Monsters & Memories professions and tradeskills

How crafting fits the game

The developers link tradeskills to factions, player guilds and player housing. Their gameplay page also says solo play counts. When you harvest alone, your work still feeds a larger community goal.

The game itself is built around groups of players who depend on each other. Since tradeskills connect to player guilds as well, it helps to know who in your guild gathers and who crafts.

The tradeskills

The community wiki has a page for each of these 37 skills. Players write the wiki, and the developer does not run or endorse it, so treat this as a working list.

Two notes on the list:

• Spellcrafting is tagged as not implemented on the wiki.
• Survival builds campfires. The official new player guide says you need the Survival skill and 8 wood to make one. Resting near a campfire or in an inn gives you a 15% experience bonus. Our leveling guide covers rested experience in full.

Crafting stations and combine kits

The developers' Update 52 (June 2026) named the crafting stations and combine containers in its list of audio work. It is the only official list of them we have found.

Stations: Anvil, Carpentry, Cauldron, Enchanting, Forge, Grilltop, Grinding wheel, Jewelcrafting, Leatherworking, Loom, Sawmill, Stove, Tanning.

Combine containers: Alchemist Bag, Backstrap Loom, Camp Kitchen, Ceramic Mixing Bowl, Dark Alchemist's Bag, Disenchanting Cube, Fletching Kit, Jewelcrafting Kit, Leatherworking Kit, Mixing Bowl, Mortar and Pestle, Poison Making Kit, Pottery Bowl, Tailoring Kit, Tinkering Toolkit, Tome of Enchantment, Trainee Research Tome.

The list does not say which skill uses which station. Where a station or container shares a skill's name, we paired them in the table below. The pairing comes from the names only, not from an official source.

The Anvil, Forge, Cauldron, Grilltop, Stove, Grinding wheel, Loom and Sawmill carry no skill name. The community wiki's tradeskill pages pair some of them: Blacksmithing works at the Anvil, Smelting at the Forge, Alchemy brews in a Cauldron, Tailoring uses the Loom for big recipes and Woodworking runs at the Sawmill. Players write those pages, so treat the pairings as community notes.

Experimental crafting and magic gear

Some recipes are meant to be found by testing combinations. Recent patches changed how this works:

• Feedback on guesses. Since the Release Patch (0.30.2.1, September 30, 2026), experimental crafting shows messages that respond to what you tried. They help when you are working out a recipe by trial and error.
• Common gear first. Since 0.30.0.0 (September 19, 2026), the experimental magic crafted gear lines need common crafted gear. Vipers, Drakescale and Umbral are examples. If your guild wants magic crafted pieces, someone has to craft the common gear first.
• Scrapping. Update 50 (late 2025, during testing) let you scrap gear into metal scraps and bars. Old gear became a source of materials.

Research shows up on the container list too, as the Trainee Research Tome. Research got an early first version in late 2025. In the Early Access patch, most group buffs moved from research to spell vendors.

Gathering, weight and mounts

Mining and ore weight

The wiki lists Mining and Smelting as separate tradeskills, and the official station list includes a Forge and an Anvil. Beyond that, most of what the developers have said about ore is about its weight.

In beta patch 4 (0.23.0.0, April 2026), the developers made ore heavier. They said they wanted players who gather top-tier materials to bring donkeys and mounts. Here is how weight works:

• Strength raises your carry limit. The wiki puts it at 2 weight per point of Strength (a community figure from the beta).
• Encumbrance slows you down. An encumbered character moves slower and can't gate or teleport.
• Buying a mount. The wiki says stablemasters sell horses and donkeys, at 1g 68s or 7g 50s depending on tier (community figures that may have changed).
• Mounts level up. Since beta patch 4, mounts gain levels as you travel.

As of October 2026 we have not found an official mining guide, node list or skill cap.

Time of day, moons and seasons

The official gameplay page says spawns and foraging depend on the time of day, the day of the week, the lunar cycle and the season. A spot with nothing to gather now may have something later.

Night in the game is dark. Carry a candle, torch or lantern when you gather after sunset.

Foraging

• The Release Patch made cureberries something Druids and Rangers forage, and it removed the spell that used to summon them.
• The Ranger deep dive lists Foraging for trail food and cureberries.
• The wiki lists Forage as a racial ability for Wood Elves and Halflings (as of February 2026, beta).

Class crafting ties

Archers and Rogues make some of their own combat tools. Elementalists conjure everyday supplies with spells.

• Archer. The deep dive ties traps to Tinkering and specialty arrows to Fletching. The wiki says only Archer traps use Tinkering right now (community). See our ranged classes guide.
• Rogue. Poisons start at level 4. The container list includes a Poison Making Kit, and the wiki lists Poison Making as a tradeskill. See our melee classes guide.
• Elementalist. The developers planned to cut these conjurations but kept them, and they added the Ring of Water Breathing.

Food, alchemy and mount gear

• Food. A Hungry or Thirsty character recovers health and mana more slowly, so you need food and drink. Patch 0.30.2.0 (September 25, 2026) added many new food recipes and effects. The Release Patch gave buff food descriptions, so you can read what a dish does.
• Alchemy. Since 0.30.0.0, alchemy elixirs stay on you through death.
• Mount gear. Horseshoes and heavy saddles arrived in 0.30.0.0. The wiki says players make saddles with Leatherworking and Blacksmithing. The Release Patch lowered the cost of mount tread recipes.

Alchemy

Alchemy turns herbs from Herbalism and other reagents into potions, serums, elixirs and powders. The wiki counts 77 recipes.

• Trainers: Alchemist Vizyl in the Blackfeather Bazaar in Night Harbor, and Alchemist Maverak in the Western district of the Underdocks. A vendor next to Vizyl sells flasks and vials.
• Two steps: grind herbs and reagents into powder in a Mortar and Pestle from the alchemy vendor. Then combine the powder with a vial in a Cauldron.
• Cauldrons: the alchemy vendor gives you a permanent starter cauldron. Blacksmiths craft upgraded cauldrons with more combine slots.
• Since 0.30.0.0: alchemy elixirs stay on you through death.

Jewelcrafting

Jewelcrafting makes rings, earrings, necklaces and gems. The wiki counts 155 recipes and flags its own page as out of date.

• Trainers: the jewelcrafting trainer in Night Harbor, with kits from a jewelcrafter in the Night Market. Vaelyndir the Jewelcrafter works above the inn in Faelindral, and Sorgen Stoneshiner works at Forge Row in the Underdocks.
• Tools: a Jewelcrafting Kit for basic combines. Take the Jewelcrafting Minor Non-Combat trait and you start with a Trainee's Jewelcrafting Kit. Chain Links need an Anvil and Smithing Pliers.
• Materials: most gems come out of mineral veins, so Jewelcrafting pairs with Mining. The wiki's rule of thumb for a 5-piece jewelry set is 11 metal bars, 6 enchanted bars and 5 gems.
• Enchanted bars: enchant a bar in a Tome of Enchantment with the Enchanting skill, which can fail, or ask an Enchanter, whose bar spells always work.

Leatherworking

Leatherworking makes leather armor, containers and mount gear. The wiki counts 102 recipes.

• Trainers: Leatherworker Haiat at the tannery in Night Harbor, and Leatherworker Keiros on the east side of the Underdocks citadel district.
• Tools: a Leatherworking Kit holds up to 6 items. Recipes with more ingredients need a Leatherworking Station. The Leatherworking trait gives you a Trainee's Leatherworking Kit.
• Leveling route: buy a Seam Ripper. Combine it with Tattered Rawhide armor to get Rawhide Scraps, then combine tattered armor with scraps to make Patched Rawhide. Vendors pay more for patched pieces than for tattered ones.
• Where to farm: the wiki names the Tomb of the Last Wyrmsbane near Night Harbor and Ashira camps for rawhide, and Blacktide Bay on the Faelindral side.

Tailoring

Tailoring makes cloth armor, bags and components. The wiki counts 118 recipes.

• Trainers: Noura the Tailor in the Night Market in Night Harbor, and Flerri Dawntender on the Traders Terrace in Evershade Weald.
• Kit or Loom: recipes with 6 or fewer ingredients fit in a Tailoring Kit. Recipes with 7 or more need a Loom.
• Leveling route: combine a Seam Ripper with Tattered Cloth armor to get Cloth Scraps, then combine tattered armor with scraps to make Patched Cloth. Leatherworkers need tailored parts for their next armor tier.
• Where to farm: the Tomb of the Last Wyrmsbane and Ashira camps, per the wiki.

Blacksmithing

Blacksmithing makes armor, weapons, shields and metal parts. The wiki counts 309 recipes, all made at an Anvil.

• Trainers: Blacksmith Musafar and Weaponsmith Fahkri in the Night Market in Night Harbor, near the Forge and Anvil, and Blacksmith Hargrul at Forge Row in the Underdocks.
• Tools: Smithing Pliers from a blacksmith vendor. The Blacksmithing trait gives you a Smithing Hammer, or you buy one. Rivet Cutters and a Hammer and Chisel break gear down into scraps.
• Copper first: vendors don't sell copper ore. You mine it and smelt it into bars, or buy bars from players. The wiki reports about 5 skill points per 50 white combines at the start. From the Bronze tier, mobs drop more of what you need.
• For your alchemists: Blacksmiths craft the upgraded cauldrons that Alchemy uses.

See who in your guild can craft it

Members can add their tradeskill levels to their CoGM profile, and officers can fill them in. Your guild roster then shows a tradeskills column you can filter, so you can find your Jewelcrafter or Blacksmith before you ask in chat. See roster management for Monsters & Memories.

Selling what you make

Most merchants only buy goods that fit their trade. The official FAQ gives two examples: a cook buys animal parts, and a tailor buys cloth. Shady merchants buy anything, but they pay poorly. Whatever you sell to a merchant becomes part of that merchant's stock.

Consignment comes up in patch notes from June and September 2026. The June patch says you cancel a consignment by handing the item to a customs agent. We have not found an official explanation of how consignment pricing works.

What is not known yet

As of October 2026, we have not found an official source for any of these:

• skill caps for any tradeskill
• an official recipe list (the wiki's lists come from players)
• an official list of which station or kit each skill uses
• how consignment pricing works

We will add caps to this guide when the developers publish them.

Organize your guild's crafters

A game built around groups rewards guilds that know who is out gathering and who needs what. Here is what CoGM does for an M&M guild today:

• Track tradeskills. Members add their tradeskill levels to their profile, officers can fill them in, and the roster filters by tradeskill.
• Schedule gathering runs. Create a guild event with a title, a signup limit and role seats.
• Keep the roster current. Members run /upload in your Discord with a screenshot of their character window (Inventory tab). CoGM reads their level, race, class and deity, plus health, mana, armor class, stats and resists. /update re-reads their stats from a new screenshot or changes their class.
• Recruit. Applications are free on every plan. The M&M form asks for character name, race, class, level and server.
• Hand out loot. If your guild uses DKP, read our DKP and loot guide. DKP is part of CoGM Pro. A new M&M guild gets a 14-day Pro trial (one per community), and you don't need a card. It starts with the guild's first /upload in Discord, or earlier from Settings > Billing.

See everything CoGM does for the game on the Monsters & Memories page.
