Okay, this has been bugging me for quite a while. My friend started a character, and decided that he liked the sound of crafting as a profession. Not one to hinder, I explained about clay, leather and the progression onto gold and silver. He worked on his character for a few days, then told me that he had mining level 20, and was going to make some silver, and work on holy amulets. However, he didn't realise he needed a smithing level of 20 just to smelt the silver bars. What I would like to see, is either something that can be crafted out of bronze. Or even a way to make a brass necklace, so that budding crafters have a good reason to work on their smithing level, because it isn't obvious until they reach level 20 mining, and then realise they need to do a whole lot of work that they can't use the end product, except to sell. I know that this will only apply to the "noobs" as some of you put it, but I still think it would be a good way to get more people into crafting early on, as it is a good trade to practise. Comments welcome.
