Crafting, identifying, salvaging...

I searched 8 pages trying to find more information. I just bought GW last night, logged on, create a new necromancer (oddly enough that looks exactly like me), ran some quests, picked a second profession (monk), and had a general good time of it all. All of this done blindly, as I really have no clue what I'm doing.

Now onto my questions...

I finally got enough money to buy an ID kit, and a Salvage kit. I ID'd all those blue items in my inventory, and found nothing of use for me (I'm a necro, I use staffs, bows aren't my thing, axes arent my thing). I sold most to a merchant guy, and Salvaged some items that said "Highly Salvagable".

So now I have some of these salvage items. I have a thing of blue dye.

Is there a profession for crafting new items? How do I use these Salavaged items? What are dyes for? Am I limited by my class as to which weapons to use? Is the proper course of action to just sell this stuff to a vendor NPC?

Are there any resources for me to find newbie information regarding dyes, salvaged items, ID'd equipment, etc?

Thanks in advance for any info.

no crafting profession just NPC crafters

might help a bit

edit

save your dyes for later as they have value

you can use any weapon but if it has a requirement you dont meet it will have a penalty (but can be used)

highly salvagable means you should get more than 1 of a material say 3 iron ingots rather than only 1

Thanks Lovi
Bouncing around there, I found some other nice articles here as well:
