I am doing herbalism and alchemy on other characters for pots but want to change it up. Is there somethlng thats specifically good for hunters in context of hardcore? Mining and engineering is right there in razor hill but open to whatever. Thank you!
Engineering can be fun and you can save money on guns and bullets. Bonus later is sending arcane crystals to your alchemists for transmutation $$$
Mining/Skinning
money is hard to come by when you’re starting out, so skinning generates a good amount of money just by vendoring leather scraps.
engineering is very expensive to level, triply so when you’re starting out and are very cash poor. so you can save the ores and bars that you gather, then once you’ve generated enough money (e.g. 100 gold for your fat-mount), you can drop skinning and pick up engineering.
This, or herb and skinning
Mining and skinning until you have 200 copper bars and 100 or so rough stone in inventory then drop skinning and take engineering.
Getting to engi 85 so you can make target dummies is pretty fast and easy.
Save the gems you collect, a few stacks of linen, a few stacks of light leather, and you’re good to go.
