Professions & Skills

Beyond the classic Tibia skills, Krovot Old features a full gathering, crafting & living-world loop. You harvest raw materials out in the world, level up your professions by using them, and turn those materials into tools, elite gear, buff food, powerful relics and equipment-enhancing runes at dedicated crafting stations. Every profession is a long-term grind — from level 0 all the way to 100.

Your progress is shown in the in-game Skills panel: Fishing (the native Tibia skill) plus four custom professions — Crafting, Cooking, Mining and Skinning.

The Five Professions

Mining

Tool: Pickaxe

Strike mountain rocks for Ore, crystal veins for Crystal Orbs and the occasional raw gem — the backbone of every forged item.

Skinning

Tool: Cleaver

Skin the corpses of slain creatures for hides. Tougher monsters drop rarer leathers — if your cleaver is good enough.

Fishing

Tool: Fishing Rod

The native skill. Crafted rods reel in premium fish across oceans, icy seas, swamps and even lava.

Crafting

Tool: Forge

At a Forge, turn ore, orbs, leather and gems into tools, fishing rods, elite gear, relics and runes.

Cooking

Tool: Oven

At an Oven, bake pies and lasagna that restore food and grant temporary stat buffs.

How Profession Leveling Works

Every time you use a profession — each pick swing, each skinning attempt, each fish reeled in, each item crafted — you earn tries toward the next level. The higher your level, the more tries the next one costs, so the road to 100 is a true long-term goal.

Your level also makes you more effective. Gathering tools have a base success chance, and your skill adds a bonus on top of it:

Unlocking a Profession

Anyone can pick up any profession from level 0 — no quest required. But once you reach the unlock milestone, the profession is officially mastered and three things happen:

• A celebratory message and effect mark the moment.
• From then on you earn tries 50% faster in that profession — momentum rewards commitment.
• You are granted that profession's outfit, which you can wear with pride.

Looking for guidance? Seek out the master Switch in the Temple of Thais. He tracks all five professions, can unlock one for you the moment you qualify, and hands out the matching outfit on request. See the Mentor & Rewards section below.

Mining

Equip a pickaxe and use it on a mining target. There are two kinds of nodes:

• Mountain rocks — yield Ore (the main forging material) and, with a small chance that rises with your Mining skill, a raw gem (small ruby, emerald, sapphire, amethyst or diamond).
• Crystal veins — yield Crystal Orbs, the seed material every starter tool is forged from.

Veins are repeatable nodes: each strike rolls a chance to extract and slowly depletes the node. Once exhausted, a vein regenerates on its own after 30 minutes, so a mining spot is never lost — it simply needs time to recharge. Even a plain pick can chip a Crystal Orb out of a vein (low chance), which is how a brand-new miner gets started.

A clever twist: the weaker your pickaxe, the more attempts it makes per use — a Rough Pickaxe swings harder (more tries) while a Crystal Pickaxe is precise. Better tools also have a small chance to break, so keep a spare.

Image	Pickaxe	Base on Rocks	Base on Veins
	Rough Pickaxe Tier I	35%	30%
	Forged Pickaxe Tier II	60%	55%
	Crystal Pickaxe Tier III	85%	80%

Ore

Raw metal mined from mountain rocks. The core material for forged tools and gear.

Crystal Orb

Extracted from crystal veins. Used to forge your very first tools and as a binder in advanced recipes.

Skinning

Equip a cleaver and use it on a fresh creature corpse to extract leather. Special corpses are repeatable and allow several skinning attempts before they are used up. The leather you get depends on the type of creature you skinned — and the rarer the hide, the better your cleaver must be. Each cleaver can only skin creatures up to a certain class:

Image	Leather	Skinned from
	Leather —	Most regular creatures across the world.
	Fish Leather Tier I	Premium fish caught with a crafted rod.
	Dragon Leather Tier II	Dragon, Dragon Lord, Frost Dragon, Sea Dragon, Demodras and similar drakes.
	Demonic Leather Tier III	Demon and the great demon bosses (Morgaroth, Orshabaal, Bazir, Apocalypse, Infernatil).

Image	Cleaver	Base Chance	Can skin
	Blackhide Cleaver Tier I	35%	Up to class 2 (common beasts)
	Crimson Hunting Cleaver Tier II	60%	Up to class 4 (dragons & drakes)
	Primordial Obsidian Cleaver Tier III	85%	Up to class 5 (demons & bosses)

Tip: a weaker cleaver makes more skinning attempts per corpse, but it simply cannot harvest a dragon or a demon — you need the matching tier. Cleavers also have a small chance to break with use.

Fishing

Fishing uses the native Tibia skill, but the crafted rods unlock premium fish — used both for cooking and as a source of Fish Leather. The higher the rod's tier, the bigger its catch pool and the better its base chance to land a premium fish (which also rises with your Fishing skill).

Image	Rod	Base Catch Chance	Where it fishes
	Mariner Rod Tier I	25%	Open water — basic premium fish
	Abyssal Rod Tier II	45%	Open water — wider premium pool
	Celestial Rod Tier III	70%	Open water — all six premium fish
	Volcanic Rod Special	85%	Lava only — Lava Fish & Firemouth Fish

Fishing by Region

The waters of Krovot are not all the same. Certain fish only appear in specific biomes — cast your line in the right place to land them:

• Open ocean — Bluefin Tuna, Clownfish, Golden Dorado.
• Frozen seas (fishing near ice & snow) — Northern Pike and Salmon.
• Swamps (fishing near swamp ground) — the Green Perch.
• Lava — only the Volcanic Rod can fish here, pulling the exclusive Lava Fish and Firemouth Fish.

Tip: every premium fish restores 12 food. Skin them with a cleaver to obtain Fish Leather, the material used to craft the higher-tier fishing rods.

Crafting Stations

Crafting happens at two stations placed in the world. Stand next to one and use it (or click Open) to open its recipe window. The window shows every recipe you can attempt, its materials (green = you have it, red = you're missing it) and your live success chance.

The Forge also requires an Iron Hammer in your backpack. The Oven has no such requirement — cooking is open to everyone from the start.

The Forge

Powers the Crafting profession. Turns ore, crystal orbs, leather and gems into pickaxes, cleavers, fishing rods, elite gear, Giant Gems and runes.

The Oven

Powers the Cooking profession. Bakes pies and lasagna that restore food and grant temporary stat buffs.

Forge Recipes (Crafting)

Your first tools are forged almost purely from Crystal Orbs with a high success rate — the perfect bootstrap for a new crafter. Higher tiers demand ore, themed leathers and a minimum Crafting (and sometimes Mining) level, and grow steadily harder to craft.

Image	Result	Materials	Gold	Requirements
	Rough Pickaxe	5 Crystal Orb	500 gp	Crafting 0
	Blackhide Cleaver	5 Crystal Orb	300 gp	Crafting 0
	Mariner Rod	4 Crystal Orb	400 gp	Crafting 0
	Forged Pickaxe	10 Ore, 3 Crystal Orb	2,000 gp	Crafting 15, Mining 10
	Crimson Hunting Cleaver	8 Ore, 3 Dragon Leather, 2 Crystal Orb	2,500 gp	Crafting 15
	Abyssal Rod	12 Ore, 5 Fish Leather, 4 Crystal Orb	3,500 gp	Crafting 20
	Volcanic Rod	18 Ore, 6 Crystal Orb	6,000 gp	Crafting 35, Mining 25
	Crystal Pickaxe	20 Ore, 4 Dragon Leather, 8 Crystal Orb	8,000 gp	Crafting 40, Mining 30
	Primordial Obsidian Cleaver	20 Ore, 6 Demonic Leather, 6 Crystal Orb	9,000 gp	Crafting 40
	Celestial Rod	25 Ore, 12 Fish Leather, 10 Crystal Orb	11,000 gp	Crafting 50

The Forge also crafts Giant Gems (Crafting 55) and attribution runes (Crafting 40) — covered in their own sections below.

Iron Hammer & Breaking Down Gear

The Iron Hammer is the blacksmith's core tool: you must carry one to forge anything. Each character can claim a free Iron Hammer from a quest chest in the Minotaur Mountain.

Beyond forging, the Iron Hammer lets you break metal equipment back into Ore — perfect for recycling rare drops you don't need. Here's how:

Only equipment with real attributes / rarity can be broken (the better and rarer the item, the more Ore you get, anywhere from a couple of bars up to a small pile). As in classic blacksmithing, a break can occasionally yield nothing — metal is unforgiving.

Oven Recipes (Cooking)

Every pie restores 30 food and grants a 10-minute buff. Lasagna is the master dish: it restores 40 food and stacks several bonuses for 15 minutes. All cooking materials are common fruit, flour, meat, cheese and fish — flour is milled from wheat the classic way.

Image	Dish	Materials	Buff	Requirement
	Apple Pie	2 Flour, 3 Red Apple	+5 Sword / Axe / Club	Cooking 0
	Pumpkin Pie	2 Flour, 1 Pumpkin	+8% Max Health	Cooking 0
	Pecan Pie	2 Flour, 3 Bunch of Wheat, 1 Cookie	+8 Shielding	Cooking 0
	Lemon Pie	2 Flour, 3 Orange	+8 Fishing	Cooking 5
	Red Berry Pie	2 Flour, 2 Cherry, 2 Strawberry	+3 Magic Level	Cooking 5
	Chocolate Pie	2 Flour, 3 Cookie	+2 Magic Level, +2 Melee	Cooking 10
	Cherry Pie	2 Flour, 5 Cherry	+6 Distance	Cooking 10
	Strawberry Pie	2 Flour, 5 Strawberry	+8% Max Mana	Cooking 10
	Lasagna	2 Flour, 2 Meat, 1 Cheese, 1 Fish	+3 Melee, +2 Magic Level, +5% Max HP/Mana	Cooking 20

Note: food buffs are temporary stat boosts — only one food buff can be active at a time, and eating a new pie refreshes it. Pies are perfect to pop right before a hunt or a tough fight.

Giant Gems (Crafting relics)

The pinnacle of the crafting tree. Giant Gems are forged at Crafting 55 from handfuls of raw gems (mined from rocks), Ore and Crystal Orbs — the hardest, most expensive crafts in the game. Use one to crush it and absorb a powerful 30-minute buff. Only one gem buff can be active at a time.

Image	Giant Gem	Materials (Crafting 55)	Buff — 30 min
	Giant Ruby	10 Small Ruby, 15 Ore, 8 Crystal Orb	+5 Magic Level, +15% Max Mana
	Giant Emerald	10 Small Emerald, 15 Ore, 8 Crystal Orb	+15% Max Health
	Giant Sapphire	10 Small Sapphire, 15 Ore, 8 Crystal Orb	+8 Magic Level
	Giant Amethyst	10 Small Amethyst, 15 Ore, 8 Crystal Orb	+8 Melee (Sword/Axe/Club), +5 Shielding
	Giant Diamond	10 Small Diamond, 20 Ore, 12 Crystal Orb	+5 Melee, +5 Distance, +4 Magic, +10% Max HP & Mana

Runes of Attribution

Attribution runes permanently enhance your equipment. Use a rune "with" a matching piece of gear to add a bonus; each item can absorb up to 5 runes of the same kind (the bonus stacks). The success chance is 40% + Crafting × 0.5 (cap 90%), and the rune is always consumed — win or lose. Runes coexist with rarity bonuses, so you can enhance an item you've already upgraded.

Image	Rune	Applies to	Bonus (up to 5×)
	Ember Rune	Weapon	+3 Attack per rune
	Protector Rune	Shield	+2 Defense per rune
	Obsidian Rune	Helmet	+2 Armor per rune
	Aegis Rune	Legs	+2 Armor per rune
	Astral Rune	Boots	+1 Armor per rune

Where to get runes

Craft them at the Forge (Crafting 40, from Ore, Crystal Orbs and a raw gem), or find a Mystic Bag — a rare drop from Demons and other elite creatures that, when used, opens into a random rune.

Mentor, Achievements & Ancient Coins

Professions are also a path of prestige. As you master them you earn achievements that pay out a new currency — Ancient Coins — and open the door to a hunters' organisation.

Achievements & Ancient Coin rewards

Achievement	Earned by	Ancient Coins
Apprentice (per profession)	Unlock a profession	5 each
Master (per profession)	Reach skill level 50	15 each
Grandmaster (per profession)	Reach skill level 100	40 each
Versatile	Unlock all five professions	50

There are 16 achievements in total (one Apprentice, one Master and one Grandmaster per profession, plus the grand Versatile reward). Type !conquistas in-game to review which you've earned and your Ancient Coin total.

Tier Colors

Crafted tools, leathers, gems and dishes carry a colored border that marks their grade at a glance. The same color scale used by the Rarity Upgrade system applies here, capped at Epic:

The border is stamped the moment an item is created (forged, baked, mined or skinned). See the Rarity Upgrade page for the full rarity color scale.

Craft Success Calculator

Crafting is probabilistic (Miracle-style): chance = base + skill × multiplier, capped at 95%. On a failure the materials are consumed but no item and no gold are spent. Move the sliders to your skill level.
