Proficiencies deal with finding, harvesting, refining, and crafting items.
Practice sessions are used to learn and improve these skills. Higher ranks will
produce higher quality materials and finished products when harvesting, refining,
or crafting. The quality of your refining equipment (i.e. forge, loom, tanning
pit, etc.) also affects the quality of finished products.
To learn these skills, head to Wasat's Workshop in North Midgaard (4n w 2n from Temple)
