WildStar Tradeskill Guide
Tradeskills are WildStar's crafting professions. Each player can learn and level up two tradeskills at a time starting at level 10. There are five levels for each Tradeskill.
You can swap tradeskills at any time for a fee, and the nice thing is you won't lose any progress in the skill you leave behind. Instead, it's simply unusable until you reactivate it. The more you craft, the more possibilities you can discover in terms of recipes and specializations.
The tradeskills in WildStar are split in to two types: Gathering and Crafting. The materials found via Gathering tradeskills are used in Crafting tradeskills to create items.
GATHERING TRADESKILLS
Mining: Excavates precious ore, crystals, and gems. Used best with Weaponsmiths, Armorers, and Architects.
Relic Hunter: Excavates omni-plasm and Eldan relics from relic nodes. Used best with Technologists and Weaponsmiths.
Survivalist: Skins leather and chops meat from creatures, and harvests wood from trees. Used best with Outfitters and Architects.
