Hi there!
I have two questions as the Title say.
Question 1: First I have a question about Manufacture, what i have read some people level every manufacture skills Blacksmith/apothecary/Crafting and Tailor. But i wounder what is best, if you level up one skill you can become really high in that skill, but if you level up all skills you can do more things but still you level slower in each one!, i need i little help with my choice, what do you guys recommend and why?

Question 2: And my second question is about wizard skills, i am a little bit new to this game so you know :). But i just found out how to level up the skills, that you have to visit a wizard trainer, i leveled up the pyrogram skill to level 2, and the gushskill level 1 and level 2. But i still have Spirit points left, but i cant level up those skills anymore at the wizard trainer in etherblade. So the question is if you have to visit different Wizard's to level up different levels in each skills? or how does it work?

/ Thanks for replys

    Wizard.
    You have to wait till appropriate level to level up again. And every trainer is the same regardless of place. Except sage/demons trainers, but for these you have 89levels time.

    This is dependent from your style of game.

    If you play solo (as my character), then you must maximize all your skills.

    In other case you will be dependent from faction's craftsmen, tailors, smiths ...

    The only thing stopping you levelling up all your manufacture skills is that some of them share materials.

    That means that, as a minimum, you should level up apothecary and one of the others - since nothing except apothecary uses herbs.

    In the skill tree, when you mouse over a skill, it will tell you when you are first able to gain that skill, at what levels you can increase it, and what the prerequisite skill is (you need lvl 1 of each skill, but need lvl 5 Wellspring Quaff to to the next higher skill - which is one you want). As a wizard, you do not need every skill to be effective. It is better to have high level 'staple' skills, than only level 2 or 3 of each skill. Reading the various wizard guides on the forum will help you decide which skills to level up, and which ones are not as good.

    A word on manufacturing, I chose to level up Tailor, because I have five Tailor slots in my wardrobe, rather than only one weapon. I suppose you have 4 slots for jewelry, so that might be a good choice also. At the higher levels, the items I make are much better than what I had from quests. Mob drops equipment, but often time they are heavy gear, which I don't have the strength for (being a LA wiz).

    Crafting mats can be farmed/harvested from mobs, but don't wait to level it up. As a high level character, a level 19 mob will not drop the purified oil for you (very often if at all), however if you are level 20, it will drop. Visit your Tailor/Craftsman/Blacksmith, and find out what supplies you will need for various levels and make a list. You can add cupboard slots to your banker which is a big help. As you do your quests, save the items needed for future items.

    I don't think you need more than one skill. You will find a Guild at some point where others have complimentary skills and you can trade items, etc.
