The Crafting Interface

After choosing a vocation you will be able to open your 'crafting panel', where there are 3 tabs at the top - one for each trade in your vocation -





Clicking on each tab will bring up its trade known recipes. You will start out an apprentice in each of your trades. As you begin to use your crafting you will gain experience which will in time become to the maximum amount of experience then you may have to do a quest to carry on to get to your next crafting tier. After gaining proficiency at a trade you will have the right to become a master at that trade tier, but we will go into that in more detail later on.

When highlighting a recipe, the bottom half of the box will list the materials,tool and required crafting station.
It also tells you the amount of crafting experience that will be gained in one creation of the item. When you have the required materials, a crafting tool equiped in the 'craft tool slot' and are near the required crafting station (if needed). You just select the item you want to create and then press the make button and sit back as the animations pass by.
