Crafting as a lower intelligence race?

[queipo_a]

Is it even worth it to get into tradeskills as a wood elf? Would intelligence gear make up for the lower starting intelligence?

It uses the highest of your WIS or INT. Then there are a couple skills which could also use the higher of your WIS/INT/some other stat. I believe those are Blacksmithing (STR) and poison making/fletching (DEX).

If you are a wood elf druid since it use wisdom yeah if u add points on it perfectly workable.Ranger, warrior and rogue probably not.

Intelligence & Wisdom, whichever is higher governs your chance to gain skill increases when practicing any tradeskill.

Charisma will affect your prices, both buying and selling, with merchants.

Smithing skill increases use a secondary stat of Strength. The highest of Intelligence, Wisdom, or Strength governs your chance of gaining skill in smithing.

Fletching skill increases use a secondary stat of Dexterity. The highest of Intelligence, Wisdom, or Dexterity governs your chance of gaining skill in fletching.

Poison Making skill increases use a secondary stat of Dexterity. The highest of Intelligence, Wisdom, or Dexterity governs your chance of gaining skill in poison making.

Stats do not affect your chance of success for a combine. Only your current skill (modified by any skill-enhancing items) affects your chance of success.



Shaman, Enchanters and Clerics make strong all around tradeskill characters who want to use all trades. They all have high stats for doing all trades, and they all have class abilities that support a trade. Clerics and Shaman enchant stones for Smithing. Shamans exclusively can do Alchemy. Enchanters enchant bars for jewelry and other stuff.

FTFY
But I'm not sure how huge the imbue spells are to support tradeskills, pretty minor...
