You know. Its really irritating to see people post about "dont try this til your 65 and uber" or "you have to be flagged and even then you may not get it."
Why do people bother being negative. Some people just like tradeskilling. Others do it for the items it yields. Not everyone has the same goals in this game. And in the end its a game folks.
So before you sit there and tell a 52 he needs to get levels "before he even considers such attempts," remember levels may not be his goal.
I am sure he has done enough research if hes a true tradeskiller to know what flags he needs and skill levels.
