Arcana

Arcana is the Crafting Trade Skill focused on alchemy, magical consumables, and magical weapon recipes. Arcanists work at an Arcane Repository, combining gathered plants, magical reagents, refined materials, and specialized ingredients into items used throughout combat and exploration.

Quick Facts

What Arcana Crafts

Arcana covers many of Aeternum’s alchemical consumables, including recovery items and preparations designed to help against particular threats. The profession also handles magical weapon crafting and a variety of specialized components.

Because many recipes depend on herbs, motes, magical resources, creature drops, and refined materials, Arcana draws from several Gathering professions rather than relying on one single resource chain.

Progression

Arcana levels through crafting at the Arcane Repository. Higher skill levels unlock more advanced recipes, while the First Craft Bonus makes newly crafted recipes especially valuable for profession XP.

Consumable crafting can also reward resource efficiency, making profession progression useful not only for unlocking recipes but for improving the value obtained from ingredients.

Connected Trade Skills

Harvesting is especially important to Arcana because herbs and magical plants supply many recipes. Mining, Skinning, Fishing, and multiple Refining professions can also provide specialized ingredients used by higher-level alchemy and magical weapon crafting.
