Leveling route outline

1. Train at a profession trainer in a capital (trainer ranks and skill caps: from the live client).
2. Use materials you gather on your questing route rather than buying them.
3. Craft whatever turns your materials into skill-ups cheaply; sell or disenchant the results.

Leveling notes

• Pair with Skinning so the leather is free.

Recipes, skill-ups and trainer levels go up after launch, from the live client.
