Professions

4 professions · 10 specializations

Beta 0.7.2

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.

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:

XP to next level = 40 × L + 3 × L²
LevelXP to the next levelTotal XP to reach it

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

ActionProfessionXP

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.
