Character progression

Levels

Levels are gained by collecting experience points, each level requiring more experience. To gain experience, kill enemies and complete quests. Each level will give you one new attribute point to assign.

Skills

Skills improve your character's proficiency at a given task. They are trained automatically as you perform the relevant activity; for example running will improve your Endurance skill. You can check your skills on the character sheet. Skills are unlocked when the character performs the relevant activity for the first time. Each skill has a set of 3 attributes out of the total 6. Improving any of the 3 attributes will increase the maximum level you can reach in the skill.

Your first level in a skill will give you the cosmetic title of Greenhorn. This title changes based on your level.

1 - 4 = Greenhorn

5 - 9 = Beginner

10 - 19 = Skilled

20 - 29 = Advanced

30 - 39 = Professional

40 - 49 = Specialist

50 - 99 = Master

100 = Grandmaster
