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
2,940 1 1 Chisel marks in a standing stone, filled with ochre and blood. The runecarver's lore begins to stir beneath the fog.
2,940 1 2 At the heart of the carvers' hall, a great stone hums with old power. Its runes were cut when Yggdrasil was young.
2,940 1 3 Runes burned into iron and bone. The carver's craft reaches into deeper mysteries, where wisdom costs dearly.
2,940 1 4 The marks of the Allfather himself are said to be traced on these walls. Few carvers dare to read them aloud.
2,940 1 5 A rune-stone half sunk in the moss, its carvings still sharp. Some of the old carvers' knowledge survives here.
2,940 1 6 Futhark letters glow faintly in the lamplight. Old carvers knew which runes bind and which unleash.
