Haephesta of the Artisan’s Consortium, who is on the platform where you learn Dragonriding near the Ruby Shrine, offers you a go-see quest to introduce you to the new profession concepts and the NPCs who can help you with them.
She also offers a skip if you are on an alt.
The skip does save you one, fairly easy for an alt that can Dragonride, real quest where you kill a few fire elementals - however it also skips a couple of very short go-see quests that reward you a 26-slot reagent bag and your first piece of high value new profession gear for essentially free.
Perhaps in the future those items will be easy and cheap to find but right now I think they are more than worth the couple minutes it takes to do the one real quest that the skip skips.
