BitCraft Professions Guide

Gathering and crafting professions are one of the major focuses of BitCraft. Almost every activity in the game is tied to one of the professions. Understanding the basics of each profession, as well as the stations and tools connected to them, is crucial for mastering this game.

Stations are used to refine and craft new items using materials gathered by yourself or other players. For example, the Mining Station (shown above) has several key features:

1. On the left side, you see the items you can craft using the selected station based on the recipes you’ve obtained. You unlock new recipes by gathering or crafting new items. So, as soon as you unlock a new recipe for an item, you should try to gather the materials required to craft it, as this may unlock additional new recipes.
2. The middle section displays crucial information about the item you have selected to craft. (From top to bottom.)
   • Lv.1 Mining Station: Required tier of the station to craft the item.
   • Lv.1 Mining: Required profession level to craft the item. Additionally, this is the profession that gets experience when you start crafting it.
   • Lv.1 Pickaxe: Required tool and its tier to craft the item.
   • Material Acquired: This tells you if you have the required materials to craft the item.
   • Project Limit: This is always set to a maximum of 1 for stations that require you to actively work on crafting the item. If it is a passive station that doesn’t require active work, this displays a higher maximum number. For example, the smelter is a passive station where you can start melting concentrates into ingots, then go do other activities and come back later to collect the finished ingots.
   • Available Slots: This is the limit on how many players can use this station at the same time.
   • Effort to craft: This number indicates how much effort is required to craft the selected quantity of the item. Higher tier tools provide more power, generally speeding up gathering and crafting processes tied to them.
   • Slider to select the quantity of the item you want to craft.
3. The right panel displays the required materials, along with the possible output items and their quantity range for the selected item.

Uncover hidden knowledge by deciphering hieroglyph stones scattered around the world using the quill. Use them, along with materials made by other professions, to research and craft blueprints and potions at the Scholar Station. Additionally, you can create solvents, which are required to refine leather, metal, or wood.
