*'''Path of the Artisan:''' This Path involves creating art.
*'''Path of Shaping:''' This Path, related to both the Paths of the Seer and the Artisan, trains [[Bonesinger]]s, who are skilled at manipulating the psychically-reactive [[wraithbone]] that is the Eldar's primary construction material.
*'''Path of Service:''' This Path focuses on serving others; Eldar on this Path do most of the basic services that a Craftworld requires.
**'''Path of the Botanist:''' This Path is a specialized variant of the Path of Service that focuses on tending the plants of the Craftworld.
*'''Path of the Seer:''' This Path involves developing the natural psychic abilities of the Eldar race. Though the [[Farseer]]s, [[Spiritseer]]s, and [[Warlock]]s of this Path are the leaders of the Eldar race, such powers come at a cost...
*'''Path of the Warrior:''' On this Path, an Eldar takes up one of the Aspects of warfare; these [[Aspect Warrior]]s make up the bulk of most Craftworlds' fighting forces.
**'''Path of Command:''' Those Eldar with a martial bent that find it difficult to remain in one Aspect for long may take up the Path of Command, becoming [[Autarch]]s that are skilled at blending the abilities of their fellows on the field of battle.
*'''Path of the Mariner:''' Eldar on this Path make up the crewmen of the Craftworld's ships.
*'''Path of the Healer:''' This Path revolves around healing others.
*'''Path of the Scholar:''' On this Path, an Eldar attempts to learn as much as possible about one, specific topic, becoming an expert on it before long.
*'''Path of Awakening:''' Eldar on this Path learn to notice details that even other Eldar would miss. It is the opposite of the Path of Dreaming.
*'''Path of Dreaming:''' Eldar on this Path learn to control their dreams. It is the opposite of the Path of Awakening.
*'''Outcast:''' This is not actually a Path per se, but rather a rejection of the Path system as a whole. Outcasts often leave their Craftworlds and become [[Eldar Ranger|Rangers]], although, after their wanderlust is expended, most return.
