Overview
There are no prerequisites for starting down one of the Crafting Skill Trees! You can multiclass if you so choose but you must choose the abilities in the order they are presented on the tree. After you have completed a full Skill Tree, you have the option of finding and completing the in-game quests to unlock the Capstone abilities for each tree. Of note, each Capstone ability costs 2 CP.
Enchanter Overview
An Enchanter is a crafter type that focuses their talents on forging magical objects. These Enchanted Items have properties that can enhance the strength of wielder, grant them special abilities, and even stave off death itself. The signature ability, Tinkerer, enables the creation of these items, provides the ability to attune to Enchanted Items, and the ability to identify unknown Enchanted Items. In the mind of an Enchanter, crafting is the art of turning ordinary objects into extraordinary things.

Alchemist Capstone Abilities
The Cataclysm caused much despair and destruction, including erasure of the extensive knowledge of Alchemy and research that took centuries to conduct between academics across Erden. Now, in this dark time, Knowledge is Power and those who have it Guard it Well. Alchemist Capstones remained locked for all PLAYERS until they have discovered and completed a particular questline.
