Hello all!!
 
I've just started playing and I'm really enjoying the game (shame is desert..), can anyone tell me how to level up my tradeskills? I have Technologist and Relic Hunter, I have all the xp needed to level up but where phisically I have to go\talk to advance in the tradeskill paths?
 
Thanks, cheers^^

You gain experience by crafting (technologist) or harvesting (relic hunter)  IIRC relic hunter just requires harvesting relic nodes.  For technologist use the crafting stations in the north part of Thayd (Academy Corner) or the zones' main camps/towns.  As a technologist, harvest every plant you can find.  If you are in Celestion there are stations in the Sylvan Glade, If you are in Algoroc the stations are in Gallow assuming you are in the Exile faction.
 
The crafting skills automatically level up when you complete enough of the various items within the craft level (and have enough xp).  The system announces that you have unlocked the next level of crafting.

I think I ran into the same trouble early on with technologist.  It wasn't really clear what was required.  When you go to the crafting station open up the crafting screen, click on the Tech Tree tab at the top (Schematic, Tech Tree, Talents).  Assuming you are novice technologist - notice the boxes there.  Each box has the item that can be crafted and two numbers (#/#).  The first number is how many of those items you have crafted and the second number is how many you need to complete that achievement (and unlock the follow-on boxes - if any).  Work your way through unlocking those boxes.
 
The best way is to do the crafting dailies along with working your way through those box unlocks.  That way it is possible to get double credit - crafting xp and box unlocks.  You will need those crafting credits when you get to expert research when you need to buy formulas.
 
As you go, don't forget to apply any talent points you get under the talents tab.
 
I did not use all the stuff I crafted and ended up vendoring most of it except for a few boosts, gadgets, and meds.

You mean I have to make all of those "boxes"?
 
That could be but what about Relic Hunting? I'm 1199/1200 and I cant harvest nothing more then the first node :(
 
Maybe I've found out my problem...could be that I've bought the game a few days ago, and instead of activating my free month I activate the 10 days free trial (it was not very clear in the account page :p), so far I was able to play all good, but I could not make any bids due to the free trial...maybe is that?
 
Cheers^^

I'm not 100 percent sure but either my relic hunter or survivalist had to gain levels before they could harvest some higher level nodes.  I can't remember since both have been level 50 for a while.
 
No, you do not have to complete every box.  In fact some boxes you will not be able to complete until you find (or buy) the formulas.  But most you will be able to do and that will help you gain levels - novice -->journeyman --> etc. in technology.

Right, that is my problem!
 
Both profession are 1xp far from the next level, and if I keep crafting\gathering is no use, usually in this kind of games you have to talk\pay someone to teach you how to craft\harvest higher level stuff, but even googling it I have found nothing :(
 
So is what I've said? It's becouse of the free trial? I will wait a few days when it ends to start the "full" game experience, I will probably level up instantly when I log in as you said xD
 
Thanks for the info, maybe see you in game!
 
Cheers^^

			You have to level up your character more before you can progress in the trade skills. And the only thing you will have to buy is the next level of harvest tool.
