-sufficient in the adept III abilities that I needed as I levelled.
