Hello everyone,
I like to play as a melee character. I am currently trying to figure out wich professions I'd like to focus on before having to backtrack only to gather the materials needed to lvl both gathering and crafting professions.
--FOOD--
At lvl 13, I am starting to have to heal after a couple of mobs, or if I pull 2 or more each fight. As I have experienced all the professions, I know that the gathering and processing of materials can take quite some time, so I would like to have some feedback from higher lvl players on wich professions that I should stick to considering food.
Cooking is nice because it give buffs. But I either need Farming/Fishing or Farming/Skinning to gather the materials for the various recipes. Farming also requires a farm, so I canno't gather while questing.
Alchemy is nice because I can heal during batlles (wich can be a life saver). This means less downtime, and I only seem to need Foraging. I get no buffs from food, but the gathered food heals a lot more than the cooked one (at least at my lvl if I compare Red Apples to let's say, Trout).
--GEAR--
I currently only lvl Armorsmithing but I wonder if it would be better just to lvl Weaponsmithing (or just foregoing both of them) . While the gear is good, lvling the professions takes a lot of time, and by the time I get to the required lvl for a certain item, I have better gear from quest or dungeon relics.
Thanks in advance for your tips and tricks!
My character's name is Bestandan if you want to talk in-game.
