Oh. So for crafting you now need Blueprints?
Make a 200+ Outdoorsman.Get Scout, Pathfinder, Cautious Nature, Awareness, Explorer, Ranger - all free as support perks.Throw in high carry weight/SB-PR, high Cha, good Int/skill points, Speech/Barter, etc. and you will have a utility character for the rest of the Wipe.It will make everything easier for your other alts.
you do know barter does about as much as gambling right?
