Tradeskill Timeline

I'm kind of confused here. I'm level 9 and I went to speak to Tami Swifthammer but all she does is say hello. She doesn't do anything else. What am I doing wrong here? Or could it be because I'm neutral I have to go to a different NPC?

You can't be 'neutral', in EQ2.
If your home city is Kelethin, Qeynos or New Halas, you're 'good'.
If your home city is Neriak, Freeport or Gorowyn, you're 'evil'.
In the later case, you speak to Commissioner Varla Z'Velran at /waypoint -61, 139, 275 in Frostfang Sea, a little ways outside of New Halas.

For reference: https://eq2.fandom.com/wiki/Tradeskill_Timeline

If you are level 9 you should have the option from the tradeskill person to move automatically to lev 10 and select what line you want to go on to. Once you do that you should receive an e-mail or message to report to Tami.

I found what the problem was. Had to go to Qeynos and get qualified.

Any ideas where I can find some tuber strands?

Those are harvest from root nodes in T2 (designated level 10-19) areas, if you're in Halas, there are some out by the basilisks through the undead orcs and on the islands with orcs that you may have visited during the adventure line.

Thanks! Been looking all over New Halas for them I couldn't find any. Problem was I wasn't going far enough.

Have you talked to the crafting trainer to level up to 10?

Yep, sure have! Now I'm making party plates. That is after I find the iron cluster, electrum cluster, and rough turquoise I will!

The Raven's Roost crafting tutor works to. When you reach 9th, talk to the woman NPC, i forget her name, to sort of specialize. This where the crafting machines and desks are.

When you reach 19th, you have to talk to her again. To specialize.

If you miss those two steps, no more crafting experience. You will get told this in your chat window.

Thanks for the pointers!

You're welcome. They are on the left of the semi-circle, when you come behind them in Raven's Roost from New Hallas.

Hagley the dog, at the pet sales guy, likes to bark and lunge at characters that 'get too close'. No damage yet.

Need some help, please. Where the heck do I find some iron clusters? I've looked everywhere and am unable to locate any!

I think the dog just likes to bite at our heels to keep us alert.

Check in the broker to get the level off some on sale there. Then close that and go to the zone that covers that level. Careful, your character might get killed depending on where you go.

I should be okay anywhere in New Halas I'm level 22. Which broker?

There is one right near the crafting area. There is a banker and a broker, you turn around one way and you see the barking dog, and a bit the other way and you see the crafting area. Otherwise you will need to mine the metal nodes for that level of materials.

Okay, but I'll have to wait until tomorrow. Shoulder is in quite a bit of pain right now. Thanks!

Antonica is the best place to harvest this tier of materials. You can get there via the world bells.

Thanks! Any certain spot on Antonica I should go?
