CRAFTING I have divided the various trade skills into two main categories, which I'm calling Primary (or gathering) Skills and Secondary (or crafting) Skills. Primary Skills may be used to gather supplies needed for Secondary Skills. Mind you, these are just my definitions and shouldn't be considered absolute, and I'm just guessing how the different skills will interact, so if you disagree with me feel free to voice your opinion in the forums.
