It sounds like mostly overall, TS isnt really worth the effort, other than maybe for food?

I was mostly thinking to level the Sage when everyone got to 70+ here and there otherwise. (Ive heard people say sage was also the easiest to level and 5 of my 6 get spells from the sage.)

It sounds like the armor and tailor is a waste of time, even w/ the shard discount for making my own? Too much time/effort to level vs just accumulating the difference in shards.

I guess I'll do them just for doing them, but I guess not really worry about them.
