First of all, let's answer the most common question I've been getting in a definitive and final** sort of way: what are the Vocations and Professions, and how do they relate to each other? The following are diagrams of the seven Vocations: Diamonds are "production professions" tradeskills that make stuff and the Circles are "gathering professions" - professions that gather materials so that you can make stuff. You'll notice that there are seven Vocations, and seven production professions. Very shrewd of you! Except for the Scholar (whose materials are only found via loot), each production profession requires materials from another profession, so although there are multiple vocations that allow you to be a Tailor, only one of them also lets you be a Forester, which will provide needed materials for your own use. Confused yet? Check out this handy diagram!
