Getting Started

To get started with crafting there are four NPCs, found in each of the starting areas in the game, who will give out the first crafting quest. The quests from different starting areas may be different but they do the same job: they point out your nearest Master/Mistress of Apprentices, who will get you started on your crafting career.
