There are two types of professions in Rift: crafting professions and gathering professions. Here is a general guide to them all with help leveling the professions. First up, gathering (butchery, foraging and mining).

UPDATE: Rift Crafter has a website that will cover all the crafts. It's just now getting started so there's not a lot there yet but the home page talks about the fixes Patch 1.1 will bring to the game.

From the Favorite Links, don't forget what Telarapedia says about professions (including the highly important chart that shows which gathering and crafting professions compliment each other).

The Solo MMO Player has hit the wall leveling in two foraging professions. We read in the forums to head to another zone looking for non-gray items and he discovered that buying some items to craft in combination with his foraged items broke the log jam and enabled him to level a bit higher. If you are stuck leveling a profession, try doing either or both of these things.

UPDATE: I've found three guides (foraging, butchering and mining) that list some items that go gray at various levels. This may be helpful with the wall crafters and gathers are hitting.

The Solo MMO Player has discovered that the controls are inconsistent across characters. If you push the left button and get the "you aren't trained to use a loom" type message, try the right button.
