Handicrafter

Rings, necklaces, orbs, bows, staves, fishing rods, marbles and monster cards - one crafting trade.

One of the nine professions. Every trade runs from level 1 to 10 and keeps its own level and experience; a character can hold all of them at once, from character level 20, for no gold.

The Handicrafter is the trade that used to be four: the Jeweler, the Woodworker, the Lapidary and the Cardist. It owns everything they made, at the same recipe levels. A character who held any of them now holds the Handicrafter at the highest level they had among the four.

• Fortuna: Gaiyan Town - monster cards, and the gathering tools
• Onyx: Gaiyan Town - marbles and marble clusters
• Alder: Gaiyan Town - fishing rods

Levels and ranks

Take the trade from the profession tab in the character window. Experience comes from every craft or gather the trade owns, and the amount depends on what you made or picked.

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.

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.

What it adds to what it makes

• +1 point of success per trade level (up to +10) when you reinforce an item this trade makes - at the NPC or with the Reinforce skill.
• 1 point per trade level (up to 10%) of chance that a soul charge keeps its [marble](/wiki/marbles).
• Monster cards this trade makes transform you 2% longer per trade level (up to +20%).

Recipes

371 recipes, by the craft-window category they sit in. The trade level is the level of this trade each recipe needs; the dungeon level in a category's name is the gear's, not yours.

The monster-card recipes each ask for three kinds of monster card. Only 2 of those 26 recipes use cards that monsters currently drop, so check the monster database before you set out to collect them.
