[Blaaaaaaaah]

One more question on this though if you'd be so kind. I've allotted two skills to it;potion creation and stone creation. I realise from your post that each character is only allowed 2 skills {shame} to chose from. Am I "locked into" the 2 that I've chosen,or is there a way to change one or both out at a future time?. If not,then that's okay and I'll consider it a lesson well learned. Either way,I'd appriciate all the help that you;or anyone,can give me on this question.

What most people do is to use multiple characters. You can make 4 characters on one acount, and that's enough to get all the production skills (with each char learning two different production skills, of course). Since you share our storage between your four characters, you can just pass the materials between your chars via the storage to make stuff. Still works. =]
