Well I am curious -- how do you handle it? How do you get all the pretty tools like wood axes (for wood reaping potions) or miners picks (for stone reaping or metal reaping potions)?

Do you craft them yourselves? I myself chose to lvl as tinkerer as well, but its a long hard (though fulfilling) road. Any alchemist/blacksmiths out there? Or do you depend on other crafters?

I hold that it's a good thing to be able to craft them without assistance -- always have to have some potions ready to placate those hungry dragons who'd like a bit of tasty gnome[:S]
