Professions are jobs where the player will receive bonuses based on which profession you spend profession points on. Some professions also let the player buy and own businesses which will be explained in greater detail under the businesses page.

There are 13 professions to choose from and each one will have 9 levels of skill. You advance your profession by using profession points and the higher level your skill in that profession, the better bonuses you will receive. Each character will start with 1 level of skill in the Merchant profession, and 1 level in two selected professions based on nationality. They will also have 1 unassigned profession point to spend as they choose. The player will receive one profession point for every five levels they advance. You can work on mastering a single job or become a jack-of-all-trades, the choice is up to you. Note: You can also earn more by completing achievements.
