Anyone Growing Together With Professions?

• So, here's the point. I've been progressing my only character in-game, together with some professions (weaponsmithing, woodcutting, mining). Professions are optional and may be unnecessary to maintain while starting out as a newbie, but I'd prefer to do so since I can make weapons that'll help me on my playstyle, and this way I could level up my character together with the profession. If there's anyone on the same path, I'd like to hear your experiences.

 

I consistently gather professions to sell materials, but crafting will take much longer, so on your first playthrough, I recommend at least waiting until you are at high levels(90-106) to start them.

 

indeed i should start tackling professions at end-game but at least i didnt regret it
