Hi there! For anyone here who doesn't know me, my name's Reasa Goldenbrook, and I'm a [[Cleric]] of [[deliar|The Merchant of Fate]]. In addition to my clerical duties, I craft on the side, and I've been getting questions about how one might get started in the trades.

Most people will start their crafting careers in Center - which is a fine town, though no comparison to Port Hempstead. There, you'll find most of the basic requirements for a career in crafting - though some specialized craftspeople may have to look a little farther afield. On a map of the town, you'll see the Craft Hall clearly marked. Inside, you'll find the machines on which crafting takes place - and a crafting merchant, who will sell you most everything you'll need as a tradesperson (and a few things you don't!)

Some crafts are harder to do than others or are limited to certain types of people. For example, Infusing requires having experience crafting gems (or knowing someone that does!) Bards are the only people with the training to build musical instruments. Scribing is only the domain of those whose deity or skill with magic allows them to cast spells on their own - and so forth.
