TRADES Trades are jobs a character can become skilled at performing. Characters may list up to 2 trades on their profile (Primary Trade and Secondary Trade). Trades are a good way to create fun plots with other characters and are needed for many rank advancements. Be sure to visit the Experience Claim as soon as you join to immediately select your Primary and Secondary Trades. TRADE ADVANCEMENT A trade level is an indicator of how much experience a character has in that trade. All trades start at the 'Unskilled' level, and progress through Novice, Adept, Expert, and Master levels. To progress your trade level, after finishing (and exiting) a thread, visit the Experience Claim to claim experience. Trade level will be automatically updated as you progress. Experience claim is located in your UserCP. ADVANTAGE ROLLS An Advantage Roll is a “2nd chance” roll that can be utilized when a character levels-up their trade.
