Access to the use of apprentices may be contingent on the player's purchase of this feature through the Marketplace or a prior purchase of the feature pack, Age of Discovery, or (if more apprentices are added) other game expansions. Because access to features changed over time, check the Official Announcements or ask those already in the community.
- About Apprentice Ranks:
The initial rank of a tradeskill apprentice is Apprentice. By researching recipes tradeskill apprentices level up gradually and receive the ranks similar to the spells progression, i.e. Journeyman, Expert, etc. The following rank progression applies both to the Skyshrine and the cities' apprentices:
- 11 recipes researched - Journeyman
- 36 recipes researched - Expert
- 51 recipes researched - Artisan
- [information needed]
Common Apprentices[]
There are three tradeskill apprentices that can be obtained by anyone. They are looking for work in both The City of Freeport and Qeynos Capitol District, however there are no differences between them other than appearance.
- Qeynos Capitol District - on the 1st floor of the Ironforge Exchange building in North Qeynos:
- Coldain Tradeskill Apprentice ( 340, 0, -95 )
- Human Tradeskill Apprentice ( 339, 0, -95 )
- Othmir Tradeskill Apprentice ( 341, 0, -95 )
- The City of Freeport: - outside the Coalition of Tradesfolk building in WFP
- Coldain Tradeskill Apprentice ( 48, -18, 87 )
- Human Tradeskill Apprentice ( 49, -18, 85 )
- Othmir Tradeskill Apprentice ( 50, -18, 89 )
Upon hiring a tradeskill apprentice from Qeynos Capitol District or The City of Freeport, you'll receive two items that you can place in a house:
1. A tradeskill apprentice contract, which when placed, is the actual apprentice NPC you'll be interacting with:
- Coldain Tradeskill Apprentice Contract
- Othmir Tradeskill Apprentice Contract
- Human Tradeskill Apprentice Contract
2. A mannequin, to customize the appearance of the tradeskill apprentice: Home Uniform Mannequin.
Skyshrine Quested Apprentices[]
Two tradeskill apprentices that can be acquired within Skyshrine: The City of Dracur.
The Research Prisms can be traded or sold on the broker, however they can only be utilized by a crafter that is level 90 or above.
- Apprentice Overknight Deshniak is from the Dracur Prime (Advanced Solo)
- Elder Yelnar (Dracurion Mastercraftsman) is from a raid instance, Skyshrine: Betrayal in the Underdepths, and the quest Etch the Stone.
See the apprentice's individual pages for a list of items they teach you make or for all of the recipes they can research, see the page with Skyshrine Tradeskill Apprentice Recipes.
How to Research[]
You begin by hailing the tradeskill apprentice, and selecting a recipe to begin researching. Once the tradeskill apprentice has begun researching a recipe, you can speed up the process by tutoring him/her, or completing a quest. You can speed up the research in 2 ways each day:
1. The tutoring session is available once every 18 hours. It is performed by hailing the tradeskill apprentice, and offering to show him/her how to do his/her work more efficiently or by right-clicking him/her and choosing "Coach". As the result, the research time will be reduced by 4 hours. The following achievements are rewarded in accordancce with the number of times you have coached your tradeskill apprentice:
- Researching Coach V - coach your tradeskill apprentice 5 times
- Researching Coach X - coach your tradeskill apprentice 10 times
- Researching Coach XXV - coach your tradeskill apprentice 25 times
- Researching Coach L - coach your tradeskill apprentice 50 times
- Researching Coach C - coach your tradeskill apprentice 100 times
- Researching Coach D - coach your tradeskill apprentice 500 times
- Researching Coach M - coach your tradeskill apprentice 1000 times
2. The quest is a daily quest (see details below) that resets at 11 PM US Pacific time, also you cannot do it again in less than 18 hours. It consists of crafting a single item that corresponds with your tradeskill "tier". As the result, the research time will be reduced by 4 hours. Each quest also rewards you with a Pouch of Unused Materials and about 5% Tradeskill XP gain. New rewards were introduced for level 95 crafters as of GU66, including
NOTE: You cannot speed up the research of Elder Yelnar or Overlord Deshniak!

Recipes - All artisans - Level 95[]
With the release of LU66, level 95 reactants and recipes have been made available to the existing Tradeskill Apprentices. Most of the recipes researched contain two versions of each item, a standard version and a "tempered" version. The standard versions require only reactants and harvestable materials, while the "tempered" versions require components that are obtained while adventuring in LU66 zones.
Additional recipes were released with a later live update:
