Each character can choose a profession. There are two categories of professions, collecting and crafting. Collecting professions involve players going out into the wilderness collecting natural resources, such as wood and flowers. The crafting professions involve the player using different items, possibly resources collected from collecting professions, to make a vast array of different items. There is the only one profession that combines both aspects of professions, and that is Alchemist. A trade goes from level 1 to 100. As players gain levels new skills are gained. In crafting professions players upon reaching certain levels players increase the number of ingredients (slots) that can be used. In the harvesting professions upon reaching certain levels the player gains access to new resources in addition to increased number of ingredients (slots) that can be used. Players are able to learn up to three professions, but a new profession cannot be learned until existing professions are level 30 or higher. Lastly, crafting professions gain access to a special "magus" specialization at level 65. The magus specialization allows a crafter to modify the characteristics of the objects using smithmagic runes and potions.
