Developer Blog: Professions Updates

By Julia (nitocris83) | Fri 16 Jul 2021 07:00:00 AM PDT

Greetings adventurers! Miku here to talk about the upcoming changes to your hardworking artisans and adventurers with Neverwinter: Jewel of the North. As your own levels have changed, there have also been adjustments to the levels of your professions and artisans.

With new gear to craft for the Bard, a less daunting set of levels to achieve, there’s sure to be plenty of workshop opportunities abound.

 

Leveling Compression

As you adventure through Neverwinter, you’ll have “A Workshop Opportunity” of your own at Level 8 at Sergeant Knox. The tale of Lord Clement Montworth and his broken workshop awaits those who feel passion of creation. This storyline advances as you advance in level and profession level.

For those of you who have already started your journey with the workshop, your professions and artisan levels will be adjusted in the following manner:

Old Level New Level
1 to 4 1
5 to 8 2
9 to 12 3
13 to 16 4
17 to 20 5
21 to 24 6
25 to 28 7
29 to 32 8
33 to 36 9
37 to 40 10
41 to 44 11
45 to 48 12
49 to 52 13
53 to 56 14
57 to 60 15
61 to 64 16
65 to 68 17
69 to 72 18
73 to 76 19
77 to 80 20

 

With the adjustment of Levels, Item Levels on gear were also increased in order to better match other rewards:

Besides the item level changes, new crafted items were also made for the Bard. You can be the one to gear up our new Bard friends after you take care of your own

Handy Hints

Has it been a while since you’ve been in your workshop? What’s an artisan? What’s morale? What is Dab Hand? With the tutorials that have been added to Neverwinter, you should no longer feel like a stranger to your own workshop, even if Zariel or Halaster has kept you away from it for a while.

More information might be added over time, so just keep an eye on these tutorials from here on out! You can read more about the tutorial system on the following blog: New Leveling Experience.

 

With the increased item Levels, a new set of gear to craft for the newly minted Bards of Neverwinter, the song of creation from your workshop must reach even Gond’s ears. May your artisans and adventurers achieve high quality results often and with ease!

As always, thank you all for playing Neverwinter, and I’ll see you around!
