Tradeskill Instances and Other Places to Craft

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 starting the Seeking a Tradeskill Profession. 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.

Other Points of Interest

Deathfist Citadel

Has a Blood Iron Forge required for crafting Blood Iron Mastercrafted armor.

Everfrost

Once upon a time there was an iceberg with tradeskill stations, but the heat from all that crafting caused it to melt, and it is no more.

The Nest of the Great Egg

Has a magical hooluk loom and a magical hooluk Work Bench specifically for creating recipes whose books and ingredients are dropped in the Nest.

Sanctum of Scaleborn

Has a forge specifically for the Bone-Clasped Girdle Heritage Quest.

Solusek's Eye

There is a standard forge and stove near the mender at 31, 16, -23, but bring your own fuel. There is also a forge for crafting wyrmsteel weapons deep in the dungeon. The recipe book is purchasable off a city merchant if you are in a level 25+ guild. A raid force (or at least a very good group) is required during the crafting process.

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