Below is some info on the basic functions of each skill.

Mining​
Mining is the function of mining rocks for precious ore. The Smithing skill and the Mining skill are used in conjunction with each other in use for Synthesis. Without one, you can't have the other. There are various kinds of rocks you can mine, ranging from simple Iron Ore up to the rare and scarce Gem rock.

Archeology
Uncover the history that shaped Amaranthion to its current state. Discover the ancient battles that took place, the kingdoms and empires that formed the boundaries, uncover ancient and lost secrets that have been hidden for generations and uncover the ancient secret of Amaranthion's darkest period in history.

Archeology allows the player to discover hidden pieces of history in which Amaranthion was forged. You will dwell into ancient strongholds, desicrated churches, dangerous castles and legendary landmarks all in search of knowledge. There are journal entries scattered throughout the world in which you must piece together the history of Amaranthion's long journey to its current form.

Using Archeology allows you access to weapons and armor not normally found on monsters or through Synthesizing. You can raid tombs, uncover bones, discover strongholds and even do a quest or two that revolves around Amaranthion's history. The first zone in which you train Archeology is located South of Kardon, in an ancient stronghold.

Woodcutting
Woodcutting is the art of chopping trees for use in a wide range of options: Synthesis, for turning logs into planks for your house or for burning. Many of the weapons have a use for higher quality wood as the wood makes up the handle of the weapon. Planks are used to create different pieces for your home in which you can train skills, display trophies or admire your hard work and dedication. Burning the logs increases your Firemaking skill.

Fishing
Fishing is the basic art of catching fish. The fish can be "cooked" (using Synthesis) to create an edible alternative to potions. Each fish has a different amount of health or mana it heals or can even bestow an effect on you, such as increased drop rates or an increase to your Defense for a short time.
