Skill Level

All professions have varying level of skills for its practitioners to achieve. However the Ten Realms has its own method of measuring its professions. All professions have the same skill levels to achieve when developing their talents. These are:

Novice
This is the introductory level for any craft and what everyone starts at. It is uncommon for anyone above the High Tier Novice level on the first floor.
 * Low Tier
 * Mid Tier
 * High Tier

Apprentice

 * Low Tier
 * Mid Tier
 * High Tier

Journeyman

 * Low Tier
 * Mid Tier
 * High Tier

Expert
Experts begin to be found on the Fourth Realm, however they tend to be limited to crafts such as Blacksmithing, Tailoring and other professions that are not as mana intensive. Professions such as Formation Master Experts are limited at best until the Fifth Realm due to the higher and purer mana levels aiding in the standards of item creation and skill development of the practitioners of such professions.
 * Low Tier
 * Mid Tier
 * High Tier

Master
Master level skill rankings are the only know deviation from the tradition skill level system in that they possess a star system related to their mastery level.

The only known character to be approaching master grade is the Alchemist Old Hei.
