Skills improve the hero's characteristics in many different ways. Each character class has different skills. On reaching the next experience level, the player can distribute additional skill points in order to improve these existing skills. The number of skill points gained depends on the level of the hero.  These abilities are very powerful and they should be chosen carefully depending on the character class and the preferred style of playing. Players can choose a maximum of ten skills.

 +
** [[Sacred 2:Feed the Poor|Feed the Poor]] in Thylysium ('''Light Side Campaign''' only).

Any investment to the skills has a linear diminishing returns: in other words, with the same absolute increase of the parameter, percentage increase with each attachment skill point is becoming less and less (excluding Bargaining skill, see [[Sacred 2:Bargaining|corresponding section]]). This fact suggests that the most reasonable to allocate the available skill points between many different skills, as returns from such investments is 15-20% higher than if we invest all points in few skills. The best solution would be not to raise none of the skills above 75 till the moment when all of them reach this mark, and then distribute points for most necessary skills.

Skills improve the hero's characteristics in many different ways. Each character class has different skills. On reaching the next experience level, the player can distribute additional skill points in order to improve these existing skills. The number of skill points gained depends on the level of the hero. These abilities are very powerful and they should be chosen carefully depending on the character class and the preferred style of playing. Players can choose a maximum of ten skills.

  • Players of all classes will receive a new skill choice at the levels: 2, 3, 5, 8, 12, 18, 25, 35, 50 and 65.
  • One additional weapon slot and Combat Art slot are granted at the levels: 3, 5, 10 and 20
  • Between level 1-4 One skill point is gained per level up.
  • Between level 5-11 Two skill points are gained per level up.
  • Between level 12-24 Three skill points are gained per level up.
  • Between level 25-49 Four skill points are gained per level up.
  • Between level 50-200 Five skill points are gained per level up.
  • By leveling up, a player can gain a total of 911 skill points to spend on skills. ((3 * 1) + (7 * 2) + (13 * 3) + (25 * 4) + (151 * 5) = 911)
  • 1 skill point is granted with each skill choice. Thus the total possible number of skill points is 911 + 10 = 921
  • Similarly, a player can gain a total of 401 attribute points to spend on attributes. ((48 * 1) + (100 * 2) + (51 * 3) = 401).
  • With the Community Patch installed, a player has an opportunity to gain skill and attribute points as a reward for certain side quests, thus increasing the maximum numbers of points that can be distributed. Two quests give you this possibility, but the extra points will only be available once you reload the game. Those quests are:


Character Level 1 2 3 5 8 10 12 18 20 25 35 50 65 150 200

Notes

Any investment to the skills has a linear diminishing returns: in other words, with the same absolute increase of the parameter, percentage increase with each attachment skill point is becoming less and less (excluding Bargaining skill, see corresponding section). This fact suggests that the most reasonable to allocate the available skill points between many different skills, as returns from such investments is 15-20% higher than if we invest all points in few skills. The best solution would be not to raise none of the skills above 75 till the moment when all of them reach this mark, and then distribute points for most necessary skills.

There is incredible low efficiency of return with the growth of skill above 150: to invest above 75 has meaning for Lore\Focus of specific school, "Bargaining", "Constitution" (HP are never too much), "Armor Lore" and "Shield Lore" (increases locked item modifiers, see corresponding section), also attention should be paid to the "Toughness" skill, as its "Damage Mitigation" directly added to other same bonuses, and on platinum and niobium "Damage Mitigation" option helps against the incoming damage better than armour (especially important against the bosses and Combat Arts of Champions, having a large amount of damage).

There are several bonuses that can spawn on items, which are unlocked and governed by a certain skill. The value of these bonuses depends on 2 things. The game's difficulty and the current skill value of the governing skill. The value of the bonus will increase with the skill level, up to skill level 250, where they will reach their maximum potential. Any skill points past 250 will not increase the item bonus value further.
