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.
  • 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).
