Professions
4 professions · 10 specializations
Your account has 4 crafting professions. Each starts at level 1 and levels up from its workbench station, but the game has no window for them in this build: My save shows your levels.
The professions

Each card lists its specializations and their signature stats. Blacksmithing forges 8 slots and Jewelry 4; the forge's brackets open by the total number of items forged with both together, not by profession level (see forge).
Levels and XP
Every profession uses the same curve, and no level cap was found:
| Level | XP to the next level | Total XP to reach it |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 43 | 0 |
| 2 | 92 | 43 |
| 5 | 275 | 490 |
| 10 | 700 | 2,655 |
| 20 | 2,000 | 15,010 |
| 30 | 3,900 | 43,065 |
| 40 | 6,400 | 92,820 |
| 50 | 9,500 | 170,275 |
| 60 | 13,200 | 281,430 |
| 70 | 17,500 | 432,285 |
| 80 | 22,400 | 628,840 |
| 90 | 27,900 | 877,095 |
| 100 | 34,000 | 1,183,050 |
Level does little: Enchanting adds 2% to enchant values per level above 1, and level 100 in a profession earns its achievement. Forge rarity does not improve with level, and scroll tiers open by hero level (see Scroll).
Where XP comes from
| Action | Profession | XP |
|---|---|---|
| Forge an item | Blacksmithing or Jewelry | 531 (Lv 1 bracket) to 36,966 (Lv 100); see forge brackets |
| Brew a potion | Alchemy | Recipe Lv 1 336Recipe Lv 10 1,236Recipe Lv 25 3,816Recipe Lv 30 4,976Recipe Lv 40 7,746 |
| Enchant or infuse an item | Enchanting | Item Lv 1 112Item Lv 10 412Item Lv 20 936Item Lv 50 3,706Item Lv 100 12,322 |
XP per action is fixed by the item, bracket or recipe level, not by your profession level. A potion's recipe level is the higher of its effect's and its duration's level. Making a scroll gives no XP.
Specializations
Each profession has specializations, each with a signature stat (on the cards above). They have no effect in this build: the game has no screen to choose one, and the Scroll station lets you pick the stat of every scroll.
