Ability Index

Reading the List

A statistic with a number beside it is the least you need to start learning the ability. Forge needs 60 Strength and 70 Constitution. Once you have the first rank, the statistic no longer limits you.

Anyone can learn an ability that a background favours. If you have the background, everything you learn of that ability counts double in your learning pool, whether you learn by using it or from a teacher. The pool also turns into ranks faster. Type pool in the game to see your learning pool.

Starting any ability needs at least 1,100 experience that you have not spent. To raise an ability past rank 36, you must add it to a mastery slot with learn master.

Combat

Survival

Communication

Magic

Only awakened sorcerers can learn these.

Covert

Performing

Trade

On your own, you can reach rank 36 in cooking, forge, weaving, leathercraft, jewelcraft, woodworking, artcraft and chandlery. Each lesson from a member of the Merchants Guild raises your limit in that craft by 2 ranks, up to rank 60. To go past rank 60, you must join the Merchants Guild.

Only someone born with the Spark who has never awakened can learn runesmithing.

The Recipe Index lists what each craft makes.

Metallurgy

Metallurgy is for characters without sorcery. The Sage of Living Metal in the Isleguard's hall teaches all six schools. See Metallurgy.

Backgrounds

Your first background is free. Each one after that costs experience, and each costs more than the one before. A background you buy is permanent. Type purchase background [name] to buy one, and help [name] background to read about it.
