I read on the VN crafting board where it was posted that if you leveled up the secondary crafting...woodworking, clothworking, leatherworking, and metalworking....instead of a tradeskill that you could get all four of the ones needed for salvaging and trinketing to at least 700 skill for really cheap. well, I am testing it out to see, and so far, it looks like it is right. And it is a LOT faster than skilling up in a tradeskill. The dings come much faster. I was just on for only an hour and got over 100 points in woodworking, putting it close to 500, and 220 points in leatherworking. Now, what craft has ever, ever, ever leveled up that fast?
I'm going to continue to test this out as I am planning on having my bd be a salvager. I understand they get a lot of loot while they are out and about, and I intend to make money off of it while I'm at it. I will probably also skill her up in siegecraft. I got Tudi to LGM in that for under 200g. crazy, when compared to the awful high amount it took me to get her lgm alc
Here is the post, copied from the VN board, put there by AngharadMacsen:
One relatively easy way:
1) raise all secondaries (clothworking, leatherworking, metalworking, woodworking) to 500 with trinkets. Should cost you 10g or so.
2) do arrows to 500. Should cost about 50g. That'll bring woodworking to about 1000, and metalworking to about 900, which will let you salvage all metal and wood items.
3) do tailoring to 200 on leather armour. cost 1g. Clothworking and leatherworking now 700.
4) do armourcrafting to 200. Clothworking and leatherworking are now 900 (and metalworking is now 1100). cost 1g.
At that point, you can salvage everything except hib RI, and you're done.
