Haulin logs is highly annoying due to their weight as *log* I have the dilemma in reverse on Chesapeake. I have the old school lumberjacker from when lumberjacking was a warrior skill. I still try to use HER to get me wood cuz my carpenters there NO lumberjacking. The only gm lumberjacker gm carp I have together on one chr. is HERE. Mighty convenient to cut the logs to boards so one can haul more.
And if you opt to do alchemy...you will then have to BUY kegs or...have a carpenter with tinker skills, to make ya kegs.
Do not hang up the arms lore you would need that for anything you make smith or tailor etc. if ya want the better %%%%%%%%%%%%% ya have to have the arms lore gm'd etc.
I have been utter ANTI soul stones and anti soul stone fragments, to me they make SIEGE be same as any other shard where even with the one chr. per acct. rule ..with enough stones and frags every one anyone can be *EVERYTHING* hense negating our need for others. BUT I too have had no choice in the end, when we HAD to have arms lore Castor gave me a soul stone fragment, I had to shelve something else to get that arms lore...so I stoned mining since the BRE were slaughtering me anyway. . to gm arms lore so my 120 tailoring finally made something worth a flip.
So you gonna be in same dilemmas..here or anywhere..too many crafting skills require multiple crafts to make diddly..ya can not make a bed as a carpenter without tailoring, you can not make a forge as a carp if ya have not smithing *save for elfy forge*, ya can not make even the large SE lanterns without carptink and kegs too carp tink skills etc. etc.
ya can be a gm lumberjacker even from back in the day..but if you would find 200 frost wood on a tree by miracle...you could end up bogged down unable to move or have to haul a packy ..on ye old school warrior bleh...or make your carp be lumberjacker etc.
sooo you gonna have to be stuck soulstoning it or fragments..or ya just find it all a pain in the butt just trying to meld ya crafting skills or resource gathering chr. or combo..ya be stuck with stones and fragments or hassles ! either or !
LOGS can go on commodity deeds and sale, wool sells cloth sells, ingots sell, craftables sell, alchemy sells, if one restocks it all sells.
I have had lots of vendors in 3 busy Siege vendor homes simultaneously, from bombs to apples to potions to leather armor to tools and engraving and more..all my vendors are removed on Siege I don't play here that much any more, not much going on for my chrs. here any more, but I know it all sells and once ya work out your own logistics it will all sale here for YOU too. So hang in there !
