Crafters are quickly immersed in the local Velious culture as soon as they step foot in Great Divide.

In Destiny of Velious, tradeskillers are offered a Flying Mount quest series of their own with unique gryphon appearances to choose from. The conclusion to the new crafter quests is the first tradeskill Heritage Quest, What Dreams May Come , which rewards the fabled Blessed Coldain Prayer Shawl .
