Nexus Workstations And Professions Guide

[OhDeerLord 673]

Hello and welcome to Lord of the Craft! 

This guide will outline how to use the Nexus plug in with Crafting and Professions and serve as a baseline for those who are new to the server or just a little confused!

So let's get going!

 

Getting started

 

So you've found where you're going to stay, or you just want to quickly craft some wood tools so you aren't defenseless.  Just like regular minecraft you’ll need to get some wood, either by punching it out or getting some from a friend. 

Simply make you crafting bench in the 2x2 crafting grid in your inventory!

 

The Nexus Crafting Interface

 

 

Once you’ve placed down, or found, a crafting bench you will see this interface

The chests act as folders or subsections, the first one is ‘Building’ and contains refinements to wood materials, this includes stairs, slabs, doors and chests as well as other wood items as you can see here

Clicking the enderpearl in the corner brings you back to the previous window.

There are several items that will craft instantly and be brought into your inventory

But some require a crafting time- this is time you can use to go do some other work around your place such as cutting wood or tending animals- Or just relax for a few seconds or a few minutes. Sometimes a crafting recipe will take hours to craft because it is a complex or expensive item.

As you level up in the profession that crafts that item, craft times will lower and the quality will often raise. We will touch on professions a little later.

 

Workstations

 

What do the different workstations do, a quick reference

 

Anvil. Blacksmith- Creating Armor and Weapons.

Tanning Rack. Leatherworker- Creating leather items such as Armor and saddles.

Mortar and Pestle. Turning flowers into dye.

Cauldron. Chef- Creating delicious food items.

Masonry Block. Stonemason- Creating stone tools and decorative blocks.

Enchanting Table. Enchanter- Adding magical qualities to items.

Tinker’s Post. Tinker- For all your redstone needs.

Brewing Stand. Alchemist- Creating potions to augment your skills.

Crafting Bench. Woodworker- Creating wooden tools and decorative blocks.

 

Now, more than just the crafting bench there is a lot more stations used to craft items. Here are each of them with some short descriptions.

 

Workstation Guide and Crafting

 

 

Anvil, used with the profession of Blacksmithing

Tanning Rack, used for leatherworking. This station is unique in that it requires the fences at the sides to work. It looks like a piece of Brown Wool with fences on the sides.

Mortar and Pestle, this is used to turn flowers into dye by grinding them up. It looks like a flowerpot, but cannot hold flowers. So sad.

Cauldron, used in the cooking profession, this workstation is unique because it requires the cauldron be filled with water and a fire to be underneath.

Masonry Block, used in the Stonemason profession. A Masonry Block looks like a un-extended piston.

Enchanting Table, created using the Masonry Block, this is used in the Enchanting Profession. This station is unique in that it requires ‘Runes’ that you discover in-game in order to craft either from experimenting or from other players.

Tinker’s Post, for all redstone based crafting. Looks like a daylight sensor.

Brewing Stand, created using the Tinkers Post, this is used in the Alchemy profession, creating potions. This station is unique in that it requires you to find recipes, either by experimenting or finding them out from other players.

And Finally, everyone needs one of these, The crafting bench! This is used to make all the other crafting stations and also is the crafting station for the woodworking skill.

 

Each of them require different parts, these can be found in the ‘parts’ section of the Crafting bench or for Enchanting Table and Brewing Stand, in the Stone Masonry block and the Tinkers post respectively. I will demonstrate by making a Mortar and Pestle on a Crafting Bench.

 

Demonstration

 

 

Firstly, I check the recipe by hovering over what I want to craft

It needs Cobblestone and.. wait- whats a pestle! That’s not a minecraft item! Lets go look in ‘Parts’!

Aha!

There it is! It only requires cobblestone to make. Now, other crafting stations will require much more expensive materials, such as the Tinkers Post which requires redstone. 

When something requires a craft time, you see this interface-

Simply hit ‘create’ to start the timer, you can also choose to stop crafting something at anytime during the crafting process. When it is done the cancel button will turn into a golden nugget, that you can click to collect your item.

Ding!

Now that I have the pestle, I can make the Mortar and Pestle Crafting Station.

 

 

Professions

 

Professions! I will split these into two categories, Crafting and Gathering. If you read previous types you already know each of the crafting professions, but here they are again.

 

Crafting Professions

 

Chef, Tinker, Stonemason, Leatherworker, Blacksmith, Woodworker, Alchemist, and Enchanter. 

See previous section for what workstation each of these professions use.

As a low level of any of these professions, there will be some items you cannot craft. To level up in the skill just keep crafting things in that profession and you will earn Experience and have higher tier crafting unlocked.

 

Gathering Professions

 

Miner, Lumberjack, Fisher, Farmer and Breeder.

As a low level of Miner, Lumberjack Fisher and Farmer, you will not be able to gather materials as efficiently, as well you will not be able to gather certain materials. Examples

It takes a Fair Farmer in order to farm Potatoes. 

A low level Miner cannot mine as deep or mine certain materials

A low level Lumberjack cannot cut down certain types of trees.

A low level Fisher will get more ‘junk’ items rather than fish.

A low level Farmer will get less seeds and wheat from farming till they level up, and cannot gather certain plants.

For Breeder, animals have a cool down time after they breed, but as you level up this time gets smaller and smaller.

 

Having a Ranch or Pets as a Breeder

 

 

With taking care of animals, it’s rather unique. No more massive farms filled to the brim with cows and no consequences. In order to maintain a pasture of animals you need to keep them fed! This means putting hay bales in their enclosure, as well as tall grass for them to graze on.

For owning unique items like Cats, Wolves, and Horses, you’ll want to have a Training Stick! This can be created by a woodworker at a Crafting bench, it looks like a wooden hoe.

Holding this in your hand and right clicking the air will show your current pets.

As you can see, I own two horses.

If you right click on one of your owned pets with your training stick, you get this information

Promising-Apprentice can have 2 Pets

Fair-Adept can have 3 Pets

Vetran-Masterfull can have 4 Pets

Legendary-Aengulic can have 5 Pets

A persona can have max 2 wolves to prevent Massive Wolf Armies.

 

Simple!

 

Racial professions

 

A racial profession is a skill that your character will have based on what race you choose. This means that this skill will not be capped at a certain level. The skills are as followed

 

Wood Elf/ Forest Dwarf: Breeder

High Elf: Alchemist

Dark Elf: Stonemason

Mountain Dwarf/ Cave Dwarf: Miner

Humans do not have a specific racial profession and instead they can have two none inept skills capped two tiers higher than usual. Also, if you have auto aging on, they will learn skills quicker.

For more information on racial professions, boosts, and perks you can go to the wiki page and simply click on the race you want to look at.

 

Choosing a main and secondary profession - And the drawbacks of having a secondary profession

 

 

Choose a main and even secondary profession can be very beneficial. If you choose to not choose a skill to specialize in, all of your skills will be capped at “Apprentice.” Choosing a skill to be your main profession, however, takes this cap off so that you may level it all the way to Aengulic (the highest skill level possible). The command to choose your main skill and other basic skill commands can be found here:

You can also get this list yourself by typing /Sk

You may choose a main and secondary profession to max out but the downside to choosing a second is that all of your other skills are capped at “Inept.” This is the lowest skill tier.

Excellent work. I see I assigned the right people to this. 

 

Thank you!

Wonderful guide!

[Demotheus 651]

What I want to know is 

 

1) There's no list of things to craft with an enchanter's table thing, so (if I'm correct) it's more or less trial and error. How do you know that you can craft a certain rune or not?

 

2) What experiences does crafting certain things give you or chopping this or mining that, etc. etc.

 

Otherwise, great guide. 4/5. Add those in you get 5/5 and a +1 rep. 

[Peanut Butter Jelly 24]

Yay, now I know what to do with professions!

[Demotheus 651]

Yay, now I know what to do with professions!

I can picture the guy in your profile picture (patrick star!~)  saying those exact words.

[Faunherer 44]

Also for racial professions!

Orc: Leather working

Goblin: Mining and tinker

 

Not too sure about goblin, but that's how it was in Thales.

 

Also!  Your secondary profesion caps out at proficient I believe, or at least it did for me with mining.

 

You should include the order that skill levels are obtained too!  Such as promising->bungling->etc etc.
