They do not know much better
There is one major reason why you should, which is for you to find the ability to be gathering the resources you may need for crafting until you are actually able to craft. If you choose to do this you could be gathering from level four before time you acquire your significant other, which can be somewhere around level seven for swtor credits. When you acquire a companion it is possible to immediately start to craft.
Most individuals will wait they do not know much better. They will discover Crew Skill trainers if they go to the fleet using their class quest about level ten and after that start to craft and learn to gather resources for their next stop of Dromond Kaas (or Coruscant for your Republic). They have missed a great deal of resources as well as a big head start you will have from the crafting game that way trick right off the bat after you make your character.
Before we start, let's tackle the crew skill that looks like it's the most popular currently: Biochem. Some players say this is the only one worth anything. I'm not one particular people, but I do think when you're playing a Tank type, you need to seriously consider taking Biochem regardless of what might be optimal because of the numbers. Having always-on skill buffs without having to break the bank can help out in a flashpoint, and knowing that you just always have a non-consumable healing stim for all those tough fights can prevent you worrying about how exactly many of the regular ones you could have left from the middle of a story-mode operation.
Much just like the previous skill range we are making Ceramic Alloy Items but now they require different materials. Both of these Ceramic Alloy items require same materials so that it doesn't matter which of the two you will be making. The Opila Crystals and Ancient Artifact Fragments which are required to cause them to can be gathered through Archaeology or purchased in the Auction House and also the Demicot Silk is usually gathered through Archaeology or purchased in a Crew Skills vendor. Be sure to use Reverse Engineering on any materials you could have left over while they sell well within the Auction House.
