This is a guide written to help people within the game of perfectworld have an enjoyable experience while learning Trade skills within the game.
The first thing you need to begin crafting in perfectworld is to reach level 5. Until then you cannot craft any items period. You can begin gathering before level 5, but you will need the pickaxe bought at one of the merchants listed in this guide to begin doing so.
Once you reach level 5 you need to go see the Elder in your town. He will give you the following quests. The quests are the same for each of the starting towns, although the location of the Elder and the Merchants are different for each town. Look for the appropriate location for the town you are in.
For the City of the Lost - The Elder (246 649) For the City of Plume - The Elder (327 427) For the Town of Etherblade - The Elder (433 886)
This quest results in these 4 quests being offered Path of Apothecary Path Of Blacksmith Path Of Tailor Path Of Craftsman
Each of the previous 4 quests results in one of these corresponding quests offered. I suggest you accept each one and complete each one. You can learn all 4 skills and decide which to raise as you go along or raise them all. You are not restricted to only one or two.

Gathering Materials
Basically for these quests you must go out and gather materials. Now this is where some people have a hard time. Without knowledge of where to look for the materials and a good plan for getting the materials, most people really have a hard time with this. So I decided to present this guide to finding materials and gathering productively. Tool - Pickaxe
Ok, Gathering Materials means you must first Buy a Pickaxe. You can purchase a pickaxe at the following merchants. A pickaxe costs 2000 coins.
For the City of the Lost - Merchant Fu (261 636) For the City of Plume - Merchant Lo (327 436) For the Town of Etherblade - Merchant Mu (445 901) spawn
Now that you have a pickaxe you need to find the appropriate places to gather your raw materials. This is very frustrating unless you know how to do it. First of all let me say that all the raw material gathering resources de spawn after you use them 1 time. Now let me say that each resource spawns after a time in the same spot it was just at. So basically you need to make a list of the resource spawn locations for the materials you are trying to find. Requirement
For gathering materials each tier item has a level requirement to be able to gather them. Materials used to create lvl 1 and 2 items can be gathered by anyone tht has done the quests above. For the Lvl 3 items you must gather the next tier of items. These items cannot be gathered until your character is level 20. Crafting skill does not matter here. This is your characters level. There are other materials with higher level requirements, however this is a new players guide so we will leave those out for now. Coordinates Tracing
I will be posting some known spawn locations for you to use. Before I post the spawn locations I would like to show you how to use these location numbers. First I have heard some people say they cannot see arrows floating at the edge of their screen when they track quests. If you cannot you need to fix this. Anyhow if this next step does not show you arrows, then this trick will not help and you will just have to manually walk to the locations. The location numbers can be found on the mini map in the top right corner of your screen. If you cannot see the mini map, then you need to click the button in the top right corner of your screen.
Now for the next step. On your mini map there is an icon that when hovered over, it says coordinates assistant. click on this and you should get a box pops up that shows a list of location names in the left, and a set of coordinates in the input field for the right side. What you will do here is to add the coordinates for the type of material you are looking for in the input window, When you input them, Do NOT use a comma. Input it as ### ### then click enter, then type a name for it and hit enter. It should add a new entry with the name you typed in showing in the right hand box now.
Close the coordinates window by clicking the same button on the mini map that you used to open it. Now on your screen you should see a new arrow on the edge, That is guiding you to the location you inputted into the coordinates assistant. Follow that arrow till you get to the spot. When you get close. on the minimap, you will see a little colored circle on the ground, the same color as the arrow. thats your location spot where the harvest spot spawns. If it is there great, if not look around as these are not always 100% right on target. But they will be close (By close I mean no more than a 20 foot circle around the dot.)
Ok now you can add up to 5 coordinates to track at one time in the coordinate assistant. So that should help you find them. add 4 - 5 locations and run a pattern and if you time them right you will have no problem locating your materials for both the crafting quests and for the crafting itself.
Here is a link to show you a screenshot of how to use the Coordinates Tracking. Locations of Harvesting Materials Around The City of Plume
Ok now you got your materials and want to start crafting. so #1 finish the 4 quests by returning to the corresponding NPC, then each one will give you a book. Once you have all 4 books, go to the elder and choose the option learn manufacturing skill Click each skill and click yes to learn them. (Note the book must be in your inventory when you talk to the Elder)
Ok so now you are level 1 skilled in all 4 professions and want to craft, so what do you do. Well you goto your corresponding Craft type merchant (Tailor for tailoring, Blacksmith for Blacksmity, etc) and choose one of the following:
Now when the window opens, you pick the item you wish to make and you will see a list of the materials needed. They must be in your inventory in order to craft the item. Also note when you choose the item it will say under the list of ingredients (Requires whichever Skill 1 or 2, etc) That is the required skill you need to make the item. Since you are just starting out, make the skill level 1 items. As you make the items, there is a bar on the top right of the window that fills up as you make items. Once that fills up, you can then go see the Elder and train the skill to advance to the next skill level.
You can do this all the way up until skill level 3. Once you get skill level 3. You are stuck here until you obtain level 50 on your character. and once you do that, you will then be offered quests to advance to skill level 4 and beyond, just like you did for getting skill 1 unlocked.
