Making a Choice; Craft Vocations

Crafting from the LotRO Wiki.


To start crafting, you must first play through the initial series of quests and move out into the wider world. In various towns throughout Middle-earth, you will find a Master or Mistress of Apprentices who will help you select your vocation. Each vocation is made up of three professions, as shown below. At least one workplace of each type is near each Master or Mistress of Apprentices, so that you can immediately begin crafting. A Provisioner is also nearby, to sell you tools and some of the necessary ingredients.

Spend some time to carefully select your Vocation and its associated professions. Some Professions are very difficult and expensive to advance, while others are very easy. Perhaps the easiest vocation is Explorer because two of the professions (Prospector and Forester) allow gathering of resources and the third (Tailor) requires hides, which are readily available resources.

Easy Professions - Farmer, Prospector, Forester, Cook
Harder Professions - Tailor, Metalsmith, Weaponsmith, Woodworker
Very Hard Professions - Jeweller, Scholar.

Note: A character may change vocations at any time; however, you will lose ALL progress and recipes memorized in any profession that is not available in your new vocation.

Armourer - Prospector • Metalsmith • Tailor

Armsman - Prospector • Weaponsmith • Woodworker

Explorer - Forester • Prospector • Tailor

Historian - Farmer • Scholar • Weaponsmith

Tinker -Prospector • Cook • Jeweller

Woodsman -Farmer • Forester • Woodworker

Yeoman - Farmer • Cook • Tailor

Another thing to think about, once you reach and complete the first half of the Expert Tier in certain Crafts, you must then go on Crafting Quests to advance aby further in the other Tiers.

Tailor, Woodworker and Jeweler Quests are at Esteldin in the back. (North Downs)
Weaponsmith and Metalsmith are at Thorin's Hall Crafting Area. (Ered Luin)
Cook is at Micheal Delving Craft Hall. (The Shire)
Farmer is in Hobbiton up in the Farming Area. (The Shire)
Scholar is at Rivendell in the Last Homely House. (Trollshaws)
All guilds are at Galtrev. (Dunland)

Prospector and Forester do not have these Quests.
