I am still getting hang of this game, but i noticed that you can make much more money if you sell resources rather than crafting something with them and then selling that item.
Example if I want a cape it is much more financial sense to sell my hides and then buy the cape I need, and it seems similar with most items (except jewelery maybe).
This does not reflect scenario in a real world. However I am still in tier 1 maybe things change as you progress.
My question is, can I keep progressing in the game without developing my hero's profession?
