Lost Ark: The complete guide to business skills, life skills, occupations and professions

Through the Trade Skills system, Professions/Professions/Trade Skills, your character learns to gather materials and resources around the Lost Ark world.

Using trade skills, farming materials, and resources will help you upgrade your strength and equipment to acquire buff-giving foods and battle items, all to strengthen your character.

Lost Ark: What are business skills (Trades-Professions)?

In the Lost Ark game, Trade skills are skills that your character can learn to get components and resources to craft items and research upgrades.

Trade skills are like professions/trades you know from other MMORPGs, where you can learn additional non-combat skills.

With the Professions/Professions, you can collect resources and materials from natural sources such as minerals, trees, and animals that appear throughout the Lost Ark world.

You can see which trade skills can be performed on a given map.

Look at the information bar in the upper right corner of any map.

Your character can learn six different trading skills in Lost Ark.

• Harvest
• felling
• Mining
• Hunting
• Excavation

How to Unlock Business Skills (Trades/Professions) in Lost Ark?

You will have to complete the quest chains Crown of Lakebar from the Lost Ark NPC, Artisan Urr (Location on Map) in Lake bar. (Previous mission required  The Lutheran Spirit )

In other words, to unlock trading skills in the game, you have to follow the Main Quest until you reach Lake bar and then follow the quest chain.

Around level 24, you will reach Lake bar to unlock the trading skills through the main quest.

Once you unlock trade skills in the key questline in Lake bar, you unlock all six trade capabilities at when.

You'll be able to access the Trade Expertise window by pressing 'L' on your keyboard or by way of the Character tab in the proper bottom menu when you have unlocked them.

Although the quests don't require you to use most of the trade skills, you learn them simultaneously anyway.

Lost Ark: How to get tools?

You must use trading skills tools before you can perform any trading skills.

You must use trading skills tools before you can perform any trading skills.

Each trade skill has its tool, so before you can fell trees, you must use a felling tool, before you can hunt, you must use a hunting tool, and so on.

You can get the trade skills tools for each trade skill by buying them from a trade ability tool merchant NPC, completing quests, or crafting them.

The first trade skill tool merchant you come across in the game is Nickel, where you learn trade skills in the Lake bar area.

You can purchase the beginner version of each trading skill tool at Nickel for 1500 silver each.

Lost Ark Silver

Trade skills tool merchants are also present in every big city, including Lutheran Castle.

Tools of different rarity

To obtain higher rarity trade skill tools, you must first acquire the recipe and then craft them with the necessary materials.

You will get the increased rarity trade skills device recipes from NPC Jeniff within your Stronghold, and after that, craft them in your Crafting Workshop in her Stronghold.

You must repair your trade skill tools to maintain their durability and thus use them.

Whenever you restore a trade skill instrument, there is a likelihood that it can not be repaired to its maximum durability, so dropping a little bit of its maximum durability.

This means that you have to buy new tools at some point or restore them together with the Trade Techniques Instrument Restoration Kits. 

Since restoring tools is expensive in terms of materials, only restore those that are very rare and have great stats.

Trade skill tools are not used in your character's equipment window but are used in the trade skill window since trade skills are shared with your  Cast (or key).

How to get more energy for Trade Skills?

Performing any trade skill in the Lost Ark costs work energy. Without work energy, you cannot perform any business skills.

It is possible to get extra doing work power around the Lost Ark by waiting for it to regenerate or through the use of Minor Existence Power Potions and Leap Essences. 

Lesser Vital Energy  Potions increase your current working energy by 1000 while Leaping Essences increase your current working energy by 3000 and increase your XP trading skills.

Both Minor Life Energy Potions and  Leaping Essences can be purchased weekly with Crystals in the Shop's bottom right menu.

These potions may also be occasionally awarded at login events. Small Existence Power Potions may also be the reward for completing some quests.

Note: You passively regenerate trade ability functioning vitality in the fee of 33 working vitality per ten minutes. If you have the Crystalline Aura, you regenerate 36 working energies every 10 minutes.

You stop regenerating working energy when you reach the maximum limit of 10,000 working energy, so we recommend spending it.

Lost Ark: How to Repair the Tools?

The same thing happens with your weapons or armor. Using them begins to wear down and will give you fewer statistics.

Likewise, your tools for different trade skills will also need repair from time to time, as their pickaxe loses durability from mining, for example.

To repair gear or tools in the Lost Ark, talk to the repair NPC, interact with him and click Repair Equipped or Repair All. When interacting with a maintenance specialist, you can switch between repair gear and trade skill tools at the bottom.

You can find repair NPCs all over Arkesia. They are found mainly in towns and near reports.

Repair NPCs are marked with an anvil icon on the map, making them easy to find.

Repairing a trade skill item or tool costs silver. The higher the item level and the more durability an item has lost, the more it will repair.

Trade skill tools sometimes cannot be repaired to their maximum durability, causing them to lose some.

You can restore the maximum durability of trade skill tools by using the Restore tab on the repairman NPC.

Lost Ark: The Commercial Skills are for the whole account?

Yes, trade skills are account-wide, meaning they are shared with your character roster.

Your progress with Professions/Professions on one character is shared with other characters you have on the same server.

Normal skills and mastery skills are shared for each trade skill and trade skill tool.

Business Skills Inventory

Sources and components collected by doing trade competencies are not stored as standard products in the main stock.

Rather, all trade skills elements and resources are stored inside their separate stock, which you may enter by clicking the guide icon leading to the inventory window.

Every trade skill, including your Stronghold and events, has its tab in this storage portion of the inventory.

If you've been gathering Daily life Techniques, sources, and resources and wonder wherever they went, that is why you do not see them in the standard stock.
