:''Main Article: [[Crafting]]
Crafting is the skill ring for [[Gathering]], [[Refining]], and [[Production]] to create nearly everything in the game.  The majority of the game content is created by players and recycled into the system.  To allow balance crafting was given a separate skillset and experience pool to level.  Just like Magic and Combat, it has an outer ring written in [[Runic]] that translates "Craftsmanship is Earned ~ Honed through Practice ~ Attention to Detail ~ Elegant and Functional ~ Refined and Durable"

There are 15 crafting skill schools that are broken into the three groups.  
* Gathering:
::* [[Mining]]
::* [[Forestry]]
::* [[Fishing]]
::* [[Field Dressing]]
::* [[Foraging]]
* Refining:
