What kind of character would best help my main?

[jmstrings]

Im planning on starting another player to help my main, my question is what type of character would be most helpful when it comes to tradeskills? An enchanter for jc or some other class? Im relatively new to the game so any input you could provide would be welcomed with open arms.

In general, having a pocket enchanter is absolutely wonderful. 'Chanters can make mana vials of all kinds, do JC, and enchant metals/clay. If you plan on levelling him up to at least 49, I'd go enchanter.

Other than the obvious..

reasons to choose enchanter (enchant metal) what other classes would be good to have when related to tradeskills in general?

[sir0die]

a pocket GNOME enchanter.

get tinker in there, make bow cams for your fletcher.

[Cigarskunk]

Druids, shammies and clerics of various gods to chant gems for cultural stuff

WE ranger for tracking and hunting of silk and pelt mobs as well as foraging of needed items

Chanter for mana vials, clay, ore and metals

I think that about covers all five classes one needs to be an effective and versatile tradeskiller.
