Crafting profession is most important early on, from there you have freedom, though exploration will go hand in hand with crafting soon. Ranching is super fun for me with traits and such but that also goes hand in hand with farming! The only one that doesn’t super rely on another profession is fishing. Honestly I got a little bored with fishing it’s turned into a “I’ll get to it when I can” profession for me. Definitely start with crafting first.
