               Tradeskilling, or crafting, lets players create new equipment and furniture using resources found in the game world.  You can choose to develop a tradeskill as a side activity to your adventuring career, or you can focus your character exclusively on tradeskill progression. Everquest II was designed to make the tradeskill career interesting and rewarding in its own right.

Those who take up a tradeskill can produce 3 different types of gear and house items. 
*'''Handcrafted:''' which uses common, easy to [[Harvestables (All)|harvest]] materials. Gear or equipment of this quality will have low bonuses to stats like Strength, Stamina, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Agility.
*'''Mastercrafted:''' which uses a mix of common materials and at least one rare material. Gear or equipment of this quality will have bonuses roughly equal to, or slightly below legendary items. These items can also be used in [[Transmuting]].
**''Note: There is also a better version of Mastercrafted gear possible. With {{info|Altar of Malice ?}} it's possible to Refine the rare Material, but some of the recipes now need more than one rare material to craft. If all of the rare {{info|just the basic (first) ?}} materials are refined you will get a "better" version of the item labeled "refined". These items can also be "experimented" on up to five times at a crafting station to improve your choice of stats, the fifth level labeling the item "Visionary". None of these bonuses/benefits apply to house items, consumables, etc..
*'''Mastercafted Fabled:''' these items use at least one very rare resource, typically reactants from loot or research assistants. These items are normally better than legendary, and roughly equal to dropped fabled items. Like Mastercrafted items, these too can be used in [[Transmuting]]. Some of these items also receive benefit from refined materials and can be experimented on.

For an introduction to Tradeskilling, see the '''[[Taking up a Tradeskill]]''' User's Guide.
*Those who take up a tradeskill have access to two special Alternate Advancement trees to specialize their skills and aid in harvesting. See [[Tradeskill Alternate Advancement]] and [[Tradeskill Prestige]] for details.
