That should be fine, you will have to buy materials off the gtn if you want to craft some of the better gear though.

Generally re-ing is for items you craft yourself, you buy a schematic for a green level item, then re hoping to get a schematic for a blue, then re that hoping to get a schematic for a purple. There is decent money to be made at it. even through the levelling process as a lot of players seem to ignore crafting for profit until endgame.
