Crafting

Note that one player can only get 2 crafting professions out of the ones listed below.

* Weaponsmith

Picking up this trade allows you to craft various types of weaponry, from swords to staffs, from daggers to crossbows. Everything needed to kill your opponents!

* Armorsmith

If you wish to go the completely opposite route from the weaponsmith, try picking up the armorsmithing craft that allows you to craft various types of armor pieces.

* Alchemist

Do you enjoy mixing things into vials and seeing how the result affects people? Then you should try your luck at alchemy, allowing you to make various types of potions.

* Architect

City-building is an integral part of Age of Conan, and you will need someone skilled in the arts of architecture to draw up the plans needed for the different buildings.

* Gemcutter

Monsters tend to drop rough gems that the gemcutter can turn into powerful enchantments, and these can be placed into other crafted items to make them more potent.

Gathering

Gathering professions may be trained at level 20 from trainers in Poitain, Laceish Plains and Purple Lotus Swamp. The trainers will give you quests at each tier that allow you to harvest higher level materials. You may learn all six of the gathering professions.

The first tier quests involve gathering 20 of each respective resource. Upon turning each of those quests in, you will receive the tier 2 quests to gather a single rare drop of each respective type. Note that for all gathering quests the completion credit is for actually gathering the item. Purchased materials will not count towards the tier quests.

Note that trying to harvest any material too high for your current level results in a message that states that the character doesn't have the harvesting skill.
