@Rence, look at the armor and weapon crafters for you profession on the wiki. It will have links to individual crafters as well as the actual armor styles and you can see the mats and costs.

The costs are listed on the pages I linked. For the mats you need to choose an armor rating, then pick a crafter (depending on the outpost location) and then on the crafter's page you get links to styles they can fashion (eg. Tyrian or Charr Hide). Finally, on the actual page for the armor (eg. warrior ascalon armor) you get a table with costs and mats.

Right after leaving Pre you will be most interested in either Corwen or Banoit, since they're located right in Ascalon City, so that's a good place to start.

You won't meet a worthwhile weaponsmith until Yak's Bend. The ones you meet before have the same stuff as the one in Pre.

My answer to that is no in pre, where its hard to get gold, it only pays to salvage items that were ID'd with highly salvageable. Each salvage costs you 4g. If you salvage 1 bow and get 1 wood, in post searing when you sell it to a material merchant you will only get 3 golds for it (going rate lately). A stack of 250 wood sells for 2.5k to 3k in LA. But selling the bow to a merchant (in pre) will get you 2g plus, depending on the level of the bow.

-4g (salvage) + 3g (selling it in post) = -1g, so not worth it. Other items will be worth it, like for granite.

Edit: Just another tip. If you are keeping a toon in pre for a while, make another toon and take it to post as soon as you can. Use that toon to check the prices out in post so you can compare with pre. Keep up with the price fluctuations of black dye, white dye, materials, runes, etc...
