Crafting and gathering are fundamental to the Gloria Victis economy and character progression. You can specialize in various professions:
- Woodcutting: Chop trees for logs, used in carpentry and construction.
- Mining: Mine ore and stone, essential for blacksmithing and engineering.
- Farming/Herbalism: Gather plants and herbs for alchemy and cooking.
- Skinning: Obtain hides from animals for leatherworking.
- Blacksmithing: Craft weapons and heavy armor.
- Leatherworking: Craft medium and light armor.
- Carpentry: Craft bows, shields, and siege engines.
- Alchemy: Brew potions and concoctions.
- Cooking: Prepare food for buffs and healing.
To gather, equip the appropriate tool (axe, pickaxe, sickle) and interact with resource nodes. To craft, use a crafting station in a city or outpost. Leveling up your crafting skills allows you to create higher-tier items, which can be sold for profit or used to equip yourself and your guildmates. Always keep your tools repaired!
