So its that time. Need to decide if I want to go artisan or scavy. All I'm really looking for is the money. I know back in the day that would be the scavy line. Though things could have changed over the past couple years so I ask. I'm guessing artisan/ws line probably runs pretty dry til late levels since everyone wants A~S grade stuff made? Are there decent spoiling grounds that don't require full clan support to fend off farmer guild gankers etc? Are there still even farmer clans?
You can find nice spoils at all levels but the problem is vitality: you exp too fast. If you are willing to delevel a bit (or a lot) you can certainly make some nice money at the lower levels. Just remember that the flow of items is controlled by the soulless.
Artisans can generate adena with very little (=smart private crafting) and you can always try to craft shots, which are slow but steady income. You won't make a lot from that because there will be a 50a-shop near you to cut your business.
If I absolutely wanted to make a dwarf now, I would make a crafter - but with the full knowledge that the class is crippled and has only a small spot in L2's grander scheme.
ps: Actually I have both classes, which I enjoy playing immensely :)
make craft. there are not so much in late game. actually i don`t see crafters exp above 76-77. but the skills for siege - lol sorry they are awesome. mats for crafting are easily found, and with some smart thinking you can buy them at low price. you will safe some money from crafting things for yourself, wich will safe lots of money in late game
perhaps if you tell us on ich server you play we can be more accurate
Thanks for the response. I think I may have to sit on it for a bit. My toons used to be on Kain but now its Aria (sp?) server. I think I might work on my warrior a bit til I can decide where to go with the dwarf. I kinda like the idea of an artisan, its always a little bit of a motivator when you finally learn how to make that piece of gear that you really want. Plus it seems like it might be workable that I can just set up afk shop since I can't be on as much as most people. But at the same time I just have it in the back of my head that farming mats might be easier when it comes to actually getting those items. That and over the past couple years it seems they have made a lot of additions to enchanting gear, etc and I'm still trying to catch up on all that...since there seem to be very few guides out for this game.

is that sarcasm or what?
no there isn't many WS past 76 but that is because their craft skills max out at 70 and every second person has a max lvl craft alt
and no siege skills are not awesome in fact i'd say they are pretty **** close to useless
