Crafting is half of our professions system, which fans of MMOs and ARPGs will likely be very familiar with. Leveling up a profession happens in parallel with your character's progression. You'll be able to dismantle items found within the tower and use the resulting materials to craft different items more suited to your class and playstyle.
By leveling up, crafting professions unlock better item rarities, new item archetypes and enchantments, while gathering professions gain better passive boosts to their baseline perks and new perks.
Characters always have access to all professions, but may only incorporate one of the gathering professions at a time within dungeons.
Here is our planned content for the FINAL version of this feature:
CRAFTING
Forgemaster - Crafts general-use equipment such as weapons, armor, backpacks and accessories. Forgemasters are also able to enchant and reforge existing equipment in order to customize them to the player's needs.
Alchemist - Crafts Spellplates and Elixir Essences. Spellplates are combat-oriented consumables and elixir essences provide limited-use boosts to your Elixir. Only one elixir essence may be equipped at a time.
Cook - Crafts food-related items that can be consumed by a party before going into the dungeons to provide unique bonuses for the duration of the next match.
GATHERING
Miner

Mineral nodes show up on their minimap.

Herbalist

Survivalist

At launch, the Forgemaster profession will include its core features, with enchanting and reforging planned for future updates. Additional professions will be added over time as the game evolves.
