Mastery trials

This trade cannot pass level 3, 6 or 9 until you finish that level's trial with Jacks in Gaiyan Town. Each asks for two pieces of your own work from the level being tested. Your experience keeps banking while a trial is outstanding - it is the level that waits, not the bar.

Skills

Holding this trade puts these in your Skills tab. Log out and back in after taking a new trade - the skill list only picks it up on the next login.

SkillWhat it does
CraftOpens your crafting profession's workbench wherever you are. You must have an active crafting profession; retiring it takes this skill back. Costs nothing and has no cooldown -- the work itself is the cost. Appears in your skill list after you relog with the trade active.
ReinforceOpens the reinforce window wherever you are. Reinforcing an item your trade makes (Blacksmith, Weaver, Woodworker or Jeweler) adds +1% success per trade level, up to +10%. Granted while you practise one of those trades. Appears in your skill list after you relog with the trade active.

Perk ladder

Each level unlocks the perk on its row. The last column is what you actually have at that level: a perk never lowers a value an earlier one gave you, so a strong level-6 signature carries on until something beats it. A perk marked new is unlocked once and stays.
