First off, I am fairly new to Vanguard. I've made a Half-elf Druid with skinning as my primary and reaping as secondary. My dilemma is that at skill level 200, I got my new tools and read my amateur books and am able to progress my skills at reaping, but skinning is stuck at 200. I tried going back and re-reading the amateur book for skinning, but get a message that I have not met a character requirement. My reaping is currently at 208 and harvesting is at 291. My clothing is all at 'amateur' level except my boots which are still 'novice'. I am able to use my 'apprentice' tools, but again, no skill ups for skinning. Any ideas??
