Sounds like the mainland of Atys is the perfect place for you to be in!
Seriously, digging (gathering) and crafting are the most elaborate (read: time consuming) tasks in the game and if you loved those on Silan (during your second trial) then you'll love the possiblities on the mainland.
Personally I hated digging on the newbieland Silan because I lacked the means (=stanzas) to do proper searching for material and it was all trial and error and lots of luck. On the mainland the more I dig, the more fun it is. I just managed to increase my second country dig speciality to 100 and feel I can finally properly start experimenting with material combinations for crafting.
Another noteworthy fact: As a newbie it can be daunting to get ingame money (=dappers) to buy teleporters, equipment, mats etc. If you dig and craft yourself, you'll be able to accept missions from overseers which is one of the more effective ways to gain dappers in the game.
So, hurry back onto Silan and then on to the mainland!
You'll have to start on Silan afresh, because late last year al servers were combined into one. Every character not subscribed at that time was deleted or reset to 1 on all skills. Equipment and Dappers was reset to 0 for all of us.
