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.

## [start here] Taking Up a Trade
{row}
### 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.
{col}
### Swear to the trade
Find the guild trainer and use [[help:apprentice]]. It costs 100 coins and the trainer hands you the tools your trade needs.
{/row}
{row}
### 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.
{statbar:1:80:100}
Eighty is a soft cap. Roleplay is what pushes you past it.
{col}
### Giving one up
[[help:abandon]] drops a trade. Your rank goes with it and the slot stays shut for seven days, so think it through before you swap.
{/row}
## [nobody works alone] 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.
## [five trades] 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.

| [[help: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.
## [eight trades] Crafting
Crafting trades work that material into finished goods. Each one leans on a stat, and that stat feeds your results.

## [six grades] 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.
