EverQuest Legends has nine general tradeskills, from forging plate armor to brewing ale. Each levels on its own recipes and most cap around 200. Pick a skill below for a full guide from 1 to the cap, with the fastest skill-up recipes and where to find the materials.
Cultural tradeskills (race-specific armor and weapons) are not covered here.
Every tradeskill combines ingredients in a station, a forge, oven, brew barrel, sewing kit, and so on, found near the matching merchants in most cities. Your Intelligence or Wisdom, whichever is higher, usually governs your chance to gain a skill point; Blacksmithing also counts Strength and Fletching also counts Dexterity. A failed combine keeps the container but loses the ingredients, so buy materials in bulk. Most skills cap at 200, and once you pass 200 in any one of them the rest are held there until you buy the Crafting Mastery alternate advancement.
Chasing the SoulFire and then the Torrid Corruptor? The crafting they need is Baking and Brewing. Bake one Edible Goo (Rat Ears plus a Fire Beetle Eye), and brew Bog Juice plus about 300 Tumpy Tonics (Kiola Nut plus Water Flask), so buy roughly 800 Kiola Nuts and 1000 Water Flasks at the Ocean of Tears docks first. Full paths are in the Baking guide and the Brewing guide.
Nine general tradeskills anyone can learn: Blacksmithing, Tailoring, Jewelcrafting, Fletching, Alchemy, Tinkering (Gnomes only), Pottery, Baking, and Brewing. There are also race-specific Cultural tradeskills for armor and weapons.
Most skills cap around 200. The catch is that once you pass 200 in any one tradeskill, the rest are held at 200 until you buy the Crafting Mastery alternate advancement.
Usually the higher of your Intelligence or Wisdom governs the chance to gain a skill point. Blacksmithing also counts Strength, and Fletching also counts Dexterity.
Pottery and Baking are the simplest, cheapest grinds. Blacksmithing and Tailoring are the most useful for making armor, and Jewelcrafting is strong for wearable stat gear.
