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.
| Held at level | Trial | Bring | Reward |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | Culinarian Trial I | 2x Apple of Accuracy | 10,000 gold |
| 6 | Culinarian Trial II | 2x Deep Iron Stew | 30,000 gold |
| 9 | Culinarian Trial III | 2x Hearthfire Banquet | 60,000 gold |
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.
| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
| Craft | Opens 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. |
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.
| Level | Perk | In game | What you have from this level |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Practised Hands | Break down gear anywhere. | new: break gear down anywhere (Ctrl+Shift+V) |
| 2 | Thrift I | 5% to recover a material. | 5% chance to recover a material |
| 3 | Steady Work | 5% for a second item. | 5% chance to recover a material; 5% chance of a second item |
