Firemaking
Coax flame from log and tinder. A clean hearth feeds the cook and warms the road.
The supply chain
Grand Flamekeeper Aveline
The master hands you the first tool free. The five above it are built, not bought, and a tool only unlocks its own tier: owning the tier five tool does nothing for tier two work.
- T1 Cooking Fire level 1
- T2 Banked Cooking Fire level 15
- T3 Stone-Ring Hearth level 30
- T4 Heartwood Hearth level 45
- T5 Wardens’ Brazier level 60
- T6 Old Rite Hearth level 75

Underneath the level
Every action carries its own mastery track, one to ninety-nine, separate from the skill. Mastery is per action: mastering copper does nothing for iron. At ninety-nine a single action runs up to 25% faster, pays up to 10% bonus skill experience, and has up to a 20% chance of an extra yield.
How professions work covers the experience curve, the tier gates and offline progress, which are identical for all sixteen.
