Crafting in terms of Nexus, is the ability of one individual to transform raw material into either other processable materials or an item that they can sell which has increased in value.

It is a general belief that profits are realized once a user gets above the "Grand Master" level.

Novice -> Apprentice -> Accomplished -> Adept -> Talented -> Skilled -> Expert -> Master -> Grand Master -> Champion -> Legendary
Although it is possible to become Accomplished in most crafts, a player must specialize to surpass this level.
