Hi, I recently chose the vocation Scholar, and well... it comes with weaponcrafting. Anyway, it's not something I feel like skilling ATM and would be interested in more of a gathering prof, but I haven't been able to find a way to do this.
question being:
Is it possible to drop one profession, with out changing your whole vocation? If yes, how is it done?

Nope. But if you change vocations and they share professions, then you'll retain the skill in that profession.
For example, if you go from Explorer to Armsman, you'll lose your forestry and tailoring skills but retain your prospecting skills since Armsman uses prospecting/weaponsmith/woodworking.

Wow. Regular ol' Joph fan club in here.
Bah, that's a bummer. thanks ^^
I never understood why Weaponsmith went with Scholar in the Historian profession. Farmer is also a dubious connection. It's not like you can grow and harvest 2nd age trinkets. Scholars would be much better served by being Prospectors to get copper salts, umber and sienna for dyes. If they retained weaponsmith, drop farmer for prospector.
Best to create an alt prospector (Explorer, Tinker, Armsman or Armorer) to get ingots and dye components for your Scholar.

I think the lore explaination behind it went something like "Historians are Scholars, and because they know history they can forge swords like the powerful weapons of old. And they farm because they smoke alot."
I'm paraphrasing, of course

I remember something like that too actually. Weaponsmithing because of the studying ancient stuff, farming because they smoke. Or something like that. Plus, you can get some scholar dye material from farming.

wow, are you sure about this??
I have a gm farmer(yoeman) but i would love to switch. Are you sure that I can keep my gm farmer ability if I switch to historian voaction since it includes farming?
i would hate to lose the gm farmer ability, but i do wish i had the historian profession.

You will keep the skill you have in farming. My hunter started as a Woodsman, but I switched to Explorer. When I switched I retained my Forester abilities.
popping my own post
I will warn those that want to join our Vocation... No Tracking for Pots... lol

thanks for the re-assurance.
i need to bail from being a yoeman since my guild has a tailor and a cook.
at least now i can switch to historian, and concentrate on scholar and weapon smith...with out losing out on my gm farmer abilities!
thanks again for the tip and advice.
