Professions Progression

As mentioned earlier, you can only max out certain professions to their fullest potential. This is done to create a specific dependency on the community, forcing players to interact with others to source their needed materials. Here's how it works:

  • All players will have 22 Professions at Novice.
  • Players can only level 5 of them into Apprentice Certification.
  • Players can only level four of them into Journeyman Certification.
  • Players can only get three of them into Master Certification.
  • Players can only get two of them into Grandmaster Certification.

 

Due to the limitations, we advise players to research the market and trading trends before deciding what Profession to specialize in.
