Grand Huntswoman Maela
The master hands you the first tool free. The five above it are bought, and a tool only unlocks its own tier: owning the tier five tool does nothing for tier two work.

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.
