It is difficult to choose Crafting classes until we know more of the mechanics.
How do we learn how to make given objects?

Do we get them from a trainer or a pattern from loot or buy from NPC or do they arrive with level gains or rewards for quests?

Does a craft class demand specialisation in that a blacksmith must decide if they will make weapons or armor? an outfitter leather or cloth?

My thinking is towards carpenter with mason or blacksmith as secondary skill.

This would in theory enable me to build ships and houses, wagons, furniture, bows and arrows, staffs to name but a few items. For me the biggy is that much that I would produce would not compete with loot.

Wood, Stone or metal harvesting would for most part be common resources rather than the super rare massive raid required craft item.
