The other crafts are mostly used for skins, while tailoring and weaponsmithing specifically are used for crafting extendable materials. Both are easy to level since you can use all (alchemy) or some (cooking) of the things you craft while levelling these up.

Personally, I recommend alchemy, up to 499, and cooking, to 500. In short, essencetapping and aethertapping are both used for crafting, but even if you have no plans of doing that, you might be able to make some kinah through gathering or morphing certain materials other crafters need. Additionally, every 100 points (so at 99, 199, 299 and 399), you'll need to head back to Pandaemonium to talk to the Master Gatherer (in the Temple of Artisans) to level up your tapping skill for a small fee.
