Am new to the game and crafting as well. Can someone explain to me just how to use the components you get from mining, foresting? Such as the brimstones, etc..I don't see any "instructions" on the component as to how or where to use them in my 2 craft skills..metalworking and tailoring
Thanks

I don't know exactly what "brimstones" are or where you would use them but for tailoring you will need the pelts collected from mobs and several store bought components like thread. For metalworking you will need the ore collected from the ore nodes you find in the ground and also some store bought components.
Crafting more advanced items will also require the use of some of the mob dropped crafting components like claws and teeth.
You can find out exactly what you'll need by examining your recipes. You can do this by clicking on the anvil icon at the bottom of your UI and then selecting one of the tabs like tailoring. Next click on one of the skill levels like apprentice and select one of the sub headings like light or medium armor. Finally, highlighting any one of the recipes listed there will show you what components are required to complete that recipe.
The components you have in your bags will light up as colored icons in the recipe while any you do not yet have in your bags will remain grayed out.

The materials like Brimstones, are commonly referred to as 'crit mats'. If you have a tier mastered these materials will allow you a better chance to achieve a critical combine on crafted items. You wont be able to use the master tab in the crafting menu until you master the tier. In the master tab there is a checkbox for critical material use and the % increase when using it.
It says EXACTLY what tier and what craft the item is used for in the tooltip when you cursor over it.
Brimstones are used for Metalsmithing (Heavy Armor, Shields, Craft tools). You can find them in Ore nodes if you are a prospector.
For the regular 'mats' you get from Prospecting and Forestry:
Ore nodes: You get chunks of ore that need to be smelted into ingots (prospecting). 2 chunks = 1 Ingot usually. There are other recipes for things like Bronze ingots. You can further refine iron ingots into steel: 1 *-iron Ingot + 1 coal = 1 *-steel ingot.
You will also find gems, dye components, coal and critical materials for Metalsmith, Jewelry and Weaponsmithing in ore nodes. It will list uses in the toopltips.
For Forestry, when you harvest wood nodes you will get peices of *wood. You need to treat the wood (forestry): 2 *wood + wax = finished piece (plank board?) which are used in woodworking recipes. You may also get resins, spider silk, among other things. There should be tooltips explaining which craft uses the items. You will also find crit mats in theses wood nodes for woodworking and tailoring. You cannot harvest wood or treat hides (2 hides = 1 leather) unless you have the Forestry craft. Non-foresters need to buy materials like leather or wood from other players. One thing most people do is have an alt that is an explorer to prospect and harvest wood/treat hides.
