Pax Dei: Best Early Game Professions In The Game

Despite the game still being in early access, Pax Dei has managed to amass a very respectable player base. A sandbox MMO, the game is loads of fun, especially when played with friends. That said, it can be a challenging game to get into for new players.

The Professions system in Pax Dei is one of the most important mechanics to be aware of. Professions in this game are skills; you can focus on mastering these skills to improve them and make them more effective. We will be looking at the best early-game Professions you need to focus on in Pax Dei. A good early game start should help set you up for success in your new world.

Best Early Game Professions In The Game

Pax Dei currently has 16 different Professions that you can master by focusing on them. Eventually, you’ll be able to master each Profession, as playing enough with them will help you level them up. For the early game though, you should focus on Professions that are most relevant at the start.

The best Professions in the early game are:

• Woodcutting
• Mining
• Carpentry
• Blacksmithing
• Weapon Smithing

Other Professions are also going to be important early, but the ones listed are the most important as they will help you get a good start. Multiplayer is a big part of Pax Dei, so if you are playing with other players online, you can have different players focus on different professions.

Woodcutting

Wood is going to be the most valuable resource that you can get early on in Pax Dei. It has a ton of different uses, so it’s essential for you to always have it on hand. Mastering the Woodcutter Profession will vastly increase the amount of wood you can get in this game.

Wood can also be used to make charcoal, another extremely valuable resource. You will need plenty of charcoal in this game in order to cook items and use furnaces. Alongside wood being extremely valuable in the early game, it is going to be useful all throughout your playthrough.

Mining

There are plenty of really useful resources in Pax Dei that can be acquired only through mining. You will primarily use mining in the early game to get metal resources like iron and tin.

Mining is one of the first processes in making advances in the quality of your structures and items. Increasing your proficiency in a Profession like mining will help you speed up this process. Resources like iron are extremely important in this game, and focusing on Mining will help you get a lot more.

Carpentry

When compared to the first 2 professions on our list, Carpentry isn’t as important early on. It is a useful Profession, but most of what you can do with it is more useful later on. That said, Carpentry has one specific use early on that is extremely important, and that is building chests.

Collecting and gathering resources is a big part of Pax Dei’s gameplay. To store all the resources you collect, you will need chests for storage, and Carpentry allows you to build a ton of Chests. That along with all its other uses makes Carpentry a very good early-game Profession to master.

Blacksmithing

Blacksmithing in Pax Dei allows you to craft valuable structures that will help you do a lot of different things in the game. For example, increasing your Blacksmithing tier will allow you to make a Weaponsmith Workbench, allowing you to make and upgrade your weapons.

The higher your Blacksmithing level is, the more things you can make.

Weapon Smithing

Lastly, you will also want to work towards mastering Weapon Smithing in the early game. Weapon Smithing will specifically allow you to make weapons that you can use in combat against enemies and other players.

Having weapons gives you both defensive and offensive benefits. They will help you explore more and at the same time also help you defend your settlement from enemies.

A decent level of mastery of these Professions will help you get through the early game and help you progress in Pax Dei. There is plenty for you to explore and discover in the world of Pax Dei.
