Unsure if this is do-able, but something similar to the current quest system (the custom 1), perhaps make it so there are skill dailies, or just skill repeatable contracts. For example, you go to the smithing NPC, and click "Low-Level Contract" and he gives you x amount of random low level gear to make, like "Gather 9 Iron Ore, Smith 3 Iron Plateskirts" that way you can't just buy materials and spam turn it in, it would force you to be the 1 to gather the resources as well. Rewards being X amount of experience in Smithing. I feel this could work for all crafting classed skills like Smithing, Crafting, Herblaw (Might be tricky), Cooking, and Fletching. Maybe even the other skills but the main idea behind this post is to talk about the more creation skills.

Something to spice up the normal grind, and get people doing more things they wouldn't normally be doing (Like mining Iron Ore, or Rune Ore for the High-Level Contracts). I'm unsure what the scripting power is on these sort of things, but if something like this can be done, and people wanted it, I think it would be pretty awesome to have.

If not dailies/repeatables, maybe just X amount of quests per skill, like "Beginners Smith Training" with there being like 10 total tiers/levels, where the experience boost is very rewarding since it'll be a 1 time turn in only (10 total turn ins), though I think the original "Decent/good Experience" for repeatables/dailies would be more beneficial to work towards if it was possible.

Anyways, apologies if this was already suggested, enjoy your day!
