Tradeskill

Looking for Hobbies like Cooking, or for Crafting in general?

A Tradeskill is a trade in WildStar that a player can learn and use to gather materials and other items, create items in the game, and gain other benefits. Unlike hobbies, only two tradeskills may be acquired at a time. Tradeskills are learned from a local Crafting trainer NPC.

Tradeskills

Players can pick form any two of the following.

• Weaponsmith
• Armorer
• Mining (gathering)
• Outfitter
• Survivalist (gathering)
• Technologist
• Architect - creates housing items, possibly item enhancement parts
• Relic Hunter (gathering)
• Tailor

Levels

There are 5 levels of Tradeskill expertise, and 5 levels for Harvesting Tools.

• Novice
• Apprentice
• Journeyman
• Artisan
• Expert

Salvaging

Salvaging starts at level 6 ^{[citation needed]}, and this allows you to salvage armor and weapons for materials. There is also a chance of a Salvage Critical, which can drop more rarer materials.

Crafting

Crafting will require a crafting table, normally located at a Tradeskill Hub. Crafting tables can also be added to your housing plot. The current way is to place a BBQ pit into an unused landscape socket. The BBQ pit works because you can use any cooking table or any crafting table to do either a tradeskill or a hobby, and the BBQ pit is a cooking table. You will be able to change Tradeskills for a respec fee. Skills previously learned will not be lost, but there is a cooldown period if you wish to swap back to a previous tradeskill.
