Professions

18 professions feed your gladiator gear, food, elixirs and scrolls. Every gather/craft action spends Profession Energy (PE), a shared pool that refills over time. Skill runs 1–100, gated softly so you can dabble in everything.

Start with the introduction quest

Every profession opens with a short introduction: read what the trade is for, perform its most characteristic action once, and see what comes out the other end. It answers the question the skill tables cannot — why is this one worth my time?

They are listed on the Quests tab under Trades, and the introduction also appears the first time you open a profession. Working through all 18 pays 2,510 gold and 686 character experience, on top of the trade skill you gain and the items you keep. That is a deliberately generous purse for a new gladiator: it is meant to cover the cost of trying every trade before you commit to one.

The maker's name stays on crafted gear

Every weapon, piece of armour and trinket newly made at a crafting bench carries the crafting gladiator's name. Crafted by appears on the item, its hover card and any market listing, and the name stays with that exact item through every later sale. Gear that existed before maker marks were introduced has no invented attribution.

Gathering

Mining Extract ore and the occasional gem from veins across the realm. Woodcutting Fell trees for logs that fletchers and jewelers turn into gear. Herbalism Pick herbs used in healing draughts and combat elixirs. Fishing Land fish that cooks prepare into stat-boosting dishes. Skinning Hunt beasts for hides and meat used in leather and cooking. Harvesting Pull flax, wool and silk from field, pasture and shore for the weavers.

Processing

Smelting Smelt raw ore into the metal bars that arm every warrior. Tanning Cure raw hides into the leather every grip, quiver and strap is cut from. Weaving Weave raw fibre into the cloth that robes and tomes are made of. Woodworking Saw logs into the planks that carry every bow, wand and tome. Alchemy Transmute three of a lesser raw material into one of the next tier up.

Crafting

Smithing Forge melee weapons, heavy armor, and shields from bars. Leatherworking Stitch leather armor and quivers for skirmishers. Tailoring Sew cloth armor and tomes for spellcasters. Crafting Set gems into rings and amulets for every fighter. Cooking Turn fish and meat into feasts that sharpen a gladiator in battle. Enchanting Break gear down into dust, refine it into essence, and bind scrolls that permanently upgrade your own equipment. Fletching Craft bows, crossbows and arrows for ranged combat.
