Core Features

Profession Advancement Tree

Base Paths:

1. Tradesman Path - Combat professions

Interlocking Crafting Dependencies

Professions depend on each other for crafting:

• Blacksmith crafts tools (pickaxes, axes, weapons) for all other professions
• Carpenter crafts containers, beds, and wooden structures
• Mason crafts bricks and decorative stone
• Miner provides raw materials to other professions
• Engineer requires items from both Blacksmith and Mason
• Diplomat needs items from Merchants and Masons

This creates a village economy where players must develop multiple professions.
