I chose Weaponsmithing for the sole purpose if providing my small group of RL friends with quality weapons. The only problem I didn't anticipate was the need to keep my Weaponsmith level at least 9 levels above my Ranger level to ensure the weapons I could produce were inline with the weapons we could wield (for example, you need to be 20+ to wield pristine imbued steel weapons, and you need to be a 29+ Weaponsmith to do the imbuing yourself). Now that we're all in our early 30's, and I'm still a 31 Weaponsmith, if I want to create imbued feyiron/feysteel weapons, I need to grind away to reach 39 Weaponsmith before we all hit 40+ adventurer.

The other night I was hit up by someone to make a pair of imbued blackened iron weapons for one of his alts. That netted me 20g, which was a nice surprise. All told, I'm happy I chose Weaponsmith.
