Once your gathering level reached Level 10 (typically once you’ve completed Chapter 1 and 2 in the Newbie Guide), you’ll be prompted to pick a Cert (a profession) for your character. Each Cert comes with special skills and exclusive items as you level up. Choose wisely as you would be spending real money if you want to change it later.

Go to the Town Hall (if you’re already in a camp) or 2nd floor of Hope 101 Commerce Bureau to look for Jessica from the Third Caravan to get yourself certified in one of the 9 professions available. 

There are 3 categories of certs with a total of 11 certs available overall:

Which is the best profession?

Obviously the best profession to select would be the one that’s based on your gaming style. Each professions have its pros and cons.

If you’re like me who’s not into combat, you can go for gathering cert. You’ll get a steady stream of gold bars because you can sell exclusives at the trade city. The more you farm, the more gold bars you can earn. The downsize is that you don’t have any combat buffs. If you do Area Operations with combat cert players, you’ll most likely be the lowest DPS.

Just like gathering cert, crafting cert allow you to gain a steady stream of gold bars because you can sell the valuable workables you crafted at the trade cities. In fact, this profession is known to be the most lucrative in particular firearms maker. However, to craft your exclusive valuables, you’ll need to buy exclusive resources from the gatherers. In another words, you’re a producer and you need resources to make the final products. Again, your one obvious disadvantage is combat as well although your weapons and armors probably last longer depending on whether you’re a firearm maker or armorer.

Combat cert profession obviously have the upper hand when it comes to combat. They’re the ones dealing the highest DPS in Area Operations, Infected Invasions and Trapped Infection. The disadvantage is obviously they don’t have much exclusives to sell, thereby they can’t be making consistent income. However, most P2W gamers will survive just fine in the combat profession.
