Crafting on Threshold is a completely different set of guilds/classes.

The Tradesman guild includes Jewelers, Armor smiths, Weapon smiths, Clothiers, and Enchanters. The most important thing about it being a separate guild is it means you don't have a situation where every single craft gets dominated by all the bored high level players who learn crafting simply because they have nothing better to do.

All players in the game can gather resources. This creates two layers of economic interaction between crafters and adventurers (the gear/services sold to adventurers and the resources sold/given to crafters).

The gear that tradesmen make is some of the best stuff in the game so it is highly sought after.

Also, since nearly all gear resets every ~8 weeks, tradesmen have a lot of repeat business.
