Players need to train Masons to become skilled workers. To train them, assign them to construct blocks. Since blocks have no quality, it is easier for Masons and trains them for complicated work. Masons will work in their own workshop using stone and creating objects like statues, furniture, querns, slabs, and millstones.

It is best to build a Mason’s workshop in an area having an abundance of stone. These workshops are cheap, so players can build the workshop to extract the stone, and later dismantle it.

There is a common trend of using skilled Masons in the workshops, and the non-skilled ones for the construction of structures.

That’s everything you need to know about Masons in the game.
