Huntsman and Leatherworker will definately cover a significant portion of your needs, but not all of them. If you wanted to craft a complete set of gear for your character, you would also need a Weaponsmith (swords, axes, daggers, and greatswords.) and Jewelery (amulet/rings/accessories). Cooking would allow you to craft some food which would give you various bonuses. For my first four characters, I just specialized in two crafting disciplines each until I had them all at 400+.
Also, there is a secondary type of “currency” called Karma. You can spend this at all of the heart-NPC’s for gear upgrades as well as with special Karma-vendors. In World vs. World, as an example, you can purchase Invader gear which has Power + Toughness + Vitality (depending on your level).
One extra tip: purchase some cheap food from some of the merchants as they will also give you bonus XP and help you level faster.
Good luck and welcome to GW2!
