In addition to the skill system, characters can learn from 1 to 4 individual professions. Characters can gain profession points (PPS) by raising a skill called 'Profession', whose cost is equal to that of Hitpoints. At level 20, every character acquires this skill. All non arch classes can raise this skill to 50, Arches can raise it to 100.

Characters can subsequently spend their PPS by doing an apprenticeship with a teacher either to learn a new profession, or to increase their knowledge of a profession they have already begun to master. Learning or improving a profession will require the character to pay for his studies in gold.
