All professions, basics and how to grind

Basically how Fishing/Gathering works for newbies

The very basics

Professions are basically the type of stuff you can do in Twinsaga, Like how blacksmiths work in rogue like games etc.
The professions grind based on level of difficulty (levels) are: Alchemy, Cooking, Farming, Gathering, Fishing and lastly Crafting being the hardest to grind

ill start this guide by Fishing and Gathering (because they are almost the same thing) and going to Farming, Alchemy, Cooking then Crafting

Fishing explained

Ever went on a fishing trip? Fishing in Twinsaga is twice simpler than that. There are Common(green) and Uncommon(blue) fish that you can catch automatically when fishing(no action required). And Orange(Epic), Yellow(Legendary) and Gems(Used as crafting materials) will require you to take action (explained below).

All types except Legendary can be caught in any fishing area if you meet the minimum required Level (if you are lower than that limit you can't catch anything). Legendary Fish can only be caught if you reach the upper limit in that area (example: in the level 1-8 fishing area you are required to be it fishing level 8 to hook any Legendary fish).

Once you get a little more into Fishing you will notice a QTE which will require you to press random buttons from 1-4. You are required to press them within the time frame given or you cannot get the fish. Upon every failed attempt your health will get lower until the line breaks. There are some craftable rods to boost your dmg and health and also provide various bonuses (http://www.twinsagadb.com/professions/fishing/tools).
Keep in mind that gems from Fishing/Gathering have almost higher health than any other fish but they have higher time frame. They are not easy to get it the beginning because of that but they become lot easier compared to legendary fish in advanced zones.

To grind fishing i recommend ONLY Fishing in the fishing area's which you reached cap level for ( if you have level 10 Fishing go fish in the 1-8 area) because legendary fish provide more xp for efficient grinding. Same thing with Gathering.

Gathering and how its similar

Gathering is similar to Fishing but with a tiny twist... Getting Better Gathering Tools is a lot harder than Fishing.
In Fishing you can catch the Legendary Fish in the level 1-8 and 8-16 area's to get Narwhal Tusk fishing rod within a week. However, in Gathering you cannot do the same thing easily because the time frame is shorter which will require focus and speed if you want to skip from beginners set to legendary set.

Fishing rods and gathering tools crafting

To keep crafting patterns simple in both: For Rare you need Essence (green thing x10 and the once similar to it. Amount required to craft increases the higher level area you go to) from any area and you can purchase the formula's in your terra cottage. For Epic you need to get the Epic drops from fishing and gathering, Formula drops there and it required x30 of each resource to craft. For Legendary you require only 1 resource (which is why I recommend skipping like Narwhal Tusk Fishing rod) and the formula to craft. Examples of such Essence I named: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/869613906101646850/0CA2A399B4EE0E5AAECE7F1D074A6A350880AC87/ for fishing and https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/869613906101647334/D37547B35F5322D40A40CF657704401A219BDCD2/ for gathering

Farming

Farming is very easy to do. The only 2 things you need are time and money.

You obtain Alchemy materials for potions from it which you can use to boost your stats.

Grinding it is simple also. Keep planting Cotton whenever you can. Farming products all give around the same xp so its useless to think that expensive once give a lot more. Its only a waste of money unless you will craft potions with it.

Link also has an xp chart for comparing: http://www.twinsagadb.com/professions/farming/products

Keep this note an mind, Farming xp boosts are the most useless boosts you can get. It's only limited to 1 hour so it most you will only be able to pick a very few times compared to how it works in other professions. If you don't get them for cheap don't get them it all for farming

Alchemy

Alchemy is one of the simplest yet 3rd useful profession to grind.

Alchemy is used to craft: Starstones, Potions and improve some decorations that are made to provide buffs.

Grinding Alchemy is very simple, see those Starstones shards that you get from dungeons? I know you sold them to NPC's it once point xD. Keep those because for almost every 10 character levels you will unlock a higher level shards to craft. To keep it simple you basically spend gold to condense those low level shards for higher level once (highest current shard level is 68) which will provide you with Alchemy xp and thus giving you permanent boosts.

Crafting actual Starstones is expensive so i don't recommend it. Just condense them up to level 68 and sell them in the auction if you are not rich.

I also recommend using an xp boosting item for alchemy if you are spamming it.

Cooking

Cooking in Twinsaga is one of the simplest things to do. Fastest to grind.
To cook in Twinsaga you need 2 things:
1- Cooking material from either Fishing or Gathering.
2- The dish from the NPC's in your terra cottage (you buy the one that goes along with the material to craft an improved version of it).

Cooking has 3 qualities which are Rare, Epic and Legendary. Epic and Legendary have a 2nd buff depending on the dish made that will improve your stats or improve Loot drop rate/Experience.

Cooking costs an average amount of ingame money compared to Alchemy and Crafting which we will get to soon in this guide.

Grinding Cooking is simple: Fish or Gather a lot (if lazy buy from auction). Use a Food/Drink that boost cooking xp to improve the grind if you will cook a lot of stuff it once. Example of such thing: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/869613906101720763/04C58D84C8C667658CEA7DA8D484EE40258361A7/?interpolation=lanczos-none&output-format=jpeg&output-quality=95&fit=inside|256:*

Crafting

This is the nastiest and best profession of all.

Crafting is used mainly for 4 Things: Crafting Epic armor (Formula's required from dungeons or auction house), Enchanting cards (Materials obtained from gathering), Decorations (Materials obtained from both Fishing and gathering) and lastly Outfits.

Don't get me wrong, I do say its the nastiest because Crafting consumes lot of gold compared to the other professions. Crafting armor and weapons is required ingame otherwise you will get your a$s kicked in almost any 60+ dungeon. Formula's themselves go for quite high price in the auction house and its hard to get any while running dungeons (the level 60,65,70 sets. below are not very hard).

To get armor formula's you need to run dungeons quite a lot or make some money. Each and every attempt it crafting them consumes a quite a bit of gold each.

To craft accessory (Necklace, cloak, ring) you 1st need to get the formula's from Miracle merchant Sebastian which can be found an Arcadia. You also need either Earth star energy (for level 60) or Flame star energy (for level 70) per craft. 3 for each crafting of these accessories.

Weapon formula's can also be found in dungeons but the level 65/70 are only purchasable from Sebastian an Arcadia. They require Essence of life (65 weapon) or Essence of light (70 weapon). 3 of each per craft.

Conclusion

This concludes my Guide (May update over time).

This is the 1st "Real" guide I ever made so if you have any questions hit me up. Thanks!

No problem, not sure if there are any changes due to how long i stopped playing but it should be helpful regardless

[pauloco]

Nice guide
thanks!!!

[Veisou]

I would also highly recommend if you put in the Loyal Points farm way. Since most of the new player probably wont cash,so they got an other way to get the Loyal points for the "cash items" I would say.
Guide was very helpfull to me thanks for it.<3

Awesome guide!

Very useful guide, Murtida. I'd like to add that you can use fertilizers to reduce or even remove the time required to harvest your crops (farming prof). Some are "free", like the normal Fertilizer and the Concentrated Fertilizer you buy from battlefront shop, and some are only obtainable via puzzle (complete reference is here: http://www.twinsagadb.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&s=fertilizer)

And I have some other tips: if you want to max lvl you crafting profession without emptying your pockets, I recommend you to craft epic gears lvl 40 and 50. They are cheaper and give a good amount of exp. On alchemy, to max lvl it without having a headache, you can make solvents like the Alchemic Solvent and the new Ghost Solvent. They are relatively cheap, their mats are easy to get and they give you a good amount of exp as well.

That is, thank you again.
