One of the ways that the developers at Turbine are making crafting unique is through vocations. In other words, combinations of different crafting professions. Each vocation is comprised of three gathering and production professions, each of which compliment each other or are designed to assist other vocations. While the full details of how crafting is going to operate won't be made available until the NDA is lifted, we will provide the vocation combinations and profession deions for you below. This should give you some idea of what to expect out of crafting at a very fundamental level.
Armsman
Prospector (Gathering)
The Prospector is a master gatherer who specializes in the accumulation of material ore. Presumably with a pick in hand, he will maneuver his way throughout Eriador in search of the richest mineral deposits that still remain in the world. Many players shall certainly prove that the Dwarves are not the only ones who are masters of mining.
Arguably the most common gathering profession, the prospector is quintessential to the success of Armsmen, Armorers, Explorers and Tinkerers. For in each of these vocations the use of material ore is essential to the craft of weapons, armor and the like. Any player that finds the need of ore would certainly be advised to gather at every possible moment.
Weaponsmith (Production)
The Weaponsmith is the ultimate crafter of shaft and steel. In the troubled days of Middle-earth, many adventurers will look towards these individuals in hopes of a fearsome weapon to gain an added edge in battle. Utilizing the hot fires of the forge, this crafter is able to create swords, spears, axes, hammers and much more.
Certainly the Weaponsmith will be the production craft in the highest demand. In any battle against the forces of the Dark Lord Sauron, a valued weapon in hand will mean the difference between victory and defeat, life or death. It is for this reason that players should seek out the Weaponsmith at every possible opportunity to ensure they always have the advantage in battle.
Woodworker (Unsupported Production)
The Woodworker is a master of wood and haft that allows him to create an array of deadly weapons for ranged and melee combatants alike. Utilizing the ever-useful work bench and knives, the Woodworker can create bows, staves and spear hafts.
The Woodworker will be a frequent proprietor for Hunters and Lore-masters, but perhaps Guardians and Champions as well. Much like the Weaponsmith, a reliable bow or stave often means the difference in battle, and as such the relevant players should acquire their services often.

Yep I just removed the link - otherwise it is a good post. As one of our devs always says gold sellers know the most about the game because they are farming it. Which unfortunately is true.
