Now that you have chosen your crafting profession, let's get you set up. To take on Age of Conan crafting profession you need to visit the crafting trainer for the profession of your choice. These trainers are located in the towns of special zones that are used for guild cities, resource gathering, and crafting needs.
In Alchemy, it hasn't been nearly as difficult to find what you need but it still can be a challenge due to the reduction of materials needed to craft. It is better for you to gather most items which are to kill human mages and healers who can be found usually in enemy camps within the tier you need. These guys drop a decent amount of caches that can be used from your inventory providing a plethora of much needed items including the occasional rare items.
In The Noble District, humans hit up the villas. For other ingredients you'll need maneating plants, crawlers, and demons all of which can be found in the resource zones or out in the adventuring world. Focusing on gather the caches rather than specific ingredients allows for you to gather more in a shorter amount of time.
Architect is not meant to be the average crafter class of choice. Don't even attempt at taking it on unless you are either supported by a guild or independently wealthy as the higher tier supplies are in excess of 1 aoc gold each.
Here staggering is the sheer volume of craftable items. The best thing you can do for yourself is to train in mining, prospecting, stonecutting, and weaving and progress these as soon as possible. Once you have the ability to gather whatever you could possibly need, crafting will be a breeze. The biggest problem you might run into is the gathering of silks and leathers. The silks drop from humans and the leather obviously drops from animals, both can be elusive!
Rough leather will drop off of "prey" animals. This was the biggest help in the early days of crafting armor! Prey runs away if you get too close so you will need ranged combat of any kind to kill these guys but they are very weak and drop in one hit for most players.
Gemcutting will be undergoing changes soon, though we aren't sure what exactly this will mean yet. Currently, crafting gems is largely a guessing game. When you cut any one gem, you will randomly get any one of several effects on the finished gem. This can be quite frustrating if you are trying to craft for a specific effect and only have a handful of preciously rare flawless gems. Gems drop off of any level appropriate human, so farm as much as you can and whenever you can to keep a stockpile.
Weaponsmith is the easiest and most straight forward of the crafting classes. You'll want to take on the harvesting skills: mining, prospecting, and woodcutting then save your rare because you will need those to make the higher quality blue weapons and they drop sparsely at best.
If you have a recipe book, it is to tell you how you craft more or less. If you have more than one profession, these will be shown as tabs on the left side of the book, clicking the tab will take you to the recipes for that particular craft. Your recipe book will list the things that you are able to craft within the current and previous tiers. Clicking on the item name will bring up a window that shows the recipe details and gives you the "Create" button that allows you to craft that item.
