| Cooking
|
Cooking raw fish and chicken into food at roast pits.

Note: Regular food stops working in The Dunes; Nadeen the Sandcook crafts Health Potion+ in Dunes West, but that brew pays no Cooking XP.
|
| Smithing
|
Smelting ingots at furnaces and forging/repairing gear, tools, and armor.
|
Frostmere, Dunes West (Harun the Forgewright), Dunes East (Kaziir the Armoursmith)

Level System & Caps
| Rule
|
Details
|
| Level cap
|
The level cap across every skill is 40 (raised from 30).
|
| Total Level Unlocks
|
None — Smithing has no Total Level requirement; each recipe is gated by Smithing level alone.
|
| Level gates
|
Emberstone requires Total Level 25 and the Glade Cave Total Level 20. Frostmere and The Shores no longer have a gate (both used to require Total Level 20), and the Total Level 30 requirement for The Dunes has been removed—the Dunes are open to all players.
