I just started EQ2 with one account to see if I will like it, I made the account "gold" but I don't have any expansions added.

How do you make any gold in this game?
I assumed that I could mine/gather/fish or possibly craft etc and sell in an AH but I can't find any place to sell what I've gathered.

I'm in New Halas on the Frostfang Sea ( first city in the beginner zone )
How do I craft anything? I've looked in recipes and I don't have any.
I've tried to look at the Knowledge base for crafting and there isn't a tab for it.
Does it require the expansion to craft?

I tried to read the help official help from the EQ2 sight and it said to look in my knowledge base for the crafting tab or use the recipes I already have.
