Which secondary harvesting skill to complement carpentry?

[Tominokar]

Obviously I have lumberjacking as the primary skill. I have no intent on doing any minerology even before I specialise, so quarrying seems pretty useless.

Should my decision just be based on how much money I can make from selling the harvest, or will another skill actually be useful to crafting?

Thanks in advance.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I though some artificer (the base recipes) used quarrying items. Someone double check me on that.

Yeh, but once you get to 11 you can specialise to carpenting or quarrying. If I choose carpenting then I cant see why I'd have any need for quarrying items.

I'd say pick up quarrying now and drop it later if you find a reason to.

If you are a minerologist, Lumberjacking is still a crucial skill.

Minerologists get recipes for truncheons, hatchets, and mauls. These are stone-headed weapons with wooden hafts. You have to get that wood from somewhere, and Lumberjacking is it. The conversation from lumber to boards and from boards into grips and shafts is done via the artificing skill, not the carpentry skill.

It would not surprise me much if there was some mineral equivalent items in the carpentry tree, where quarrying would be something you would still have a lot of use for.

Not to mention stone will sell pretty well at the higher tiers once massive amounts of it are being required to build housing.

Does not matter if you specialize in carpentry or mineralology - as your parent skill is artificer, you may still need both harvested items (some artificer skill required work-orders for example)

Also, does the it matter if it's your primary or secondary skill? Like as a carpenter I accidently took lumberjacking for my secondary and quarrying for my primary. Is one slower to level?

Nope, no gain - penalty from primary or secondary skill, both equal.
