Trying to plan ahead... anticipate having a tailor for salvaging to make plats to start, then ultimately make an alchemist.

My anticipated main will be a minstrel primarily for solo play so was thinking I should invest in making an alchemist eventually for the pots. Currently he is my only character.

Initially I had planned to make him a tailor to salvage as I go, but with uth2's implementation of pots, I'm wondering if maybe holding off and making him the alchemist later would be a more sustainable plan.

So my question, with my final plan of keeping minstrel potted eventually, is it logistically a better idea to make him the alchemist later and just create a lowbie alt for tailoring/salvaging now?
Does that provide significant advantage over just transferring pots via vault/housing later?
Does that advantage outweigh the benefit of my main (minstrel) being able to salvage on the go (at the expense of having to transfer for salvages instead) ?

Is there any other consideration I'm overlooking?

For the tl;dr: how much relative convenience does having your main be your salvager vs. your pot crafter actually bring?

Thanks!

If you make your mincer your salvager, you can easily run to the RK when you need to raise your skill 800+ and hopefully not get ganked so easily.

Either way you are going to be transferring salvage or potions between characters.

Thanks for the response. I'm missing a little context to fully understand because I've never actually taken a crafter that high.

Just to clarify, running to the RK / contested zones is something you have to do to level tailoring/salvaging high? Is that unique to mundane trades (eg. tailoring) ?
