What Will Determine Your Personal Profession Choice?

I suppose this post is as simple as the title itself, what will determine your own profession? Will you be choosing a profession based on what makes you the most profit? What benefits your guild most? Or simply picking it based on what you think best suits your character.

For me personally, I'll be choosing my profession based on what is most beneficial to my guild! Look forward to seeing others views!

As a royal knight, I was born in a wealthy family where my father was a jewel crafter in the city of York, and it got my attention to learn jewel crafting and carry on the family business while I am a royal knight and serve the goddess of Norlan's followers.

I will pick it on what I will like to play the most in PVP.

Pies. I plan to run the best pastry shop in Verra.

I love taming in any game, assuming we can sell our tames like in Ultima Online, not sure if we can or not. That would be my direction. Furniture would be my 2nd choice.

I'll go with gathering. I like being out in the open world and truly explore and discover, while also being constantly in a state of danger.

I dont care at all about growing and processing mats, or even playing crafting minigames, effectivelly reducing my gaming time and working a second job. It's not for me. Ill just sell my raw gatherables, and fight for them wherever they spawn.

However, I am greatful for all these systems that make the mmo harder and socially based, as opposed to games like ESO, in which I never faced any difficulty in reaching max lv to ALL the professions, my adventure class and ALL the global skills. For all the group content I never cared to get to know other players. Just pug Group Finder. I never needed to belong to something bigger than me, because that game had nothing bigger going on than transmorg and mounts.

Ye AoC. Just give me my dual wield Fighter, and Ill go gather raw materials to manage my finances and gear as I explore, mastering my class, lv up and PvP.
And then let me join a guild and do mmo stuff like attack caravans, do naval battles, contest Raid Bosses, own castles, atk/defend player made cities, 1v1 for fame in front of players chilling in the village arena.
These are the 6-12 months of gameplay I want before any expansion (ability rebalance, new lv cap, new gear tier, new abilities, new map zones, new towns, new raid bosses and new Epic World Bosses).

Not ez story questing, optional dungeon runs and optional Battlegrounds with 0 player interaction out in the open and the market.

Enjoyment. I think I'll have the most fun trying to figure out how to tweak mounts and create new ones and test the limits of what is possible.

1. Safety - this takes gathering out of the picture.
2. Simplicity - From what I've heard so far about rare resource requirements, Crafting will be to stressful.
3. Profit margins

So I guess it will processing for me. I will pay above average for raw mats from gatherers. Smelt them at my freehold with limited risk. Then sell to crafters for a modest profit.

Fishing! Just like I fished In AA!

The limit of how many professions I can have in each stage will determine this.

If only one of each, I'd like to be a lumberjack, wood refiner, and boat builder. If I CAN select more such as mining, smelting, and weapon smithing, I certainly will. I like the idea of cutting down trees. I haven't experienced this in many other games and I figure, there are trees everywhere. It would be nice if I could shape the landscape with my gathering as well.

I thought it would be nice to get a ship ASAP. If I can fish from it without losing lumberjack, I'm gonna. If I can weaponize the boat without losing boat building, I'm gonna. The full extent of what I'm ALLOWED to do is going to be done.

I just wanna live out my life like Brock from Pokemon and be the best Pokemon Breeder there ever was!

In all seriousness though I love monsters and I love mounts, being able to collect and breed them to make unique mounts is dream territory for me. Genuinely if this was real life I would most likely be a monster farmer/breeder/vet so yeah, you can bet imma do it in my virtual life lol.

You could do this IRL for sure. You can breed rabbits, fish, etc. Some species you can raise and sell to zoos and private collectors. Decent money in it. Rabbits are great for food harvesting. They breed super quickly, and if you select a species with a desired fur type, you can sell pelts for crafting too. I looked into it briefly myself.

Ya know, I've only thought of it in a fantasy aspect involving monsters and how cool it would be, not once in my life did I actually think of doing it for real with legit real normal animals. Other than the normal, stereotypical farm, which I would love to do as it's in my blood but is very much a dying profession where I live.

Thanks my dude, I'm actually gonna look into this myself aswell lol

Alchemy probably, it's my usual go-to crafting profession in any RPG that offers it. Though it might end up on an alt as I'll want Herbalism on my main. I'll be trying the systems during alpha, and if they don't feel right, I'll give Jewelrycrafting and Enchanting a go.

The caravan system, I absolutely love the idea and would most likely do anything that can be centered near or around it.

Ghoosty

I always choose a gatherer profession who gathers from the dead enemies, like skinner, butcher. If there are nothing like that in this case woodcutter. If we can have multiple profession, I choose something what use material from my gathering skills.

I see someone named Roboute G. and the first thing that enters my mind:

Roboute Guilliman, Primarch of the Ultramarines.

Whatever is fun to me. So I have no idea yet. I'll decide later when we have a more complete list of them.

Gonna be a balance between usability and profit. Like if i can craft the majority of the gear I myself will be using, that's where i'm likely to go. Unless i can instead make boatloads of money crafting something else entirely, and just use the funds to buy all the gear I was originally going to make for myself, but that second option has to be pretty lucrative.

mcstackerson

It will be a fight between what is the easiest for me to profit off of and my desire to be able to make my own gear.

Though, it will probably be decided by what my guild needs.
