Tradeskill Instances and Other Places to Craft (EQ2)
There are lots of places for an Artisan to make their wares, but finding them can be tricky for the new player. As Norrath grows, so do the work place possibilities for crafters. Besides the traditional Tradeskill Instances, an artisan may ply their trade in the airy heights of Kelethin or in a bustling shop in Freeport. Here is a catalog of every crafting station in Norrath.
Tradeskill Instances
To find a tradeskill zone in a city or village, use your Waypoints (press alt-W and select your destination from the list). All Tradeskill instances have:
- Workstations for all Artisan classes
- A Crafting Trainer: Just outside the zone by the door. This trainer can also get you started (ding level 2), and certify your class and subclass. He sure to hail them rather than click them for certification as they are also vendors. This Trainer also sells recipe books. (Not available at the Ironforge Exchange in North Qeynos and the Coalition of Tradesfolke in East Freeport.)
- A Broker: for buying and selling goods on the open market
- A Tradeskill Representative: for the Tradeskill Tutorials. This is the one NPC in the zone without a label in arrow brackets below his name.
- A Wholesaler: fuel and supplies merchant. This NPC can also make you Artisan level 2.
- A Rush Order NPC: for doing timed Tradeskill City Tasks (Writs). Must be level 20 or higher.
- A Work Order NPC: for doing untimed Tradeskill City Tasks (Writs) Must be level 20 or higher.
Freestanding Crafting Stations
There are crafting stations scattered throughout Norrath. In the City Zones there are usually merchants nearby selling the appropriate fuels and supplies, and a Writ-starter clipboard in the general area. In outlying areas you will probably need to bring your own fuels and purchased materials.

Thanks to Eethen of Nektulos for the Haven information. Thanks to DenMum for helping with Kelethin and quest stuff. Thanks for Rohaise for spotting my omission.
