The gathering trades: turning raw logs into billets, butchering carcasses for hides and tendon, and threshing grain. It produces few finished items but feeds nearly every other craft, so most crafters level a little of it first.

The metal backbone. Ores are roasted and smelted at furnaces into the bars — iron, steel, dziwer and bulat — that the armour and weapon trades shape. Higher-tier bars need hotter furnaces and better fuel.

Woodwork and components, worked at the Lumber Mill's stations. It makes planks, wire, rings, tools, glass and other parts that armourers, weaponsmiths and tailors consume, plus some utility and ranged gear.

Metal armour: maille (chainmail) and plate, helmets, and the heavy and medium faction sets. Most pieces are assembled from rings, sheets and rivets at an Armoursmith or Blacksmith's workshop, with the top sets gated behind a higher-tier station.

Weapons of every kind — one- and two-handed, ranged, and faction patterns. It is the largest weapon tree, though the wikis document little of its experience curve, so treat its numbers as incomplete.

Cloth and leather: gambesons and padded layers, leather pieces, bags, and the light and medium faction armour sets. It is the broadest branch, with a long tanning-and-weaving chain feeding the finished armours.

Food and simple consumables. Only a handful of recipes are documented, so this guide treats it as a short reference rather than a full leveling plan.

Alchemical reagents such as vitriol and aqua fortis, worked at the Engineer's workshop. Only a couple of recipes are documented on the wiki, but they give strong experience for their tier.
