Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships are grand opportunites to learn 50%, (of a Main Skill,) to add additional handiness to yourself. Being an apprentice allows a way to try out a class you may be more curious about, and assist your mentor in their crafts as you both grow in knowledge.
To take an apprenticeship:
You must find a mentor of that Main Class in-game, who has 75% of the reward items owned in their career. These players have a "Mentor" tag in the discord. They will teach you all that you know, and through this you will gain access to additional items and even tames.
You may only do 1 apprenticeship per character.
