Tutorial: Professions.

[Henceforth]

Since there are so many players that dont even know about the Professions window,
(and not only noobs but also high skilled avatars) I think its a good idea to explain it once and for all.


First of all you press [X] or click the "action library" button.
[X] can be [Y] or [Z] depending on location and starting date.




Then you go to the System Tab.




After that you click on the Star icon that says "Professions"




Once you clicked it, you now come in the Professions screen.




Here you can see every section the professions are devided in.
(Combat, Manufacturing, Mining, MindForce and Misc.)

You may notice the 'red dot' near the "Laser Pistoleer (Hit)" Profession, this is how you can sellect your title, and it will show when someone scans you. You can sellect only one title, and you can disable it by clicking it again. The title will consist off the rank and profession, mine is now Inspiring Laser Pistoleer (Hit) like you can see in the screen above. You can change your current title any time.

At the bottom right corner of the Professions screen you see an "eye" logo. If its open, all your profession levels are public. And if you click it, the eye will close and only your title and atributes are public (if title is enabled)

This is an example of how it can look like.




It is very usefull to keep an eye out on your progress,
so you would like to add the Professions button on you Heads Up Display (HUD)

First press [L] or click the "edit panel" button.




Then drag the icon of professions to a spot on your screen.



I hope this solves allot of problems, and enjoy..

Nice stats, I'm jealous.. I have a few level 2's, lol..

So now that we know how to see our stats for professions, do we define our profession or do the stats define them for us? What I mean is there some place we click to actually make our profession known, or does it just show it automatically? I saw where next to Laser Pistoleer there is a red dot there.. Just made me wonder...

[Henceforth]

When you click on the eye logo (lower right corner) you show all your stats to others. If you disable it, only your title and attributes are shown.

You can set your title with the red dot (only one profession) and you can even disable the title by clicking the dot again to completly hide your profession.

Cool, now I know and knowing is half the battle...

Nive tutorial, and v useful for noobs because the profession window is not mapped to a key initially, so often it's only discovered when someone asks, or they get a level gain.

Maybe worth mentioning that action library is not always on X. Sometimes it's on Y. I've seen some theories that say this is dependent on when you joined EU (ie newer player have it on Y). It could also be the German vs English keyboard layout which switches X & Y. Whatever - the default key for action library may be Y for some players.
