Get the Milquetowst Infocenter mod. The InfoCenter is a godsend for help with what tier harvested raw is used in and what is common and what is rare. If you're a Provisioner the included Cookbook is a great help. I believe there's help for Alchemy also plus there's a LOT of other great info in this mod. I use FetishNightfall and it includes this but even before I started using Fetish, which wasn't long after I started the game, I used the Milquetoast mod from Day One on the recommendation of a friend who also plays.
For good info on crafting you can also check out eq2traders at eq2.eqtraders.com it's a great site full of help.
And everyone is right, harvest as much as you can and sell what you aren't going to use, even if it's just for a few coppers it WILL add up and when you're brand new to the game every copper means something. As you level up with what you can harvest the prices go up and the prices on the market for rares can really astound you! Also, you can make deals with crafters who will make great stuff with the rares, or even the common stuff, and it will cost you a lot less than if you bought it on the market. My top level Provie has had a "business agreement" (I'm a rp'er) with another player who loves, loves, LOVES to harvest and it has benefited us both quite well. Good luck!
