How Professions Work

How Professions Work

Professions let you gather materials in the world and craft equipment from them. They are a core part of the game’s economy: with them you can create weapons, armor, robes, and ammunition without relying solely on monster drops.

The Six Professions

There are 6 professions split into two groups:

Profession Type What it does
Miner Miner Gathering Extracts ores from the ground
Lumberjack Lumberjack Gathering Chops trees
Skinner Skinner Gathering Collects cloth and leather
Blacksmith Blacksmith Crafting Forges weapons, armor, and metal ammunition
Tailor Tailor Crafting Sews robes and light clothing
Carpenter Carpenter Crafting Crafts bows, shields, and wooden armor

Gathering professions (Miner, Lumberjack, Skinner) are used by clicking nodes on the map. Crafting professions (Blacksmith, Tailor, Carpenter) are used from the inventory.

Professions by Class

Characters do not start with professions: you must learn them from the Professions NPC. Each character can have at most 2, so choose carefully. These are the recommended pairings per class, as they match the gear each class typically uses:

Class Recommended professions
Mage Mage SkinnerTailor
Paladin Paladin MinerBlacksmith
Assassin Assassin MinerBlacksmith
Warrior Warrior MinerBlacksmith
Archer Archer LumberjackCarpenter
Priest Priest LumberjackCarpenter

How to Learn (or Change) Professions

To learn your first profession or swap one you already have, talk to the Professions NPC in any of these cities:

  • Ullathorpe (map 1)
  • Nix (map 34)
  • Livinpire (map 66)
  • Pole (map 46)
  • Evilok (map 70)
  • Newbie City (map 101)

Important rules:

  • You can only have 2 professions at a time, and they must be different.
  • You can abandon a profession to learn another in its place.
  • When learning a new profession from scratch, you start at 0 skill.

The Skill System

Each profession has an independent skill level that increases when you gather materials or craft items.

  • Each successful action grants +5 skill.
  • The reference cap is 200: at 200 skill you can gather all materials and craft everything available in the game.
  • The counter can keep rising above 200, but it does not unlock anything extra.

Skills Required to Gather

Skills for Crafting

Each craftable item requires a minimum skill (and character level). High-end items typically need between 150 and 200 skill. You can check what you can craft from the professions menu in your inventory — only recipes you qualify for are shown.

Materials and Where to Find Them

The three gathering types share the same 4 material tiers, spread across world zones. Nodes spawn dynamically on enabled maps; when you gather one, another respawns on a valid map.

Tier 1 — Skill 0

Materials: Iron, Wood, Cloth

Zones: Most of the early-game world — forests around Ullathorpe and Nix, castles, catacombs, Pole, newbie zone, and more.

Tier 2 — Skill 50

Materials: Silver, Oak wood, Leather

Zones: Same general areas as tier 1, except the pure newbie zone (maps 101-104). Includes forests, castles, desert, catacombs, Pole, Mystic Forest, and more.

Tier 3 — Skill 100

Materials: Gold, Mystic wood, Mystic cloth

Zones: Mid-to-high level areas — Desert (15, 17, 20, 21), Pole (44, 45), Infernal Forest (54-56), Mystic Forest (60, 62), Veril (71-73), Atlantis (106), and Dragon Cave (107-111).

Tier 4 — Skill 180

Materials: Eternite, Ethereal wood, Ethereal cloth

Zones: The most dangerous areas in the game — Infernal Forest (54-56) and Deep Veril (71-73).

Special Materials (Gathering Bonuses)

When gathering, there is a chance to receive extra rare materials used in advanced recipes:

ProfessionPossible bonus
MinerDiamond / Blue diamond
LumberjackAmber / Mystic amber
SkinnerBramante thread / Eternal thread

How to Gather Materials

  1. Make sure you have learned the matching gathering profession and enough skill.
  2. Enter a map where nodes of that material exist (you will see resources on the ground).
  3. Click the node to gather it.
  4. The material goes straight to your inventory and your skill increases by +5.

How to Craft Items

  1. Obtain the required materials (by gathering or buying from other players).
  2. Open your inventory and press the professions button (hammer/tool icon).
  3. Select the crafting profession and choose an available recipe.
  4. If you have the materials and meet the level and skill requirements, the item is created in your inventory.

When crafting, skill updates in real time and newly unlocked recipes appear instantly in the menu.

Practical Tips

  • Start gathering in forests near cities; iron, wood, and cloth are found on almost every early map.
  • Do not sell rare bonus drops (diamonds, amber, threads) without checking recipes first — they are key for high-level gear.
  • At 200 skill you can gather and craft everything; until then, focus on zones and materials that match your current skill level.
  • Materials and crafted items can be traded with other players, making professions a very profitable source of gold.
