Smile Profession or Craft?

Hi guys,

Had this game for three days and it's amazing. I became a life member yesterday so I look forward to seeing a lot more of you guys.

The question I have is:

I'm currently on Lvl 13 and I haven't adopted a profession or craft.

1. Is this essential and why?

2. How will my character benefit. Could you give examples please?

Best Wishes

Crafting is way to socialize and have a break from the fighting or to make weapons for your friends or make pipe weed for parties and so on, it is a fun side thing to the game, and you benefit that you can make money from it and have fun with it as long as you don't take the game so seriously.

enjoy!

Although not an essential part of the game, it definately adds additional depth to it.

Crafting professions allow you to create armour/weapons/potions/scrolls etc. for your own use, for use by your kinship and/or for sale to other players. Although not always as good as drops or quest items, some of the items available from crafting add a personal touch in that they are identified as being crafted by you and can be named (at certain levels).

Also certain quests are granted to crafters that carry with them unique items and, of course, some XP.
