� Skills involved in Professions
- Main Skill : The basic skill of Profession system
- Secondary Skill: Player can learn if they reach a certain mastery level of the main skill. (Part of 1^st Profession Skill, it's more efficient than main skill.)
- Aid Skill: Players can aid other players to use Profession skills by using this skill. It can be learned if they reach certain level of mastery of main skill.(Part of Processing Skill, it's very helpful to increase skill mastery)
- Master Skill : Reward skill, for mastering one of Profession skill

� 1^st Profession Skill: Gathering
A. What is Gathering Skill?
- Players can obtain harvested items by using gathering tools instead of weapons. Players can use the harvested items to create ingredients for useful items that can be used to upgrade armors and weapons.
- Items obtained from Gathering Skill are needed for Processing and Production skills.
- There are no monsters in gathering map, so players can safely equip gathering tools instead of weapons.

B. Learning 1^st Profession skill, Gathering
i. Profession NPC
- You can learn Profession skills from Producer NPC, Midas at the Northeast area of Port of Winds.
ii. Conditions and Expense on 1^st Profession skill, Gathering
- Minimum Character Level to learn Profession skill: Character completed 1^st Job Class Promotion (If a player is not qualified to learn the skill, required condition will be shown in Red on the skill list window.)
- Prerequisite to learn Aid Skill: Character must have 1^st main skill at level 300 or higher.
- Gold required to learn 1^st Profession Skill : 2 Gold,
(When additional Profession Skill is learned, the expense will be 2.5 times more expensive than previous expense.)

Example:
Learn "Logging" Skill = 2 Gold
Then to learn "Metal Mining" Skill on the same character = 5 Gold
Then to learn "Herb Gathering" Skill on the same character = 12.5 Gold
And so on:
iii. Using Manuals to learn skills
- To obtain certain items, the skill must be learned by purchasing the manual.
- The manuals can be purchased from NPC Midas, and once the skill is learned (right click the item) you can start to gather items you couldn't before.
- As skill level rises, more manuals are needed to obtain the higher level items. (The character's skill level must meet the minimum level required to use the manual)
- 1^st gathering item does not require a manual to start gathering. Higher mastery level items require the use of the manual.
C. Using 1^st Profession skill
i. Checking learned skill and using the right tools
- "H" hot-key can be used for the list of learned Profession skills.
- If you'd like to remove one of your skills, press H and click 'Delete' button next to the skill.
- Related 'Tool', 'Location' and 'Required Level' can be seen on the skill's description.
- 'Tools' for Profession skill can be bought through NPC Midas.
(Conversation with NPC Midas -> Click 'Shop')

(Make sure you purchase the correct tool that can be used for your Profession you learned.)
ii. Location for Gathering skills
- Gathering can only be done at the new gathering map accessible through a warp portal. The warp portal is located left of NPC Midas (Northwest area of Port of Winds)
iii. Using 1^st Profession skills
� Locating the right area to activate Profession skills
- At each area for gathering skill, there are signs that show required mastery level.
- The signs are separated into 5 levels (from 100 to 500). Players can activate their 1^st Profession skills if their skill level is equal to or higher than the posted sign.
Ex) If a player has 230 mastery of [Gathering] Logging skill:
- A can activate [Gathering] Logging skill where a tree has '200' sign

When a player has 'blue' effect on the ground, he can activate the skill.

- When you activate the skill, your character will keep using the skill until you cancel the action. (It means, once you activate the gathering skill, the character will keep going until you move the character.)
- Gathered items are stored in 'Misc Inventory'
- Gathered harvests are divided into 6 groups based on their qualities. And 5 kinds of harvests ([Lv.1] ~[Lv.5]) can be used for next Profession skill, 'Processing'.
<Tip> 'Lucky Place'
- Advantage of 'Lucky Place': Chance to obtain higher quality items.
- Locating 'Lucky Place' : it will appear randomly (and also disappear after certain amount of time)
� Learning Secondary Skill
(Screenshot: Character is using Secondary skill called [Gathering Booster] Chainsaw, which is Secondary skill of [Gathering] Logging.)
- What is Secondary skill? : Player can learn if they reach the required main gathering skill level. When Secondary skill activates, its possible to get 2 harvests in one attempt.
- Prerequisite to learn: Must reach the required main gathering skill level.
(Screenshot: When you check out skill list to learn, you can see each Secondary skill is listed right under the related main Gathering skill.

Ex) [Gathering] Logging's Secondary skill, [Gathering Booster] Chainsaw is listed under [Gathering] Logging (related main skill)
- Secondary skill can be learned after reaching 300 main gathering skill level
- After you learn Secondary skill, the secondary skill tool is needed (Purchase at NPC Midas), to use the skill.
- Below list shows Secondary skills and required tools.
- Secondary skill tools are equipped in the Shield slot.
- Secondary skill is a passive skill that is randomly activated.
(Therefore skill cannot be placed on the hotkey bar.)

[/steal-praises]

So there's a reward (Master skill) for mastering (level 500) skills?

And "Aid" skill = "Secondary" skill?
Or is there two different skills you get with a skill at 300?

Thanks for the detailed info on the learning costs though.

We have a much more detailed guide made, however, getting the images up is taking a much longer time. Since much of everyone will be in the Gathering area, we have the basic guide up. As for the Aid Skill, it's basically a buff that you can provide someone with when you're in their MyHome when you get your skill up to 300. It's an additional feature to help someone process their items and gain experience. It all depends on what profession path you have chosen.

The profession NPC is NORTHEAST of port of the wind.

And a little bug I guess? You can't equip the profession tool if you have a cash weapon equiped.

Okay, thanks for the clarification.
Looking forward to that guide.

As for the Aid thing, on IAH's side it's possible to Aid someone side as long as you have a processing skill learnt (regardless of skill level).
Guess there's some differences between IAH and here?

How long is the downtime during gathering? It keeps telling me 'gathering not possible right now'..?

That error happens when you try gathering from the glowing circles. Gather directly in line with the signs that say "100".

The glowing circles recharge, I believe they should offer a higher rate for goodies than the non glowing thing. ;=; Takes maybe 20 mins for them to light up again #11

[NozokiEmpire]

Is there any way to gain your fatigue back faster?

Unmarked I'm not quite sure on the reset time. My best guess is that its random, since I noticed a sub thirty second recharge.

When I first started fishing I tried near the dimly glowing circles and received that error, so I was just speaking from experience.

[HelpfulRay]

Sadly, nope, but it's put in place so we don't get to level 500 in like two days. ;=; Just wait till midnight for the 25% reset

What is the "lucky place?" How can we tell if that place is lucky or not?

[HelpfulRay]

if it's glowing, it's lucky. ;] Beside each gathering area, there should be a circle on the ground. if it's depleted of resources, it will be yellow with no overhanging purple glow, however, if there are goodies to be farmed, there will be a bright purple glow emmitting from it. You can stand directly atop these circles and gather from them in the same way you gather the normal non shiny, non glowy patches of dirt.

How do you use the production skills? D: For mining I have Mining > Jewel Refine > Alchemy but i don't know how to do it D:

First, you need to farm raw ore from the farming map to the left of midas, once you have a few level 3 or 4 ores, process them in your my home by purchasing 7 machines corresponding to your profession. Once that is done, you can take them back to midas and select "Item production" And that, is it!

[Nikusui]

Ohhhh ok, thank you~!
