Areas and stages

Each area of the profession on the craft tree can be revealed once you have earned enough craft XP in the profession. Your profession stage is the highest stage among the areas you have reached.

Craft XP Stage Area Lore
55 1 1 A humble straw skep hums at the meadow's edge. Patient keepers sometimes find a second queen stirring among the comb, ready to found a new hive.
184 2 2 Bees swarm in the warm hour after rain. Keepers who listen to the hive know when a young queen is about to rise from the brood.
547 3 4 Golden comb drips thick in the late summer sun. Honey from these hives fills the jars to the brim and sits heavy and sweet in a hungry belly.
908 4 3 Deep in the clover fields the hives divide and multiply. Each new queen carries the old colony's blessing into another skep.
1,594 5 7 The hives here never seem to sleep. Bees drone from first light to dusk, and the honey flows faster and more freely than elsewhere.
2,215 6 8 Old skeps stand in rows like the halls of a small kingdom. Honey overflows the combs, and young queens rise to rule new swarms.
3,726 8 6 The bees here work as if Odin himself awaits his mead. Comb fills quickly, and the hive repays its keeper sooner than seems natural.
4,969 9 5 At the meadow's heart stands a hive older than any rune-stone, and its bees never rest. Honey runs from it as swiftly as a spring thaw. This honey is said to be gathered from the flowers at Yggdrasil's roots. A single spoonful warms the blood and sustains a warrior through long marches.
