Lifeskills and part-time jobs

Ascon's part time job, thick-spar part-time job. The new player can have the task/ptj but will not be able to do anything nor use anything since the recipe is not available to them. Is one reason I want to address this. There is also light silk part time job that was finally unlocked until I got weaving at a higher rank.

Part-time jobs effectively do not check your skill rank, so that can happen, yes. That doesn't mean the skills are interdependent the way you describe it.
