Professions

Your character can now learn up to two of four trades - Jewelcrafting, Blacksmithing, Tailoring and Alchemy - and each one levels from 1 to 10 independently of your character level. Press J to choose.

Levelling a trade is meant to take a while. You start by refining stones and materials, and the equipment recipes unlock further up the ladder.

Workbenches

Five workbenches are now live in the world. Walk up to one and press E:

• Anvil and forge - Forge
• Loom and cutting table - Weave
• Alembic - Distill
• Hearth and pantry - Cook
• Gem setting bench - Set Gems

Each station only shows what it can actually make, grouped by tier, so you can see what comes next and exactly how many trade levels you are from it.

A crafting chain that makes sense

A weapon no longer appears out of a heap of raw ore. You smelt the ingot, forge the blade, wrap the grip - and only then does the weapon exist. Bows need a stave, staves need a core, shields need a plate.

200 jewellery recipes

Every piece of jewellery in the game can now be crafted. Each one asks for its setting plus the crystal of its bloodline: crimson for Vajrahn, emerald for Yodha, sapphire for Elunar, amethyst for Sahira, and amber for the wanderers. Ten tiers, one per trade level, from Bronze to Aeon.

Fixes

• Health no longer jumps when you equip gear or rank up a skill. Passive bonuses were being removed and re-applied, and the gap was quietly costing you health every time.
• The keyboard no longer dies after clicking a button or closing a window. HUD buttons were stealing keyboard focus and movement stopped responding until you clicked back into the world.
• Recipes tab: filters and a search box. With 178 recipes a single list was not navigable.
• Materials now show how many you have inside the item icon, so four ingredients fit on a row.
• Talents and Professions windows reworked to match the rest of the interface.
