Starting from Season 1 – The Crimson Plague it is possible to choose a Profession that will give access to special sets of skills.
In Season 2 there is an update for professions, but that change will not be integrated in this guide until it is more stable considering that Season 2 is still in Early Access stage.
It is up to everyone to decide which Profession to choose, if you are at a lower HQ level or power in regards to your server maybe choosing the Engineer is the best choice. At the same time if you prefer to use the new skills for war than choose War Leader.
Important to note that Season 1 Specific Skills are the same in Engineer and War Leader.
Suggestions:
- Completion of season buildings are the way to get the highest amount of professional experience
- Don’t be eager to acquire higher level of specific skill before looking at all the skills available that you might be able to unlock. Focus on the skill you need and not on the “shiny” new skills that are cool but don’t give you a strategic advantage.

Instructions

- The special skills may vary from season to season
- Each season has a different Level Cap for the profession
- Once the level reaches the Level Cap, further experience gained will not increase the profession level, but will be stored at a certain ratio. The stored profession experience will be sent via mail at the start of the next season
- Season 1 has Profession level cap set to 40. Some skills above level 40 shown here are not accessible and will change in Season 2.
Profession Level Experience
Once a Profession is selected you can activate skills based on the level of Profession Experience you unlocked.
Killing monsters, capturing cities, and upgrading season buildings are some of the actions that will earn you Profession EXP points.

One of this item type is available in the Season Battle Pass.
Reset current Profession Skills
It is possible to reset the current Profession skills, to do so you need to use a specific item called “Profession Skill Reset Book“

Acquire Skills
To acquire a skill 2 conditions need to be met:
- Profession level for the specific skill must be reached
- A skill point needs to be used
You will need to earn Profession EXP to level up. Given each Profession EXP level some skills unlock to be acquired
You can see how many skill points you have still available on the top of the page, on the right of the text “Available Profession Skill Points”.
On the right an image that shows which skills are available to be acquired/used based on the current profession experience level.
In fact in this case the Profession Experience Level is 33 as shown in the image above, so it is possible to acquire only skills up to level 30, those regarding level 35 are still locked.
Please note that the skills on the right (with green background) are Season 1 specific. So as per rule they will reset at Season end and the skill points will be refunded.
If a skill is unlocked from a Profession Experience Level than if skill points are available it will be possible to acquire a Profession skill. In the image above you see the level of each skill, for example 1/3.
