As mentioned in the Master Crafting post, we’re now sharing the answers regarding crafting XP changes that will go live with Verse 5.1.2, and that will affect: Blacksmithing, Armorsmithing, Leatherworking, Tailoring, and Weapon Smithing.

Will crafting XP be directly proportional to the total material cost of a recipe (including sub-components like charcoal, oil, padding, etc.)?

Yes. At a high level, crafting XP now closely tracks the true cost of a recipe, including sub-components and intermediary materials. If a recipe is expensive to make, whether because it requires rare materials, multiple steps, or significant preparation, it should feel meaningfully rewarding in XP. The goal here is simple: if you invest more resources, you should get more progress in return.
One important consequence of this approach is that many sub-component crafts now grant less XP than before, while the final recipe that consumes those components grants significantly more XP. In practice, this means that when you craft all the required sub-components and complete the final combine, the total XP earned across the entire crafting chain is, in almost all cases, higher than it was previously. 

Blacksmithing is the main exception to this rule. A large portion of Blacksmithing progression is built around intermediary and sub-component crafting rather than final combines, and those steps are intentionally meant to be meaningful progression points on their own. As a result, expensive Blacksmithing sub-components still provide strong XP returns, ensuring that the profession retains its established leveling flow and remains rewarding even when focused heavily on component production.

This shift overall helps reduce situations where optimal leveling involves endlessly crafting intermediaries in most professions, while still fully rewarding players who engage with deeper, multi-step recipes.

Are you using a formula-based XP system where each ingredient has an XP value that adds up for each recipe?

Yes, with an important nuance.
XP is calculated using a formula in which materials contribute value, but those values are weighted differently by profession. For example, tailoring components translate very efficiently into XP for Tailoring, but contribute proportionally less XP when used in professions like Armorsmithing.

This approach lets us better balance progression across professions without completely redesigning every recipe’s ingredient list. It gives us consistency and flexibility, while still respecting the identity and economy of each craft.

Is there a target “XP per resource” consistency across professions, or are some intended to be slower/more resource-intensive?

We’ve worked to bring professions closer together in terms of the overall effort required to level, especially where there were large outliers before. That said, not every profession is meant to feel identical.
Some crafts are intentionally more demanding to progress. The goal isn’t perfect uniformity, but fairness, predictability, and clearer tradeoffs.

Will XP changes be retroactive for existing crafters, or will there be a one-time adjustment/bump?

This is a very fair question, but unfortunately, no. There’s no reliable way to retroactively calculate XP under the new system without making assumptions that would be inaccurate or unfair

Will simpler/low-cost recipes keep their current XP, or will they be reduced to discourage mass-crafting trivial items?

In almost all cases, they will keep their current XP.
Our approach wasn’t to broadly nerf cheap recipes, but instead to anchor XP expectations around leveling recipes that players are already familiar with and comfortable using. From there, more expensive recipes scale upward much more aggressively.

It’s also worth noting that some of those anchor recipes, especially at higher tiers, actually received XP increases. In a few professions, the late-stage leveling grind had simply become too punishing relative to the materials invested, and we felt that bringing those anchors up was necessary to keep progression reasonable and motivating.

The result is that high-cost and rare-material recipes now grant significantly more XP than before, while familiar leveling paths largely remain intact. There are a few outliers in each profession where low-cost recipes grant less XP than before, but these are the exception, not the rule.

Will the XP penalty on failed crafts be reduced or removed?

Great question. Yes, we do intend to reduce this penalty. However, this change won’t be part of the initial Public Test Server release. We want to first validate the new XP balance as a whole before adjusting failure penalties on top of it, but this is very much on our radar.

Will crafting recipes clearly display expected XP rewards in advance?

This is something we’ve actively discussed. For now, we’re going to closely watch player feedback before committing to displaying this information on the recipes. Our hope is that the new balance builds enough trust and intuition that players feel confident making crafting decisions without needing to see exact numbers.

The underlying rule should become easy to internalize: Expensive recipes give a lot more XP, and recipes using rare ingredients give even more on top of that.
If that expectation isn’t landing clearly in practice, we’re open to revisiting how XP information is surfaced.

Mass crafting & leveling efficiency issues

Will the rebalance remove the current incentive to mass-craft gloves/shoes/shoulder pads as the fastest leveling method?

Largely, yes. Because XP now scales much more directly with total material cost, the advantage of repeatedly crafting the cheapest viable item in a tier has been significantly reduced. Those recipes are still perfectly valid for progression, but they’re no longer disproportionately efficient compared to more complex crafts.
The intent is that players can choose what to craft based on usefulness or preference, rather than feeling forced into a narrow set of “XP-optimal” items.

Will complex items (e.g. chest pieces, breastplates) now grant meaningfully more XP than simple ones?

Yes.  Items that require more materials, more steps, or rarer inputs now grant substantially more XP. In many cases, complex items grant dramatically more XP than before, reflecting both their cost and their place in the crafting ecosystem.
If a recipe feels like a serious investment, it should also feel like a serious step forward in progression.

Will all recipes within a level range provide viable XP, instead of having clear “fast tracks”?

That’s the goal. While there will always be some variance, the rebalance is designed so that most recipes within a given level range provide reasonable and competitive XP. Players shouldn’t feel like there’s only one correct recipe per tier to avoid wasting time or materials.

Will green and blue items grant significantly more XP than grey items?

Yes. Recipes that produce higher-quality items naturally involve greater cost and risk, and the XP now reflects that. Green and blue crafts grant noticeably more XP than grey equivalents, reinforcing the idea that taking on more demanding recipes should be rewarded accordingly.
For example, Herald’s Plates of the Ironroot II now grants dramatically more XP across all quality tiers. The common version yields roughly 670% more XP than before, while crafting the uncommon (green) version grants about 150% more XP than the common, and the rare (blue) version grants roughly 350% more XP than the common. All of these XP increases derive from the value of the rare ingredients used in the higher-quality recipes.

Will there be profession XP for repairing items?

No. Repairs are a maintenance activity, not a progression path.

Will there be a system to recycle/salvage crafted items?

Yes, we’re planning this, but it’s not ready to share yet. Systems like recycling, partial material returns, or Grace-related interactions have wide-reaching implications, so we want to introduce them with clear goals and proper context. We’ll share more details when it’s ready, and at that point, we’ll be looking for player feedback.

Will there be: Quantity selectors at crafting benches? Bulk crafting for mastered recipes/components? 
Will crafting stations get: “Take All” buttons? “Craft All” options? Cancel buttons? Default recipe selections per station?

These features are not part of the upcoming update, but we hear the request loud and clear.

Bulk crafting and core crafting QoL improvements like quantity selectors, “take all” / “craft all” buttons and cancel options are things we very much want to add. We’ll share more when these are ready to be discussed in concrete terms.

Are recipes themselves changing, or only XP values?

Primarily XP values. The focus of this update is on rebalancing crafting XP rather than a broad redesign of recipes. That said, there are a small number of targeted recipe adjustments where they were clearly necessary to support the new balance.

Will recipe levels shift (e.g. gloves lower, chest higher)?

Yes, in a targeted and intentional way. We adjusted recipe levels in Armorsmithing, Tailoring, and Leatherworking so that at most points in progression, you have access to a wider variety of equipment slots, not just gloves or boots, but also chest pieces, helmets, pants, and more.
We also reduced the level gap between common, uncommon, and rare versions of the same recipe, especially at higher tiers. In Tier 1, this works largely the same as before, but by Tier 4, the uncommon and rare variants sit much closer in level to the common version, making higher-quality crafts accessible earlier and more consistently.

This isn’t a full re-tiering of all recipes, but a focused pass to improve progression flow and reduce dead zones where only a narrow set of crafts felt viable.

Will any recipes move to higher levels, causing players to lose access temporarily?

Yes, in some cases. Many recipes have moved to slightly higher or lower levels as part of the broader effort to improve progression flow and slot variety across professions. We know this can be frustrating, and we didn’t make these changes lightly, but they were necessary to achieve the goals outlined above.

We hope that the overall XP rebalance, improved rewards for expensive and complex crafts, and a smoother leveling experience more than make up for these adjustments, and that crafting as a whole feels better and more enjoyable than before. We’re asking for a bit of forgiveness on this one, and we’ll be watching feedback closely.

Will trivial/unused recipes be removed or reworked?

Not as part of this update. The professions targeted in this first XP balance pass don’t have many truly trivial or unused recipes, so removing or reworking them wasn’t a priority here. Even niche recipes often serve a purpose in the broader system, and we didn’t want to remove content as part of an XP-focused rebalance.

This kind of cleanup is more relevant for some of the other professions coming later, where those issues are more pronounced. There was one exception: the steel anvil recipe, which was available due to a bug and has been removed.

Will recipes better match material acquisition difficulty and biome danger?

Yes, indirectly. Because XP now scales with material cost and rarity, recipes that require materials from more dangerous biomes or harder-to-access sources naturally grant more XP. This creates a stronger link between risk, effort, and reward without requiring large-scale recipe restructuring.

Will inconsistencies like low-level recipes requiring high-level materials be fixed?

Yes. We addressed these inconsistencies as part of this pass for the professions in question. The other professions will follow.

Why are so many parts centralized in Blacksmithing, causing progression imbalance?
Will Armor/Weapon Smithing get missing components to progress properly?

Blacksmithing is intentionally a foundational profession that produces many shared components. 
The XP rebalance directly addresses the resulting progression dynamics by ensuring Armorsmithing and Weaponsmithing recipes now grant strong, competitive XP that reflects their true material cost.

How will XP rebalance affect: Jewelcrafting? Professions that share materials (silver, gold, iron)?

It won’t be part of this first pass. 
Jewelcrafting is not included in the initial crafting XP rebalance, but it is planned for a future update. We wanted to focus this pass on a smaller set of professions and do the work thoroughly rather than spreading changes too thin.
We’ll share more details once Jewelcrafting is up next.

Will there be adjustments to prevent power creep from enchanted + mastercrafted gear?

The current PvE balance already accounts for the headroom created by Mastercrafted Item Power bonuses. We’ll continue to reevaluate this as systems evolve, especially as we move toward finalizing the consumables revamp.

Our goal is to ensure that exceptional gear feels rewarding without becoming mandatory.

How do you envision crafting professions remaining economically viable when everyone can craft everything early/mid game?
Will recipes be reworked to ensure sellable items at all levels?

Crafting professions aren’t intended to be economically equal at every stage of progression. Early and mid-game access is meant to support self-sufficiency and experimentation, not to fully define long-term market value.
Lower-tier items are intended to have economic relevance, but we agree that the current sinks for them aren’t strong enough. We have plans to address this and give those items clearer purpose and demand, but those changes aren’t ready to be shared in detail.
Over time, economic viability is expected to emerge from specialization, time investment, mastery, access to higher-tier recipes and materials, and exceptional outcomes like Master Crafting. As progression deepens, the gap between “can craft” and “can craft well and consistently” becomes increasingly important.

In short, early accessibility supports gameplay flow, while sustained economic value comes from expertise, scarcity, and reliability—not just recipe unlocks.

Are there plans for: Specializations? Higher profession caps?

Yes. We’re planning to have specializations within each profession, allowing crafters to focus on specific areas and differentiate themselves meaningfully. Alongside that, we’re working on ways for specialized crafters to push their capabilities beyond the base profession cap.
We’re not adding additional tiers just yet. The priority is making the existing progression, recipes, and systems feel great first before expanding outward.

Will consumables (oils, kits, buffs) be added to create ongoing demand?

Yes, that’s the plan. Expanding and improving consumables is a key part of creating sustained demand, and this work primarily affects the next set of professions we’ll be focusing on. We’ll share more once those changes are ready to be discussed in detail.

Can you clearly explain the crafting changes with concrete examples?

Crafting XP now scales with the true material cost of a recipe, including sub-components. Expensive and complex crafts grant substantially more XP than cheap ones.
Sub-components generally grant less XP on their own, while the final item that consumes them grants much more (with Blacksmithing as a deliberate exception). In almost all cases, crafting the full chain yields more total XP than before.
At any given level in Armorsmithing, Tailoring, and Leatherworking, you now have access to a wider range of equipment slots that all provide competitive XP.

Helm — Pilgrim's Helmet II — lvl 16 → 198% XP compared to before
Chest — Pilgrim's Breastplate II — lvl 11 → 668% XP compared to before
Arms — Pilgrim's Vambraces II — lvl 18 → 92% XP compared to before
Gloves — Pilgrim's Gauntlets II — lvl 20 → 187% XP compared to before
Pants — Pilgrim's Legguards II — lvl 12 → 645% XP compared to before
Boots — Pilgrim's Sabatons II — lvl 15 → 194% XP compared to before

Larger items like chest pieces are now clearly worth crafting, and higher-quality versions grant significantly more XP.

:
Ironside's Sabatons of Quiet Guard II
Common → 198% XP compared to before
Uncommon (Green) → 52% more XP than the Common version
Rare (Blue) → 355% more XP than the Common version

A small number of recipes moved to slightly higher levels to better reflect their material and risk requirements, but the overall XP rebalance is designed to offset that.
The end result is fewer “fast-track” recipes, more viable choices per tier, and progression that rewards crafting useful items instead of repeating the cheapest option.

Upcoming Crafting XP changes - AMA

 Hello Paxians, As mentioned in the Master Crafting post, we’re now sharing the answers regarding crafting XP changes that will go live with Verse 5.1...

Thank you for your participation in the AMA thread on our Discord server. We received quite a lot of questions, and have decided to split the answers into two parts so as not overwhelm you with information.
The first part will focus on Master Crafting, and the second part, which will be published early next week, will be about Crafting XP changes.
Let’s dive in!

What exactly qualifies as a Master Crafted item? Required skill level? Must the recipe be trivial/mastered?

To answer all of that, an item will become Master Crafted if you roll a 95% success or higher when making the item. This means you have a chance to make an item Master Crafted regardless of your skill level. Still, the probability of Master Crafting an item is heavily dependent on the difference between your skill level and the recipe difficulty level. For a recipe that’s considered Mastered, you have about 45% chance of making a Master Crafted item based on the craft RNG roll. For more difficult items, the chance gets slimmer and slimmer, but there’s always the sliver of chance to get this even for the very hard crafts.

Is Mastercrafting a fixed bonus or variable?

Currently, the Master Crafting only affects items with Item Power. For these items, you get a fixed +50 bonus to the Item Power of the item. We have ideas for expanding the effect of Master Crafting in future releases.

Is Mastercrafting a one-off system or something that will expand over time?

We have plans to expand this later. As noted, this update only affects items with Item Power. We have ideas for how to integrate this into crafting the products into stackable items and make the buffs more interesting.

Does Mastercrafting increase: Durability? Lifetime? Tool effectiveness?

Tool effectiveness is based on the Item Power, so yes. Durability and lifetime are not affected, but we might change this in a future release.

Will higher-level master crafters produce stronger mastercrafted items?

No, but a higher skill level will expand the range of items you can Master Craft.

Will Mastercrafted items ever have additional effects beyond item power (e.g. fire, speed, specialization perks)?

Will Mastercrafted jewelry receive benefits as well?

Jewelcrafting is a very underserved crafting skill right now, and we really want to integrate Master Crafting to that profession as well, but this will happen in a future update.

Will Mastercrafted items have a distinct visual appearance?

Currently, the in-world item is not affected by Master Crafting.

Will the crafter’s name: Be visible on the item? Be visible on the market listing? Be optional for anonymity?

The Master Crafted items will feature a new design element in their item icons. The item stats panel will show the Master Crafting Item Power bonus in the Item Power calculation and the name of the crafter under it. The crafter's name is not optional.

Upcoming Master Crafting - AMA from Discord

 Hello Paxians, Thank you for your participation in the AMA thread on our Discord server. We received quite a lot of questions, and have decided to sp...

We recently unveiled our upcoming temporary Yule 

, and we’re happy to share that the event will run from December 17, 2025, after maintenance (around 11 am UTC), to January 13, 2026!

This month-long celebration will give you plenty of time to gather ingredients and craft our festive Yule recipes. To begin, you’ll need to craft (on the Log workbench) and equip your Yule Charm, which will unlock access to Yule-exclusive resources. If you unequip it, you won’t be able to see these resources. From there, you can explore all the seasonal recipes—and even prepare a few extra items to trade or sell once the event comes to an end. 😉

We’re looking forward to seeing your homes, villages, and market stalls transformed with seasonal decorations, and of course, your characters proudly wearing their new festive attire.

For our lore aficionados, we’ve also prepared a short text exploring the origins of Yule in Pax Dei and the symbolism of the goat.

The ancients said that in the First Winter, before people knew how to mourn or remember, the dead wandered.

The Veil was thin, but the paths were dark, and nothing guided the lost souls home. Even Meirothea, whose moonlight softened the night, could not illuminate every place where sorrow hid.

One evening, as she walked across the frost, Meirothea found a child’s spirit sitting beneath a bare tree. The child was cold, afraid, unable to speak their own name, for humanity had not yet learned a true language, only a handful of words, and none for grief or mourning.

Meirothea knelt and whispered, “Little one, follow my voice.” But the child could not rise. Their feet were tangled in shadows.

So, Meirothea called for her wolf. But the wolf’s steps were too heavy, and the shadows grew wary of his teeth.

Then, Meirothea called for her bird. But the bird’s wings could not reach the low places where sorrow pools.

So Meirothea called out a third time, into the stillness of the world: “If any creature knows the hidden roads, show them to me.”

From the dark roots of the tree, a small shape emerged. A creature with bright eyes, nimble hooves, and horns like twin crescent moons. It bowed to Meirothea, as though it had been waiting for her to speak.

The goat stepped to the child’s spirit and gently touched them with its horn. Where it touched, the shadows loosened. The goat turned, walking a path that had not existed the moment before, a path that wound between the thorns of sorrow and the deep drifts of forgetfulness. And the child followed. 

When they reached the Veil, the goat returned to Meirothea and bowed again. “Why do you help the lost?” the Redeemer asked. The goat did not speak, goats still rarely do, but it placed its forehead against her hand, and she understood: “Because the living rarely look downward, and the dead often do.”

From that day, the goat walked before Meirothea in all winter journeys. Its hooves found every hidden road. Its horns broke every snare of shadow. And its bright eyes reflected every soul who sought the way home.

So at Yule, we weave little straw goats to honor the First Guide. We place them in doorways, on hearths, or beside the fire or a lantern, believing the goat still walks unseen, clearing a path for the spirits of the departed.

And we say: “A wolf guards, a bird warns, but a goat leads you home.”

 Hello Paxians, We recently unveiled our upcoming temporary Yule  , and we’re happy to share that the event will run from December 17, 2025, after mai...

After a successful testing phase on the Public Test Shard Arcadia, we’re excited to announce that our new content update, 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29y8gWki8NY

We would like to thank all players who provided feedback during the testing phase, as that allowed us to make adjustments and changes before deploying to live. We are still 

 in a dedicated thread and evaluating the situation. Further changes are expected over the next few days/weeks as we continue to adjust.  

20251204103317_1.jpg

It’s time to rally your friends and clanmates and set foot in 

, harvest them as soon as they appear, and race toward the shrines to claim them and begin building in this contested land.

We can’t wait to witness the first skirmishes, clever strategies, and bold constructions emerging in the PvP zone.

Please note that the balancing related to Mournels and the Shrines was changed temporarily in Arcadia for testing purposes and has now been rolled back. The update going live uses the intended balancing, where the Mournel hardness and health are higher than during the test, and the Shrine claiming costs are back to 200 Mournwood and 50k Gold.

Verse 5 also brings several gameplay and crafting updates, plus new signs and decorations to discover.

Make sure you don’t miss anything and read the

In-game temporary event - Celebrate Yule

 Hello Paxians! 
As the year draws to a close,  Yule returns  once more! Last year, you discovered a short  , but this season, something greater await...

We know many of you want more information about Verse 5 and the upcoming Feudal features, so we'd like to share more details and outline what's coming up.

As we’ve discussed before, we have plans for expanding Pax Dei’s PvP gameplay in new directions. The underlying goal for the game hasn’t changed - we’re making a social sandbox MMO with a player-driven economy, and we’ve always seen PvP as an integral part of the game. Our previous update reworked Lyonesse, making it larger in terms of size and design. We also added the Enchantment resource to give players more reasons to go there. Now it's time to add the ability for players to claim land and build.

Before jumping into the details, here’s a summary of what’s coming:

We’re introducing a new resource: Mournwood, which you can harvest from new Mournel trees that only appear in Lyonesse.

Mournel trees are very rare and will only appear in the world in the evening during regional peak game hours. You will see the spot where a tree is about to appear in the game map of Lyonesse a set amount of time before it spawns.

Mournel trees are very tough and have a ton of health, fully harvesting one will likely take the sustained effort of many players. However, Mournwood is given in stages, a single player can harvest it, even if fully chopping down the tree would take much longer.

Lyonesse will gain 12 new Feudal Shrines that can be claimed by a Clan Elders and the Alderman. Claiming a Feudal Shrine site costs both Gold and Mournwood. The sites have a Mournwood upkeep cost, with storage for up to a week’s worth of upkeep.

Claiming a Feudal Shrine allows you to place three plots at the site, which can be upgraded to host up to 22 plots.

You can set a Feudal Shrine your clan has claimed as your Petra Mea Home point, and you can use a spell that costs 20 Grace to fast travel to it. If you die near a Feudal Shrine your clan has claimed, you can choose to respawn there.

As ever, your feedback on this update is vital and will help us shape Pax Dei going forward.

20251202125438_1.jpg

PvP 1.jpg

A new type of tree, Mournels, will start spawning in Lyonesse after the update. Spawn locations are revealed ahead of time on the map, but a Mournel tree will only actually spawn if players are in the area. A notification will be broadcast in Lyonesse to all players in the zone when a tree appears. This means if you want to harvest Mournwood, you should make traveling to and securing the spawn point a priority.

Mournel trees will appear at regular intervals between specific times, depending on the day:

Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday - 6 PM-10 PM

EU shards (including Arcadia) are set to CET (UTC+1)

We've set these to maximize prime gaming times in each region.

20251202121019_1.jpg

Mournel Tree dist.jpg

Mournel trees come in three sizes, which affects how much you can harvest from a tree and how long it takes to chop one down. Trees are harvested in stages, with the player who makes the final hit at each stage gaining the resources from that stage. Mournel trees are tough to chop, it's wise to come fully buffed with a good quality axe capable of chopping a hardness 3 tree. Taking a tree down alone will take a very long time, fully chopping down a tree is much more likely with a Clan.

As a side note, switching between a tool and the previous weapon you wielded no longer incurs a cooldown, so switching to your primary weapon to defend yourself will now enable you to fight instantly.
