crafting and gathering guild for a solo player

[battlehotdog]

i bet this has been asked already, i tried to find something with the search function, but there was nothing. so im just gonna ask away:

im currently playing with a solo character and a character for a 2-player party (my buddy and me). however more focus on the solo character.

basically i just want to know which guilds/professions are the most beneficial for solo player? (like in being useful)

i get that the soul warden is THE profession to go after, along with merry potters, green thumb and tree fellers because the others are all useless (at least that is what i read everywhere). it would be awesome if someone could list the beneficials to each guild, cause most of the guides i read were explaining how you dont get much money/you cant sell your stuff.

currently im thinking about going with the alchemy stuff (but apparently healing pots drop from mobs a lot?), but there are so many people saying just go for the soul warden and get rich..

 

thanks for taking your time

(Bell can be a rare drop in the cinderlands, jar is needed for the 20 second wind walking upgrade but requires 2 special items to make)

 

Radiant Ring

- Keys, needed to open weapon chests and dungeon chests

(Higher quality gives more atk power, also some other diamonds are needed for achievements. Only way to get diamonds is through guild craft)
