Tradeskill Timeline

Tradeskill Timeline provides information about most tradeskill quests that clearly help you progress your tradeskill career. The timeline does not include quests that:
 * yield recipes (e.g. Kicking the Bird Out of the Nest, Golden Acorn, ...)
 * grant harvesting items (e.g. Reinforcing a Relic, ...)
 * simply require you to craft something (e.g. A Thorn of Old, An Axe from the Past, ...)
 * simply require you to harvest something (e.g. Casualties of the War of the Fay, These Boots Were Made For..., ...)

Some of the quests will clearly help you progress your tradeskill level (Draco Mortuus and crafting Nest recipes in T6, for example). They do not cleanly fit into a clear progression and the quests themselves do not grant you direct tradeskill experience, per se, just the opportunity to craft items needed to complete the quests.

Levels 10-19: Crafting with no quests
When you have gained artisan level 9, you can gain level 10 by simply talking to a Crafting Trainer and choosing either Scholar, Craftsman or Outfitter. Most players will want to do this before turning in Tutorial: Essential Outfitting, since you can gain more tradeskill experience that way.

For artisan levels 10 through 19, there are no actual tradeskill quests. You will just need to craft items to gain tradeskill experience until you're level 19. At artisan level 19, you can gain level 20 by simply talking to a Crafting Trainer and choosing your Artisan subclass from:

 * If you're an Outfitter:
 * Tailor (Cloth and Leather Armor etc.)
 * Armorsmith (Plate and Chain Armor)
