Inability to Manufacture - LVL not there!

Joccey - Sanctuary

So for all my Crafts - Blacksmith, Craftsman, and Tailor (haven't gotten Apothecary yet) they are lvl 1 manufacturing from the time I got them. I decided I wanted to try out, so I went to the City of the Lost Tailor and hit manufacture "equipment", there was no lvl 1 equipment so the lvl 2 (and higher) equipment start button was blanked out. I went to the Blacksmiths, same issue, the Craftsman. So I thought it could be City of the Lost problem, headed to City of Plume, again tried to manufacture and there was no lvl 1 equipment listed, yet that is the equipment lvl that I need. This is the same for my lvl 5 (lvl 1 crafts person) barbarian Mustame. The problem is with my Venomancer Joccey, lvl 32 - please help as I've tried everything I can think of. Hit the GM button in game today and got no reply, I really would like some help!

I posted this in the "The Crafting Nook" so if this is the wrong area, I just wanted my answer because it's driving me insane.

Joccey!
