These are the new skills:
You gain xp for the skill as you use it and when you level up you will unlock more things to craft, weapons to equip, and resource nodes to gather!

These unlock the ability to wear and craft better armor, increase your total HP, and more!
When you complete new dungeons you are awarded with Elder Seeds. You use them to unlock Core Unlocks!

Now you must complete a quick challenge to craft new items.
Crafting Stations can be upgraded. When you upgrade the crafting station you can craft better items but the crafting challenge will get trickier to complete!
