Thread: Should I Switch Vocations?

Let me preface this by saying that I made some pretty poor choices in my vocation selection. I was leveling with a friend; his Guardian took Armourer and his Hunter took Woodsman. I don't generally like crafting, but I enjoy LotRO's system, so I ended up picking complimentary vocations: Armsman on my Warden (for Weaponsmithing) and Historian on my Captain (for Scholar). Recently, I decided to pursue Woodworking, since it makes sense for my Warden (who is now my main).

My Warden is a Master Expert Weaponsmith and I think my Captain is a Master Expert Scholar. I'm about 50% of the way to Mastering Expert Woodworker on the Warden, too. It felt like a pretty good accomplishment until I realized that, in a few months, we're getting a whole new tier of crafting. It's been hard (and expensive) enough gathering Wood without having Forester on either of my played-characters. I have a lowbie (level 16 Champion) who is an Explorer and I've found that he can actually collect Yew pretty easily in the North Downs, but I don't know how long he'll actually be able to farm for me.

Should I change my Warden to Woodsman? Or should I not even bother leveling it up and just rely on guildies? I hate the latter option because it makes me feel like a total leech.

You can switch to woodsman from Armsman and not loose your woodworking expierience. It won't take long to build up the Forestry.
