Level 1 Tradeskill - how do I level?

[Airreilyn]

<div>I created a character last night on test, did what I thought was all the quests but no tradeskill that I could find. Got into Qeynos, got a note to join a tradeskill society, did that. Went over to pick up "Picking a Profession" quest. Was given a level 3 book and task but I am only lvl 1. Now what? Anybody know what the plan is.</div>

<div>Speak to the wholesaler in any tradeskill instance if you are level 1.  There should be a message on your screen for 10 seconds when you enter that says to do this (if you are level 1).  He/she will give you your lvl 2 recipe book, and bump your TS level to 2.  We'll be improving on this process.  The idea behind removing the instant level-up when leaving the island is to make the process feel less forced and  more realistic.</div>

<div></div>Wouldnt it be better to automatically give the player a quest when they enter the wholesaler area at TS lvl 1? Complete with a wisp to the wholesaler. Veterans to the game wont have a problem figuring out without clues, experienced mmorg players will figure stuff out without a quest, but the true newbie need to be spoonfed these things.

<div></div><p>Thank you all for responding. I did re-read the test server update notes and saw that I needed to go to the Temple of Life. All fixed. I thought I had spoke to everyone and looked around everywhere on the island. I dont recall any tradeskill instance. I have been on this game over a year now and have several characters. If it is this hard for a veteran I can't imagine what an inpatient noob will experiance.</p>

I'm on my second character now that did not get the  level 1 recipes.  She got the level 2 book and now knows the recipes, but none of the level 1.  How can I get the level 1 recipes now?<div></div>

<div></div>There are no level 1 recipes.  At level 1 you're 'Unskilled', not Artisan.

<P>I had the same problem and I knew there are level 1 recipes because I already have 2 other tradeskillers.  After going to the Temple of Wr and clicking the cross and hailing the wholesaler I /petitioned only to be told that I could not obtain the level one recipes after leaving the Isle.  </P> <P>I went ahead and bought the level 3 advanced artisan book from the wholesaler and scribed it - boom- there were my level 1, and level 3 recipes right in my tradeskill book.  </P> <P>Hope this helps <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P>
