Are gathering/crafting skills worth picking up?

I'm leveling scav now, so you're right you can still do it at lvl 15.
Talisman making is fine at any lvl right?

Have fun!

Pretty sure Tali making is fine whenever, tho I have nvr tried it on hilvls. My only real Tali maker started pretty much immediately. I have a second toon w/the skill, but IDK if will bother to lvl Tali 2x.

BTW, when your Scav lvl is 26, you can move to higher lvl mobs, IIRC, to get the 26 - 50 Scav items. Not sure where the line is drawn. I had thought it was every 5 lvls of mob, you get a Scav item lvl increase, but it might be every 3. Not sure.

Thanks!

Anything else I HAVE to do before I reach lvl 16?

Tali Making and Apoc are great. I just hit 200 apoc on my destro toon :> people charge silly prices for potions/talis.
