Hey I'm a new cleric to the game and was curious if anyone had any suggestions which crafting choice would be most beneficial to my class and why. Thanks.

    All of them are helpful. If you had to focus on one, I'd personally go with Tailoring -- getting extra sockets or buffs on armor can be very important -- but you can take all four, and doing so can be extremely helpful during the pre-50 range. After fifty it starts to be hard to level them all up at once, but it is possible, and you'll have a better feel of what is vital for your play-style.

    unfortunately with a cleric you do not have a lot of extra spirit points to spare at low level. I would just save all your crafting mob drops until you get to level 40 or 50 and then pick just one profession to start. I tend to prefer blacksmith because weapons are hard to come by but you get armor drops and quest rewards more often.

    It really too bad you can not use you heal skills more when leveling solo so unlike other classes you cannot just ignore one path until you are higher level.

    I think Apothcrathy ( or however you spell it! ). There's some really good potions you can make for Hp and Mp recovery.

    Thanks for the replies guys, they helped a lot. And ya i see what you mean about the spirit thing, already only at level 16 I have to be really choosy about what skills to purchase so it looks like I might not work on crafting for a bit.

    For a cleric Apoth seems like the best choice. If you need weapons and armor, you could always buy some at the blacksmith, tailor, etc. for relatively cheap. Keep in mind, you can keep farming materials still but things get a little tiresome when you are trying to level up your skills and your crafting ranks (as SP gets kind of thin after a while). I'm a veno in-game and I decided to only focus on blacksmith and tailoring at the moment but I expect that I will eventually level the others up a bit cause they are no doubt quite useful.
