Is there a guide for professions? Most of it seems fairly pointless and the long time periods for some (18 hours?!) seem ridiculous.
Is there a list of things you can make? Is it worth making it? Is there any sort of synergy?
This forum is so screwed up with no class/profession breakouts it's impossible to find anything

And yeah some of the stuff takes ages so sent it off crafting when your going to work or bed or something for best effect.
edit - the 6 hour one (retardedly long time to be honest. PLEASE lower it to 2-3 hours. 6 is just ridiculous.) is something you do oevrnight for extra exp. Terrible scaling for whatever reason - at first I thought it was a typo. 10 minute = 5 exp, 2 plates. 6 hour = 50 exp, 8 plates. That's the exp of 1 hour 40 minutes and the items of 40 minutes of crafting. Taking 6 hours is just wtf. I want to fire the guy working because he's being so **** lazy just wasting over 4 hours sitting there probably watching old reruns of pokemon.
Guide for profession:
Step 1) Make a female that is not dwarven or half orc, and adjust the sliders until she is as cute as you can get it.
Step 2) Get through the tutorial until you get to Protector's Enclave.
Step 3) Remove all your characters clothes.
Step 4) Stand on street corner.
Step 5) Count all the money and items you get from players.

5 min with a search engine will find you a wiki page or something with all the stuff that can be made. But the 10 cent guide is so simple. Here...
There are 3 types of professions currently: armor crafter, alchemy (potion crafter), and leadership. Additional professions are coming including weapon crafting BUT that sounds like you have to raid to get the materials to make good gear (???). Not sure yet.
armor crafting makes some decent quality gear but not top quality. So it is of dubious value at 60 if you can afford or earn top quality gear. The ONE thing you can make that is the best item in its slot are the shirts and pants. However, 10000000000000 other people are making shirts and pants so it is not terribly profitable (its profitable, just a large supply and a modest demand, do the math).
alchemy levels up fast (about 2 weeks to 20) and produces some neat potions and a few boring clothing dye packs. You can also use it to produce some rare crafting materials, but most of those are so common as to make this pointless. The potions are the best healing and buffs you can get though, and it is worth it if you want the best potions or a lot of them.
leadership generates gold and diamonds and crafting materials and other random loot items sometimes (node kits, runes, other junk). It is the slowest to level up, however after a while you can make about 125 or more diamonds per hour per slot. At 9 slots... its a pretty good diamond income after about level 15 or so and with blue or better workers.
For all professions, you can do the tasks faster with green, blue, and purple workers. Those come from the profession boxes in the zen store or you can buy off the AH. You get one of these free in the graveyard zone at level 25 roughly. Also you need tools. You must have at least 1 purple quality tool and 3 blue quality tools to have a small (12% I think) chance to get a tier 3 result (best result from making something). Purple tools are worth over 1/2 a million diamonds, and blue are as much as 1/4 million each. Getting enough tools to make the shirts and pants, then, is a hefty investment. You can live without the tools for leadership and alchemy (alchemy it helps but is not really critical).
You can do everything in all professions (apart from rare ingredient needs) with just vendor materials, gather and process tasks, and vendor tools, with the "white" quality workers that can be made as a task. But without tools and workers, it will be slower and you will never get the best results.
The gem bags only seem to come from the zen store boxes. You can get them on the AH of course. I am not aware that anything requires these.... but I do not make armor so maybe so. Only use I knew of for them was a sack of free materials.
thanks i found it
