# Progression & Upgrading

The further you progress in-game, the more mechanics, resources, items, and industries you will have access to.

Players will get access in our initial rollout to two new skills

### Cooking

The Cooking profession allows players to brew drinks, create meals, and cook fruits and vegetables. The player can use a variety of ingredients to create and discover new Recipes that provide enhanced buffs and unique effects.

### Crafting

Woodcrafting allows the player to build valuable items for their house. These items could include chairs, tables, chests, houses, windmills, tools, etc. Certain Woodcrafting items can also have a utility outside of their decorative purpose.

Similarly to the Cooking mechanic’s recipe system, for Woodcrafting, the player needs to own an Item Blueprint to be able to begin crafting.

### Blueprints, Recipes, and more!

Players will need to progress in-game, attend events, or maybe they just need to get lucky to unlock certain recipes or blueprints. These will recipes and blueprints will be huge unlocks for certain aspects of gameplay.
