Just have a few questions regarding the manufacturing skills.:
Can you learn all of the blacksmith, tailor, craftsmanship and apothecary skills?
If so is it worth doing?
Are the skills worth learning at all?
And what do you get out of them?
Are different skills suited to different classes?
Are they mainly for making money or?

    Well first off yes, all classes can learn all crafting skills at once. As for usefulness it depends on the class, but all skills are useful in some way or another, especially apothecary. While it may save you money, it may also make you money depending on the crafting skill lvl and how you go about acquiring the mats.

    For Blacksmithing you can actually make your own weapons. As far as I know, which isn't very much, you can only make stuff you can buy from the store, the upside being you don't have to pay for it unless you buy the mats.

    Crafting you make your own jewelry. Rest is same as above.

    Tailoring you make your own armor. Rest same as above.

    Apothecary you can make various herbal healers and such. The best of note are some that add hp or mp recovery over time for 10 mins. The first hp one adds 50 hp recovery per second for ten minutes and one manufacturing gets you 5 pills. Same for the first MP one. There are various affects of the many items including instant chi recovery as well, easily making this the most desirable imo. The only draw back is that while most of the other materials can be bought from teh cash shop, no herbs are currently on sale so you have to actually go harvest them (but since they come in batches of 2-3 herbs per picking if you find a large amount in one area, such as outside the City of the Lost, it isn't hard to get the lvl one herbs you need)

    If you truly love someone you will never do anything to hurt them, and you will always be there for them, whether it is just as a shoulder to cry on, or much much more.

    blacksmith craft and tailor are all most useful at 60+ when the items you farm a special dungeon (twilight temple) and these are all standard powerful equips that people at those levels use, by then often in a faction you will have someone to help you manufacture them , at 60 the weapon is the only special item then at 70 armor and wep and the ornaments are much less popular

    1. Yes you can, but to level them all past level 4 is quite hard, cuz you have to craft 2-star equipment for a quest to level your craft.
    2. That depends on you. I personally think it's worth it.
    3. Aside from crafting the Legendary and Twilight Temple equipments, the equipment you craft may have extra benefits on them, like +MAG/VIT/STR/DEX, +HP/MP, etc. And there's a chance that what you craft will turn out to be a 2-star or 3-star. So crafted equipment can be much more powerful than what NPC sell and what monsters drop.
    4. It depends more on your character's build and what your guild and guildies are like.
    5. that would depend on you, whether you choose to use the equipment you craft, sell your crafts, or just sell the materials.

    A small question regarding Crafting.

    What's the best way for lvling crafting?
    Eg: Apo skill.

    Keep on making pots?? I heard there's a way that using something specific item/material can lvl the skill fast. Anyone care to share?

    iirc gaining lvl 4 in any of the craft skills requires lvl 50 (I think that is the correct #)

    Actually I have found the fastest way to level Apothecary is to use the stones gain from decomposing unwanted gear (or sub-optinum crafting results) to make the charms (MAtk, PAtk, Mres, Pres) Final craft tab for Apothecary.
    Simple fact is that the only way to level a craft skill is to make 10 finished products with that craft (Ammo does not count nor does Compound Mats ie Mats that are then used in a crafting process for Jewelry, weapons, armor)
    Perhaps the greatest secret to getting along with others lies in learning to respect their opinion(s) even while you disagree with them.

    I am level 4 on Tailor and Blacksmith, and level 3 on Craftsman and Apothecary... I am working towards maxing them all out.. However, my main goal is to get tailor and blacksmith maxed out first, so that I can make my own high level armor and weapon. I have already crafted most all of my own stuff.. It took a few times, but I had plenty of mats. Sometimes the item you craft does not come out very good, and other times, it comes out witha ll the stats you want... I would focus on what is most important to you, and then max out that skill first. Im just a material maniac, so I always have mass amounts of mats to use.
    Hope this helps.

    From what I've seen crafting is a waste of money. I almost always craft things that are worse than the npc equivalent.

    Rather just lvl apothecary which is free and does have some nice regen pots that save you money.

    Too often we loose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and slap that mother#$@%#^! upside the head.
