Quick Tips
- Prioritize Herbalism or Mining early – These provide resources for potions/gear, boosting progress in other professions.
- Upgrade tools ASAP – Faster gathering = more XP/hour. Save gold for Steel-tier tools first.
- Stack profession quests – Accept multiple quests from the same NPC (e.g., Valorian Blazeheart) to save time.
How to Unlock Professions
- Reach Level 20 – Grind mobs or quests if below.
- Visit Wayshire NPCs:
- Herbalist: Talk to Lyra Greenroot near the garden.
- Hunter: Find Valorian Blazeheart by the arena.
- Complete their starter quest (e.g., gather 10 herbs or kill 5 wolves).
Best Professions for Your Playstyle
- Solo Players: Brewer (longer potions) + Hunter (extra damage).
- Traders: Miner/Herbalist for selling rare ores/plants.
- AFK Grinders: Fisher (low effort, high-profit fish).
Pro Tip: Professions stack! Level Mining + Brewer to craft and sell potions for passive gold.
