'''Skills''' give players special or improved abilities. Some require that you learn other skills first, and a few are available only to certain character classes. Skills are bought with [[XP]].
  
−
The formula for a skill's XP cost is 100 + 25 * (your current level).
+
Certain skills, like ''haunting scream'' and ''basic tracking'', unlock actions which consume [[AP]]. Other skills, like ''trekking'' and ''close quarter combat'', are passive and do not need to be activated after being purchased for the player to benefit from them. While most skills in a tree have effects that stack on one another, ''haunting scream'' and ''shocking shriek'' remain individual skills (but ''banshee wail'' will replace ''shocking shriek'').

Learning an initial skill costs 100 XP. After that, each learned skill costs 25 XP more than the previous one, until you reach level 30. Hence the formula for a skill's XP cost is ''100 + 25 * (your level)''. (Your character's level, which you can see in your profile, is the number of skills you have learned.) To go from level 30 to 31 costs 1000 XP, and each level above that requires an additional 200 XP. So the above formula is modified to read ''1000 + 200 * ((your level) - 30)''.

Skill Overview

Skills give players special or improved abilities. Some require that you learn other skills first, and a few are available only to certain character classes. Skills are bought with XP.

Certain skills, like haunting scream and basic tracking, unlock actions which consume AP. Other skills, like trekking and close quarter combat, are passive and do not need to be activated after being purchased for the player to benefit from them. While most skills in a tree have effects that stack on one another, haunting scream and shocking shriek remain individual skills (but banshee wail will replace shocking shriek).

Entire Skill Tree

  • Basic language - Understand the smaller words of foreign languages.
    • Advanced language - Better understanding of foreign languages.
      • Expert language - Full comprehension of foreign languages.
        • Foreign Writing - Not only can you understand foreign languages, you can also write it well enough to be understood.
        • Foreign Speech - Not only can you understand foreign languages, you can also speak it well enough to be understood.
          • Pirate Speech - You can talk to pirates in their own unique dialect (This skill has a fixed cost of 100 XP)
  • Exploration - Helps you remember some of the places you've been. (Very popular skill)
    • Cartography - Stops you forgetting anywhere you've visited.
    • Trekking - Faster movement through the jungle. (Very popular skill)
    • Swimming - Faster movement through water. (Very popular skill)
    • Survival - Firecraft - Knowledge of how to create, control and use fires.
  • Haggling - Be able to obtain slightly better prices from some traders.
  • Digging - Be able to dig deeper holes. Also makes digging regular holes easier.
  • Agriculture - Gives you a better chance of getting things to grow.
  • Faith - Belief in the spirits of the ancestors increase charm effects. Also allows use of portals to Sacred Space. (This skill requires completing specific tasks to unlock)

Cost of Skills

Learning an initial skill costs 100 XP. After that, each learned skill costs 25 XP more than the previous one, until you reach level 30. Hence the formula for a skill's XP cost is 100 + 25 * (your level). (Your character's level, which you can see in your profile, is the number of skills you have learned.) To go from level 30 to 31 costs 1000 XP, and each level above that requires an additional 200 XP. So the above formula is modified to read 1000 + 200 * ((your level) - 30).

Below is a Chart, which shows the overall number of XP points to pay for a complete skill tree.
