Professions

Thirteen trades run alongside your class. Five pull raw material out of the world. Eight turn that material into weapons, armor, food, and enchantment. You hold two at a time and no more, so a full workshop takes more than one person.

At a Glance

Milestone	What happens
Level 30	First slot opens. Gathering trades only.
Level 40	Second slot opens. Gather or craft, your pick.
Rank 80	Soft cap. Roleplay carries you past it.
Rank 100	Hard cap.

Taking Up a Trade

Two slots, no more

The first slot has to be a gathering trade and you take it at level 30. The second can be anything and you take it at level 40. Nothing before 30.

Swear to the trade

Find the guild trainer and use apprentice. It costs 100 coins and the trainer hands you the tools your trade needs.

Rank drives quality

Every trade carries a rank from 1 to 100. You rank up by working the trade, and rank is what decides how good the work comes out.

80

Eighty is a soft cap. Roleplay is what pushes you past it.

Giving one up

abandon drops a trade. Your rank goes with it and the slot stays shut for seven days, so think it through before you swap.

You Need Other Players

Two slots means you cannot make everything yourself. A fletcher needs a smith for arrowheads. An alchemist needs a herbalist for roots. Whatever you do not gather, you buy, barter, or beg off someone who does.

Gathering

Gathering trades take material straight out of the world. No workshop and no supplier. You need the right tool and the right place to stand.

Trade	Tool	What you pull	Trainer	Area
mining	pick, hammer	Ore, raw stone, uncut gems	Dhorvak Stonevein	Duergar City
woodcutting	axe	Lumber and bark	Harl Breenn, the master woodcutter	The Forward Keep
butchery	knife	Hide, sinew, bone, meat, the odd feather	Kharra Redhand	The Slaughterhouse
herbalism	sickle	Herbs, roots, mushrooms	Gryth	The Great Elf Valley
fishing	rod	Fish, scales, the rare pearl	Horgrim	The Dune Sea

Anyone can cast a line and land a common catch. The trade is what lands the fish worth keeping.

Crafting

Crafting trades work that material into finished goods. Each one leans on a stat, and that stat feeds your results.

Trade	Stat	What you make	Trainer	Area
blacksmithing	STR	Weapons, plate, chain, repair kits, weapon mods	Tobbin, the forgewright	Sanctuary of Contraptions
leatherworking	DEX	Armor, quivers, sheaths, bags, boots	Maelin Hidebinder	Everwild
tailoring	DEX	Robes, cloaks, hoods, soft armor	Mirelle, the exiled tailor	Isle of Exile
fletching	DEX	Bows, crossbows, arrows, throwing weapons	Gruk One-Eye	Mountain Trail
jewelcrafting	INT	Rings, amulets, socket stones, gem powder	Thuldrek, the dwarven lapidary	Khorandain
alchemy	INT	Potions, transmutes, poisons	Vaelira Moonveil, the lunar alchemist	Swamp
enchanting	INT	Enchanted gear and scrolls	Elaris, enchanter of the Fae	High Tower
cooking	WIS	Food that keeps and buffs that hold through a fight	Berronson	Flying Citadel

Quality

Everything you gather or make carries a quality grade, and the grade shows in the item's name. The ladder runs crude, rough, standard, fine, pristine, flawless. Higher rank gives better odds at the top end.

You can call a grade when you reach for something, like get fine sardine. Make something flawless and your maker's mark is struck into it.
