Devlog - Crafting Overview
Crafting in Nexus Odyssey has been introduced as a core system to support player progression, the in-game economy, and world exploration. Here’s an overview of how it works in Alpha 1:
How Professions Work
Players level up their crafting skills by crafting items and gathering resources. As a profession levels up, more recipes become available, and new crafting options are unlocked.
To advance to the next rank of a profession, visit a profession trainer. Advancement costs money and may require completing specific services or quests.
Crafting stations can be found all arround the world of Nexus Odyssey.

Tools
Each crafting profession requires a specific tool for gathering resources. Tools come in three tiers, which can be upgraded to:

- Increase resource yield
Housing Integration
While still in early development, housing will be deeply integrated with the profession system. For example:
- Players will be able to grow crops and gather materials on personal farms.
- Some housing features and structures will require a certain profession level to craft or build.
- Special stations or crafting areas may only be usable with appropriate profession skills.
