Manufacturing is a chain of processes that gathers raw materials from nature and transfers it into something useful. In Socio you often have characters who specialize in harvesting and others who specialize in manufacturing because harvesting often goes hand in hand with fighting skills, since harvesters have to venture out into areas that are full of hostile NPCs. However nothing keeps you from creating a Toon that can harvest and manufacture. As always, the choice is up to you.
