I really love focusing on gardening and animal husbandry, but as I progress, I find I'm starting to need things that seemed kind of pointless before, like gases and bubbles. So I'm wondering how important it is to focus on skills that seem to be sort of miscellaneous or specialty items. Is it better to try and make as much as you can by yourself? Is there a lot of market for selling product on the auction house?
I love the feel of this game, but I feel as though I'm missing a bit of the point of some things. I know some skills are for gathering materials to use in building projects, but how do those work exactly? Is it important to learn those skills? Or will I remain blissful with my gardening and herdkeeping?
