Tradeskills / Crafting

Alchemy

Alchemy gives players the ability to craft potions, poisons, dyes, and tinctures. Poisons are primarily used by the assassin classes (Infiltrator, Shadowblade, and Nightshade) for dealing extra damage and negative effects on their targets. A potion is basically a bottled spell, which will cast itself upon the user when consumed. Dyes can be used on armors, shields, and cloaks to change their color. Tinctures are used to place special spells on other crafted items, in the form of charges, procs, and reactive procs.

Armorcrafting

Armorcrafters from the different realms use the strongest materials available to produce heavier armors, such as chain or plate. An Armorcrafter's final product may be magically enhanced through Spellcrafting.

Fletching

Fletching focuses on the creation of bows, staves, and musical instruments. The archer classes (Scout, Hunter, and Ranger) may find this craft the most useful as they can craft bows to use as their ranged weapon of choice.

Spellcrafting

Spellcrafting gives players the ability to craft magical gems that imbue their armor and weapons with enhancements to various skills and attributes suited to one's character.

Tailoring

Lighter types of armor, such as Cloth and Leather, may be crafted by the Tailors of the Realms. Tailors use various cloths and leathers to craft armor for casters, rogues, and other light tank classes. Much like Armorcrafting, the products of a Tailor may also be spellcrafted to become many times more powerful.

Weaponcrafting

Weaponcrafting focuses on creating powerful weapons such as swords and spears. The weapons created by Weaponcrafters may also be spellcrafted to become more powerful.

Siegecraft

Siegecrafting was completely revamped and fleshed out into a full tradeskill in version 1.90. Recipes now range from 5 to 1000 skill, covering everything from weak, makeshift devices to fully fortified engines of war. This even includes a few infernal devices discovered by making use of Demon Seal Fragments scattered across Agramon Island.

Tradeskills and Their Secondaries

Choosing a primary tradeskill no longer locks you out of working on the other tradeskills. As of version 1.89 it is possible to be a Legendary Grandmaster of every tradeskill on a single character.
