Forgotten Masterwork Professions

Masterwork professions are an extension to the crafting system added in Module 8: Underdark. New level 25 recipes were added to Forgotten Alchemy, Forgotten Artificing, Forgotten Jewelcrafting, Forgotten Leatherworking, Mailsmithing, Platesmithing, Forgotten Tailoring, and Weaponsmithing. After reaching rank 25 in a profession, masterwork recipes can be unlocked by completing quests from The Artisan at your Guild Stronghold (requires Guild Hall Rank 10).

Masterwork Professions
There are 3 ranks of recipes for each profession. To unlock Masterwork Recipes I, you must complete a quest from the Artisan. This quest requires some common resources, and 3 items crafted by that profession. Completing the first quest rewards you with a Masterwork tool (with a 0% quality bonus), and unlocks the Masterwork Recipes I.

The second quest given by the Artisan requires resources crafted using a Masterwook Tool and Resources. Because you only have a common tool, the best chance of a tier 3 result is only 20% (35% with a ). However, all but the final item required can be bought and sold on the Auction Hall. The final item must be crafted yourself. Completing this quest gives an Mastwerwork tool, a unique (bound to character) fashion set, and unlocks Masterwork Recipes II.

After unlocking Masterwork Recipes II, you can buy the Masterwork Recipes III from the Artisan. This requires a Guild Hall Rank 14 and costs 20 Masterwork resources.

Some resources used in Masterwork recipes can be purchased from The Travelling Merchant located to the left of The Generalist Store, next to The Artisan. Other resources can be bought at the Stronghold temporary Structures: Atelier, Bloomery, Goldsmith, Tannery, and Tenterground. The rarest of resources can only be found in Fangbreaker Island, Master Spellplague Caverns, and Master Svardborg.

Other resources can only be obtained from untapped resources in Vellosk, Pirates' Skyhold, Mount Hotenow, Whispering Caverns, Bryn Shander, Lonelywood, and Cold Run. These resources can be obtained by buying Explorer's charts in the Stronghold Marketplace (rank 5 or higher), or the Explorer's Guild (rank 5 or higher). If you have the Treasure Hunter boon with a rank 6 or higher Explorer's Guild you will find 2 resources at each node instead of 1.
