Professions
7 crafting professions — the backbone of Stoneholm's economy.
Gloria Victis is a player-driven economy, and professions are how that economy runs. The 7 trades below split into gatherers — who pull raw resources from contested land — and makers, who forge those resources into the weapons, armour, siege engines and supplies their nation fights with. Pick a trade, learn its recipes, and you become part of the war effort even off the battlefield.
Smelts ores (limonite, pyrite) into lumps of iron, then refines them into grivna, ingots and bars of soft/semi-hard/hard steel and bulat used as the base stock for weapon and armour crafting.
Forges metal armour: weaves maille (3in1/4in1/5in1/6in1 dense, riveted, welded), beats metal sheets, and assembles faction heavy and medium armour sets for head, chest, hands, legs and feet plus shields.
Tans and works hides into leather, weaves flax/hemp canvas, and sews the game's light and medium armour, robes, jerkins and bags across all factions.
Gathers and processes wood and farm produce: butchers animal carcasses for hides/meat/bones, threshes grain, spins flax and hemp into threads and twine, and burns logs into charcoal.
Brews alchemical reagents and acids such as Aqua Fortis and Vitriol from minerals like nitre and sulfur, used in advanced metallurgy and engineering.
Crafts tools, planks, crucibles and ceramic/clay intermediates: shovels, pickaxes, scythes, axes, wooden planks, chamotte crucibles and processed clay/graphite used by other professions.
Prepares food and consumables and a few chemical products (Aqua Fortis, Hydrochloric Acid, Linseed Oil); the wiki page for this profession is sparse.
