Character bonus picks (permanent at character creation)

Gathering (+10%) Lifeskill (+5%)

Altar buffs (multiplicative)

Blue ×1.10 · Red ×1.50

Personal altar

Clan altar

Personal and Clan altars are independent — both can be active and their multipliers stack with each other.

Production Doping Elixir

Boosts production speed (and the effective XP rate) while active. Only one supply potion can be active at a time (in-game rule) — this and Master Elixir share a slot, so picking either clears the other. Tier magnitudes pending QA confirmation.

Channel

Channel-tied XP buff applies to gathering only (Woodcutting / Mining / Harvesting / Fishing / Hunting). Showing NA channels.

Channel 1's +10% applies to gathering only — not contributing on the Cooking profession. Per QA TheCDM 2026-05-02: cooking, alchemy, and production professions do not receive the channel buff.
