Gathering, processing and production

Hi again,

1., Gathering, processing
Resources are broken up into two classes, Common Resources and Rare resources. Common resources start out gatherable at level 1 and a new tier is available usually every 6 subsequent levels later (Level 1, 8, 14, 20, 26, 32, 38, 44, 50, 56). Rare resources start out also gatherable at level 1 but a new tier is available every subsequent 10 levels (1, 11, 21, 31, 41, 51, 61). Common resources are easily available within the area that they spawn in and the nodes are always at the same locations. Occasionally a node that spawns a common resource will instead spawn a rare resource that is in the same general level range as the common resource that normally spawns there.
  1. Mining -> Smelting
    Have you ever experienced the happiness of mining under the shining sun as sweat rolls off your brow? Perhaps you've felt a different kind of joy from toiling away deep underground? Do you want to learn mining?

    Good! Seldom do I meet someone who agrees so heartily! I can't keep track of how many people have already been scared away today...
    Don't think that mining is just for physical exercise! Sure, mining is tiring work, but the ores you gather through mining, once smelted, can be used to make all kinds of weapons, armor and other equipment. This is a very useful skill.
    Mining is very simple: just click on any pile of ore you come across!
    Now head out and unleash that miner's blood in you! Good luck!

    Mining Ore
    When observing your surroundings, those things that can be gathered will glow or glitter. You can also adjust the minimap settings to make collection points appear on the map. Click on the settings button on the minimap, then select which resources you want to display from the drop down menu. As you travel around, you will easily be able to see these resources on your minimap.
    I can certainly teach you some basic techniques, but mining is tough! First you must find a mineral vein suitable for the level of your skills. Then left-click the vein to start mining.

    Smelting
    Smelting requires a lot of patience and concentration! Directly using ores mined out of the ground is not enough, products require ore in a purer state. This is when refining ores is important.
    You can find the "Smelting" skill in the "Normal" tab on the "Skill" interface. Then when you are on the smelting page choose the recipe on the left side. Then in the lower right part of the page, select the quantity to be produced. If you have enough materials in your backpack, press "Craft" to begin work! However, you need to be near Blacksmithing Tools to do this. You can learn smelting recipes from a mining instructor.

    Mining summary
    Mining Resources appear as a rock on your mini-map.
    When using ore for recipes, it will need to be refined first.
    To refine ore, your character needs to possess the correct recipe for doing so.
    Recipes can be purchased from the various mining instructors found in the major cities in the game.
    For ore, the refining recipes are Sand, Nugget, and Ingot.
    Each recipe needs to be purchased separately, and you can only purchase recipes equal to or less than the level of your mining skill.
  2. Woocutting -> Woddcrafting
    Filling your lungs withb song when cutting wood gives you more strength, not to mention it helps to pass the time.

    You want to learn lumberjacking? Do you want to learn singing too? Singing is my real expertise!
    What? You just want to learn lumberjacking?
    Oh, alright... Well, lumberjacking is definitely a great skill to learn! The wood you get from lumberjacking, once crafted, can be used to make weapons, armor and other equipment.
    Just click on any suitable trees you find to harvest them for lumber!
    You should head out and try it now. When we lumberjacks say go, it's time to go! Hehe....

    Harvesting Wood
    When observing your surroundings, those things that can be gathered will glow or glitter. You can also adjust the minimap settings to make collection points appear on the map. Click on the settings button on the minimap, then select which resources you want to display from the drop down menu. As you travel around, you will easily be able to see these resources on your minimap.
    Those who look down on woodcutting would also be the first to break down in tears from actually doing it! To cut wood, find a suitable tree and then left-click on it.

    Woodcrafting
    Woocutting requires a lot of patience and concentration!
    Freshly-chopped wood can not be directly used to make products. You need to first prepare the wood through woodcrafting.
    You can find the "Woodcutting" skill in the "Normal" tab on the "Skill" interface. Then when you are on the woodcutting page choose the recipe on the left side. Then in the lower right part of the page, select the quantity to be produced. If you have enough materials in your backpack, press "Craft" to begin work! However, you need to be near Carpentry Tools to do this. you can learn woodcrafting recipes from a woodcutting instructor.

    Woodcutting Summary
    Woodcutting Resources appear as a log on your mini-map.
    When using wood for recipes, it will need to be refined first.
    To refine wood, your character needs to possess the correct recipe for doing so.
    Recipes can be purchased from the various woodcutting instructors found in the major cities in the game.
    For wood, the refining recipes are Timber, Lumber, and Plank.
    Each recipe needs to be purchased separately, and you can only purchase recipes equal to or less than the level of your woodcutting skill.
  3. Herbalism -> Extraction
    Do you want to learn herb collection?
    I think you have made a wise choice. Whether for alchemical potions or simply for food, herbs are indespensible.
    Collecting them is simple! Just click on any herbs you come across.
    But pay attention, because sometimes herbs look just like regular grass, so you might walk right past them. Keep your eyes open.
    Useful herbs are gifts from nature, so you should be grateful when you collect them.

    Gathering Herbs
    When observing your surroundings, those things that can be gathered will glow or glitter. You can also adjust the minimap settings to make collection points appear on the map. Click on the settings button on the minimap, then select which resources you want to display from the drop down menu. As you travel around, you will easily be able to see these resources on your minimap.
    Collecting herbs requires patience and carefulness, and it seems you might be suitable for the job. When out in the wild, simply left-click on any herbs you find to begin collecting them.

    Extraction
    Extraction requires a lot of patience and concentration!
    The effectiveness of herbs harvested in the field is limited due to their low quality, so if you want to begin making herbal potions you will need higher-quality herbal ingedients. To produce these high-quality ingredients, we must know how to process herbs.
    You can find the "Extraction" skill in the "Normal" tab on the "Skill" interface. Then when you are on the Extraction page choose the recipe on the left side. Then, in the lower right part of the interface, select the quantity to be produced. If you have enough materials in your backpack, press "Craft" to begin work! However, you need to be near Alchemy Tools to do this. you can learn extraction recipes from a herbalist instructor.

    Herbalism Summary
    Herb Resources appear as a bundle of grass on your mini-map.
    When using herbs for recipes, it will need to be refined first.
    To refine herbs, your character needs to possess the correct recipe for doing so.
    Recipes can be purchased from the various herbalism instructors found in the major cities in the game.
    For herbs, the refining recipes are Bundle, Sap, and Extract.
    Each recipe needs to be purchased separately, and you can only purchase recipes equal to or less than the level of your herbalism skill.

2., Production
Crafting allows you to create armor, weapons, food, potions, and other items. There are six production professions:

  1. Alchemy
    "Alchemy is the art of manipulating life, and consciousness in matter, to help it evolve, or to solve problems of inner disharmonies." - Jean Dubuis

    Or in the world of Taborea, it is the art of gathering various herbs and regents to later be combined in a boiling cauldron
    to create powerful potions to aid your allies, or possibly hinder your enemies.

    Like other crafting skills, you must not only have the recipe, and listed ingredients, but you must also be -at- a crafting station.

    Remember, crafting stations are always marked by the giant neon green arrow which is also bouncing. Above which is a floating icon of the applicable trade. For alchemy, we are looking for bubbling cauldrons, and boiling beakers. Alchemy recipes for level 11 and above will require the use of 1 Blend Rune.
  2. Armor Crafting
    Everybody needs some protection!
    Armorcrafting is a wide field to master, but if you practice diligently, you may one day enter the circle of the great masters.
    To craft armor, you first need to be near Armorcrafting Tools (See Below). Just look for the green arrow with the hammer icon floating above it. Go to "Crafting" in the system menu and select "Armorcrafting". Then select the item you want to create and the quantity.
  3. Blacksmithing
    Blacksmithing looks very difficult, but with the proper techniques, anyone can do it!
    You can find the "Blacksmithing" skill in the "Normal" tab on the "skill" interface. In the Blacksmithing production interface, where you can select the items you want to produce from the production list on the left of the interface. Then, in the lower right part of the interface, select the quantity to be produced. If you have enough materials in your backpack, press "Craft" to begin work! However, you will need to be near Blacksmithing Tools for any kind of blacksmithing. (Such as those below)
    Go try it! Strike while the iron's hot!
  4. Carpentry
    Carpentry requires a lot of patience and concentration!
    You can find the "Carpentry" skill in the "Normal" tab on the "Skill" interface. In the Carpentry
    production interface list on the left side of the interface. Then, in the lower right part of the interface, select the quantity to be produced. If you have enough materials in your backpack, press
    "Craft" to begin work! However, you need to be near Carpentry Tools to do this. Carpentry recipes for level 11 and above will require the use of 1 Link Rune.
  5. Cooking
    Mmmmmm... Delicious! Did the aroma of a delicious meal lure you here? Do you want to be able to make such food?
    you can learn the Cooking skill from a Cooking Instructor.
    Cooking is the origin of life and fire is it's soul. To learn how to cook you need to learn how to master the fire!
    Cooking is a skill that can bring energy to people. So let's jump into the wonderful world of cooking!
    To cook, go to the "Normal" tab of the skill interface and select "Cooking". You can find the food and desserts you can create. You also need to be near Cooking Tools and to have the proper ingredients ready. Once you have all these things then you're ready! Cooking recipes for level 11 and above will require the use of 1 Activate Rune.
  6. Tailoring
    ust like in the real world, in Taborea, fashion is everything.
    Do you want to learn tailoring? The options are endless with tailoring if you choose this path.
    To tailor, you first need to be near Tailoring Tools (See Below). Just look for the green arrow with the thread and needle icon floating above it. Go to "Crafting" in the system menu and select "Tailoring". Then select the item you want to create and the quantity. Tailoring recipes for level 11 and above will require the use of 1 Disenchant Rune.

Production recipes
There are two ways to acquire production recipes. First, you can learn some basic recipes directly from production skill instructors. Second, you may be able to buy rare recipes from merchants during your travels, or even find them on monsters you slay. Right-click on a recipe in your inventory to learn it.
Production recipes level 11 and higher require a production rune ingredient.

  • Alchemy - Blend Rune
  • Armor Crafting - Purify Rune
  • Blacksmithing - Frost Rune
  • Carpentry - Link Rune
  • Cooking - Activate Rune
  • Tailoring - Disenchant Rune

Carfting levels
Crafting skills include gathering skills such as mining, woodcutting and herbalism, and production skills such as blacksmithing, carpentry, armorcrafting, tailoring, cooking and alchemy.
Every type of crafting skill has 4 tiers of availability:

  • Level 1-20 Apprentice
  • Level 20-40 Craftsman
  • Level 40-60 Adept
  • Level 60-80 Master

Note: to become a master at a crafting skill you have to talk to a master instructor for your craft, but the master instructors are not in game, so you can not be master level yet.
For each crafting skill, the more experience you have using it, the more your skill level will increase. However, once you hit the upper skill level limit for your tier, you will not be able to continue increasing levels in this way. Instead, you must first be promoted to the next tier by passing a special test.
Basically, you will be able to reach the apprentice tier for every skill. However, only six skills can be raised to the craftsman tier, only three skills can be raised to the adept tier and only one skill may be raised to the master tier.
If you have maxed out the number of crafting skills you can have at a given ability tier (craftsman tier is limited to 6 skills, the adept tier is limited to 3 skills, and the master tier is limited to 1 skill), but you would like to promote another skill to that tier, you must first demote one of your current skills.
For example, if your mining blacksmithing and carpentry skills have reached the adept tier, but you would now like to raise your armorcrafting skill to the adept tier, you must first demote either mining, blacksmithing or carpentry to the craftsman tier. Only then can you raise your armorcrafting skill to the adept tier.
Once you have demoted a skill's tier, that skill's level will drop to the upper limit of its new tier level. In other words, if you demote a skill from the adept to craftsman tier, that skill's level will drop to level 40. This means that if you want to raise that skill to the adept level again in the future, you will need to start training it from level 40 once more.
