Skills and Skill-Caps

Most of your ability to influence the world around you will come in the form of skills. Skills can be raised simply by using them. Certain skills, such as hiding or tracking, require activation. This can be done via the Skills Gump which you will find on your character's papper doll.

Starting Skills.


Upon creating your new character you will find you start will a mysterious scroll in your backpack. Double clicking this scroll will allow you to allocate up to 450.0 skillpoints to your character's current skill levels. Once you have done this, the scroll will be gone forever.

Individual Skillcap
Each skill begins with an individual skillcap of 100.0 points. What these means is no matter how hard you train, your character will never be able to exceed that level of skill. However, players may sacrifice Essence of Character in order to change this. By using the 'Skills' button on the Character Overview, one is able to increase individual skillcaps by factors of five; each increase costing 15,000 Essence of Character.

Overall Skillcap
While your character is free to choose any number of skill combination, she or he may not surpass an overall skillcap of 1,000.0 skillpoints.
