EverQuest 2 Tradeskill Leveling Timeline Guide

EverQuest 2 Tradeskill Leveling Timeline Guide by Zehl

After 6 Epic crafters, I am really organized with my sytem. I am adamant about not wasting raws, vitality or time, so I try to be as efficient as possible. For more details on quests my favorite places are eq2traders, allakazam & wikia. Check the broker to see what the harvesting tools look like, and see the stickied tradeskill gear & racial traits thread.

I used to not do not fisrt pristines without vitality, but city TS writs still give 6-10% XP and are not dependant on vitality. It really doesn’t matter if you have vitality anymore.

Basic Tradeskill Timeline by Unrest.Zehl / Unrest.Katayira

When possible during TS leveling:
max all harvest skills
max swimming

For 70+ adventuerer, at each 10 levels pick up the Journeyman’s service quest, go harvest that
tier of the harvest cloak quest, and do a hungry halfling quest at the same time. Sadly, lower level
adventurers will have a very hard time completing the harvesting cloak quest. You may just want to do the harvest cloak in one shot first thing, which will give you a nice starting bunch of raws/rares for each tier, and some to sell on the market.
