I need your opinion please

I have a couple characters I split my crafting skills up with. Alchemy, enchanting, and woodworking on one. Bsmithing, clothier, and provisioning on another. They are not my intended main. I recently made a dunmer dk firemage.(My intended main) It is only lvl 9. What I'm wondering is...Should I wait to level her up? Considering my bs, clothier, and ww is only around lvl 35. All of them. I think currently I can craft up to VR5 if I'm not mistaken. Reason I'm asking is because the fact that any gear I find as a lower lvl will not give me much inspiration or experience towards crafting. I had the aspiration to want to master all crafts beforehand but I am getting impatient. Would you go ahead and level your main or keep going on the others til the crafts were mastered?

Two suggestions:

First, go ahead and start playing your main. Especially for the 1-50 range, equipment does not need to be top notch. Have fun and just go along. There is no real benefit in waiting longer.

Second, think on changing the crafts. If you group up tailoring, woodworking and blacksmithing, you only need to find every motif once. The way you did now, you either need them twice or you will not be able to mix and match styles freely.

Go ahead and level your L9, your crafter can keep them in gear for quite a long time. You don't need to max crafting to make max level items either, L40 Craft skills will unlock the top tier materials. Anything beyond that is really to help research or some other support passive to crafting. So, you can go out on your crafters from time to time to farm stuff to decon. Just keep the L35 researching traits, don't do what I did which is park them at a crafting station and ignore trait research for 3 months.

I agree with you totally on your second suggestion. Only reason it ended up like that was because I originally only intended on doing just the 2 Characters. But, when I made my first one I was so consumed on leveling my character I had a total disregard to my crafts except for blacksmithing and clothier. I used to be a first person shooter person so my experience with a mmorpg is a bit lackluster. Needless to say by the time I realized doing it all on one character would have been the way to go it was too late. I had already saved the gold and bought the motifs I needed for my 3 characters.Once again, I never intended for 3 toons lol. So on the first 2 I wanted to be able to craft and still be viable for combat.
