Introduced in Game Update 61 (GU61), crafting classes now have their own alternate advancement tab to spend AA on. This AA is earned through the normal course of gameplay by completing crafting quests or adventuring. The AA points used in this tab are from the same pool of AAs used in the adventuring tabs!

There are three rows of abilities and each ability can have up to 5 points spent on it. A maximum of 25 points can be spent in the Tradeskill tab. Each row needs a minimum of 10 points in it to buy into the next level. ^[1]

To unlock the Tradeskill AA tab you must be at least tradeskill level 20.
