Professions can be divided into two categories: gathering professions and crafting professions. The maximum level for all professions is currently 49, and it is likely to rise along with the character level maximum to level 50 in a future game update. All professions take the same amount of skill XP to level up. Skill levels are independent of your character level.
There exist Apprentice Trainers for all 14 professions, they give out daily skill quests. The dailies reset at 1pm GMT. Completing skill quests will earn you Artisan Awards, or, when you reach higher levels in skills, you can choose between pouches of Artisan Awards and coins.
