Quick Tips

  1. Prioritize Herbalism or Mining early – These provide resources for potions/gear, boosting progress in other professions.
  2. Upgrade tools ASAP – Faster gathering = more XP/hour. Save gold for Steel-tier tools first.
  3. Stack profession quests – Accept multiple quests from the same NPC (e.g., Valorian Blazeheart) to save time.

How to Unlock Professions

  1. Reach Level 20 – Grind mobs or quests if below.
  2. Visit Wayshire NPCs:
    • Herbalist: Talk to Lyra Greenroot near the garden.
    • Hunter: Find Valorian Blazeheart by the arena.
  3. 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.
