Tradeskills are trades that players can learn in WildStar, and use to gather materials and items, create new items, and gain other benefits. Unlike hobbies, only two tradeskills may be acquired at a time. Tradeskills are learned from a Crafting trainer, found in major cites.

Salvaging
Salvaging starts at level 6 [citation needed], and this allows you to salvage armor and weapons for materials. There is also a chance of a Salvage Critical, which can drop more rarer materials.
Crafting
Crafting will require a crafting table, normally located at a Tradeskill Hub. Crafting tables can also be added to your housing plot. The current way is to place a BBQ pit into an unused landscape socket. The BBQ pit works because you can use any cooking table or any crafting table to do either a tradeskill or a hobby, and the BBQ pit is a cooking table. You will be able to change Tradeskills for a respec fee. Skills previously learned will not be lost, but there is a cooldown period if you wish to swap back to a previous tradeskill.
