Professions

Primary Professions

Each character can learn only two of the primary professions at a time. It is possible to unlearn a profession in order to start learning another, but any skill level or recipes learned will be lost in the process. By having more than one character it is possible to cover all of the primary professions, and mail items to one character that have been gathered or crafted on another.

Mining
