Returning player seeking crafting advice
Hello there! I'm a returning player who was last consistently active a few years back, with full +12 Schisma. I recently came back to TERA since two of my friends from real life began playing, but I was pretty taken aback because about 50% of my stuff said "no longer usable, sell to a merchant" lmao
Anyway, I already worked my way through the ilvl 431 and under dungeons and got full Frostmetal gear + Daylight accesory set, however I noticed that it's necessary to craft to enchant my Frostmetal armor. Apparently the Golden Darics require Artisan 500 to craft, but I honestly have never crafted even though I've been here since VM1. Usually only the highest gears (VM) had to be crafted and the armor/weapons dropped from the hardest dungeon were enough to clear everything anyway, so I never bothered. Now I'm just incredibly lost as to how to level my crafting all the way to Artisan 500 and how to optimize the gold spent while crafting.
Could experienced players please offer recommendations to level my crafting and recommendations concerning crafting in endgame? Thank you very much in advance (:

Armorcrafting allows you to make Silver Siglos, which are in turn used to upgrade your jewelry. Second most relevant skill.
Alchemy is used to make emeralds and diamonds, which are used to upgrade everything, but you don't actually need master alchemy until upper level stormcry, so as long as you're willing to shell out 1.1-1.2k per emerald then alchemy is pretty well worthless.
Etching is irrelevant entirely, as you just open up etching boxes for anything tier 4, or do island of dawn bams for anything tier 3. This skill is actually a huge waste of time, effort, and money.
To level what you plan to level, just look at what you have the level to make and check the skill level gain to see how many are necessary to progress to the next item.
