What you’ll leave with
One manageable goal for your next play session.
Before you start
- No profession experience needed
Pick something you would enjoy doing
Would you rather collect things while exploring, make equipment, or prepare useful supplies? Start with the activity that sounds fun. You can learn the details as you go.
A small goal you enjoy is easier to follow than a long list of things you feel you should do.
Learn a few useful words
A profession is a skill such as Fishing or Tailoring. A recipe is the instruction for making something. Materials, sometimes called reagents, are the ingredients it uses. A skill-up is an increase in your profession’s skill number.
Once these words are familiar, recipe lists and crafting instructions are much easier to read.
Set a goal for one session
Try learning one recipe, making one useful item, or practicing a gathering skill for a while. Start from what your character can already do, and keep the goal small enough to finish today.
You can make progress without planning every level in advance.
Check what you need before you spend
For a craft, check that you can learn the recipe and read its materials list in game. Our profession pages can help you work out quantities. Start with a small batch, then see how it goes.
You avoid buying a pile of materials for something your character cannot make yet.
