Professions

Professions are the general areas of expertise players can focus on within Eco. Inside a Profession, the player can choose among several Specialties. Professions help players coordinate their efforts by offering a basic structure for the various roles in the game. Skill Points are not needed to unlock professions. They are all unlocked from the start and there is no penalty for selecting specialties of different professions.

Specialties

Every specialty is sorted in Tiers (0-4). Specialties are categories of skills in Eco that are discovered using research. After Tier 0 all Specialties are depended of other skills. Players may learn specialties - and gain access to the specialty's skill tree - by spending Skill Points. With each specialty learned, the cost of learning the next specialty increases exponentially. Skill costs increase from 0, 0, 5, 15, 50, 100, 300, 500 at the default multiplayer rate. In the game skills window, specialties are categorized by professions.

You can gain Skill points after a certain amount of real time. You can get them faster trough a balanced nutrition, a good housing value or culture. For beginners it is wise to read Getting Started. For a start of a new playthrough start with a Tier 0 specialty unless you can be supplied by other players.
