Thanks guys for all the info. i rerolled having tool crafting as my main instead of baskets. As for time.. i have all the time in the world being on disability.
I should have figured it would have been best to start out as a tool crafter, but i had read some things saying basket weaving was the best way to start...

I have a long history with eve online/wurm/etc.. so long grinds etc to get things are not a big deal to me lol.
