Bare Bones: A guide to Bonecrafting

Crafting is a great way to make money but also a huge investment and commitment. Before committing to any craft do your research, think it through and most importantly stick with it. There are no shortcuts and you will have to level several.

I love crafting and have leveled several. Like the pack rat I am I also kept all my notes! I'll let you peak but you do your tests on your own!

The bone workers guild in Windurst Woods is open from 8:00 to 23:00 and is closed on Windsday. Peshi Yohnts is the resident Guild Master.

A few quick tips:

Pick a craft based where you live or a city that you frequent. This will make you more motivated to hand in your test items or check the daily guild item.
Check your guild point item every day! There is nothing worse then being hard up for points and the item of the day is something costly to make. Checking every day will allow you to pick and choose the items you want to turn in. Take advantage of single recipe and cheap requested items. You may need to turn in more but bone hairpins beat scorpion masks any day!
Take advantage of experience points party locals and prey. Leveling off beetles, for example, your bound to get some drops. You can work these into your recipes and save both time and money.
Don't just farm or just buy all of your items. Time is money, don't waste it on farming up all of your ingredients. At the same time there are some items that are greatly inflated. Balance the cost vs. the loss of buying and decide which is best. There are many suggestions in the following guide but don't be afraid to check vs. your servers present economy.
