The Best professions and build for sorcerer? (xping and later pvp)
Hello guyz,
I m pretty new to the game and I was wondering which professions should I choose while xping as sorcerer. If there are any bonuses you get when you finish ur max lvl with you profession.
Also if there is any good xping build for sorc, should i just put skill points anywhere in class skills, or should I choose carefuly. Basicaly where is good to put ur early points.

If any1 would be that kind and could advice me with that Thank you

(I d like to play pvp endgame, if anyone has any nice builds I d appreciate)

There are enough skill points available in the game that you will have more than enough to max out whatever professions you want, plus have enough left over for almost all of your skills in every tree, and your weapon skill line of choice.

As an example, my Nightblade has the following skill lines maxed out:

* All three class ability lines' passives, plus a couple skills from each of them. All skills in Assassination.

* Dual Wield passives, plus some skills there.
* Two Handed passives, plus a few skils there.
* Medium Armor passives.
* Blacksmithing, all but one passive.
* Clothing, all but one passive.
* Woodworking, all but one passive.
* Enchanting, all but one passive.

Edit: I forgot that I also have some skills in the Mage's Guild (Persuasive Will, Comet when I hit rank 10), Fighter's Guild (Dawnbreaker + morph, Trap Beast + morph), Dark Brotherhood (mount passive, SUPER HANDY), Thieve's Guild (bonus Fence prices), and Ledgerdemain lines.

I have at least a few points tossed in other places, like Alliance War lines (Vigor, Caltrops, and the passive for a 10m buff when you capture a resource), Alchemy (potion duration increase), Provisioning (food buff duration increase).

And I have a bunch of skill points left over from:

* Cyrodiil Skyshards
* Cadwell's Gold zone Skyshards
* PvP Ranks (each time you gain a rank you get a skill point, unsure how many total)
* Cadwell's Gold zone story quests
* A few dungeon quests I haven't done

Early on you will be starved for points (until around level 20 or 30), but there will come a point where you will have so many you won't know what to do with. At one point I was sitting on like 15 points and had nowhere to put them.

My advice: look up a good build that you're going to use, and get those skills maxed out first. Then work on professions/etc.

About what I said on professions: if you lack the funds to buy your own equipment every 10 levels or so, then level the two professions that suit your class. For example, if you're playing a typical Magicka Sorcerer, that'd be Clothing and Woodworking (for Staves).

Even more important, which I also forgot about, is that researching traits on equipment takes FOREVER. (30+ days when you hit 8 or 9 traits) So doing that while you're leveling, before you need to craft set pieces, is a really, really good idea. Good set pieces require 6+ traits on every piece you intend to craft. Since you'll need a bare minimum of 5 pieces (minus head/shouler, since those are typically reserved for Monster helm/shoulders), you'll need to compensate by having that ready to go early.

The most important traits you're going to want early are:

Armor: Divines, Infused (subjective), and Impen if you're going to PvP.
Staves: Sharpened, Precise

Regardless, though, I would collect every single crafting node you come upon (this can get annoying, as they're pretty abundant in some areas) for a few reasons:

1. You'll need the materials, and they aren't exactly cheap.
2. Rare materials, such as the Legendary runestone "Kuta", sell really well.
3. You have a chance to loot an "Aetherial Dust" from crafting nodes in most zones. These sell for around 75k, but they're super-rare.

Also, while killing stuff, you have a chance to loot an "Aetherial Cipher" (or similar name), also a yellow-text item, which is even more expensive than the dust.
