I am levelling a warrior which is lvl 19 atm. I chose mining and blacksmithing and I am regretting it as I cant keep my blacksmithing up to my warrior level as I struggle mining copper and the gear I craft is useless. Also I'm finding the gear I get in dungeons is far better. Should I respect to cooking and first aid? Will I have difficulties levelling it up to my current level? Thanks in advance
