The Skills

Skills improve the hero's characteristics in many different ways. Each character class has different skills. Every hero starts adventuring with 2 requisite 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. As a hero develops they will be able to learn up to 6 additional skills; a new skill is available at each of the following level intervals: 3, 6, 12, 20, 30 and 50. These abilities are very powerful and they should be chosen carefully depending on the character class and the preferred style of playing.

List of Basic Skills

[size=4]Agility[/size]

Agility improves both Defense (lower chance to get hit) and Attack Rating (higher chance to hit) values, making combat much easier.

The skill is best suited for characters that do not use a shield (since it provides almost the same defense bonus as Parrying). Of course, the skill stacks with item bonuses and the Parrying skill.


Skill level 1 5 10 15 20 30 51 75 100 150 200
Attack +%: 7 24 43 58 71 93 125 147 163
Defense +%: 13 44 77 105 129 168 225 266 294


Available for: All classes

[size=4]Armor[/size]

Increased levels of Armor provide greater resistance by enabling more effective use of equipment, and also permit increased movement speed by reducing the encumbrances imposed.

Armor reduces the damage taken when hit by increasing each resistance (physical, magical, fire, poison). Additionally, some equipment carries a minimum armor level to be equipped.

Wearing armor with specific resistances and damages can imbue the wearer with an armor glow which confers additional protection in the form of a resistance bonus. (15% per element)

Movement speed penalties from armor a with higher level than the character level are reduced.

Movement Speed +%: 1 2 3 4 5 7 10 11 12


Available for: Daemon, Dark Elf, Dwarf, Gladiator, Seraphim, Vampiress, Wood Elf

[size=4]Axe Lore[/size]

Axe Lore increases the chance to hit and attack speed of attacks made with axes. Additionally, certain axes carry a minimum Axe Lore requirement in order to be wielded. This skill may be chosen beginning with the skill selection at level 3.


Skill level 1 5 10 15 20 30 51 75 100 150 200

Attack Speed +: 6 19 34 47 57 75 100 118 130


Available for: Dwarf, Daemon, Gladiator, Vampiress

[size=4]Concentration[/size]

Improves the regeneration rate of all combat arts.

To maximize Combat Art regeneration spread points as evenly as possible between Physical Regeneration (attribute), Concentration (skill) and Regeneration Special Move (from items) as these three modifiers multiply.


Affected combat arts:


Concentration only works for the Vampiress while in knight form. Vampirism replaces Concentration when in vampire form.


Skill level 1 5 10 15 20 30 51 75 100 150 200
Regeneration Special Move +%: 12 54 99 138 170 223 300 355 394


Available for: Daemon, Dark Elf, Dwarf, Gladiator, Seraphim, Vampiress, Wood Elf

[size=4]Constitution[/size]

Increases maximum health and improves its regeneration rate. This skill can make a character twice as durable with little investment. Constitution will not improve combat arts regeneration time.


Skill level 1 5 10 15 20 30 51 75 100 150 200
Health +%: 4 22 42 59 73 96 130 154 171
Physical Regeneration +%: 6 27 49 69 85 111 150 177 197


Available for: All classes

[size=4]Disarming[/size]

Gives a chance to disarm opponents in combat with physical attacks. That causes the enemy to drop their weapon, doing less damage. If an enemy have multiple weapons, each of them is disarmed individually.

The chance to disarm will drop at every level up. For best results the skill should be kept at a high level to balance out this drop.

The Battle Mage also can disarm opponents with the Whirlwind spell. This spell can have a way higher chance to disarm that the disarming skill and also can mke the enemies drop their helmet and armor. Bonuses from Disarming and Whirlwind do not stack.

Available for: Battle Mage, Daemon, Dark Elf, Dwarf, Gladiator, Vampiress, Wood Elf

[size=4]Dual Wielding[/size]

Enables the wielding of two one-handed weapons during combat, also increases attack speed and chance to hit.


Skill level 1 5 10 15 20 30 51 75 100 150 200
Attack +%: 12 39 69 94 115 150 200 236 261
Attack Speed +: 6 19 34 47 57 75 100 118 130


Available for: Daemon, Dark Elf, Gladiator, Seraphim

[size=4]Long-handled Weapons[/size]

Long-handled Weapons is both a skill and a classification of weapon type.

The skill enables a character to better utilize weapons of this type by increasing the chance to hit and attack speed.

The weapon types that are considered long-handled are:

  • Polearms
  • Spears
  • Staves, or Staffs (most, but not all - some staves are short and/or one-handed)

The depiction of a weapon will indicate if the skill Long-handled Weapons will benefit its use.


Skill level 1 5 10 15 20 30 51 75 100 150 200
Attack +%: 9 29 52 70 86 112 150 177 196
Attack Speed +: 6 19 34 47 57 75 100 118 130


Available for: Battle Mage, Daemon, Gladiator, Seraphim, Vampiress, Wood Elf

[size=4]Magic Lore[/size]

Magic Lore is a skill available to character classes that are able to perform spells.

The skill increases the damage dealt by all types of magic spells by a percentage (physical, magical, fire, poison).


Skill level 1 5 10 15 20 30 51 75 100 150 200
Spell Damage +%: 11 39 69 94 115 150 199 236 261


Available for: Battle Mage, Daemon, Seraphim, Wood Elf

[size=4]Meditation[/size]

The skill is available to character classes that are able to cast spells. It improves the regeneration rate for all spells.

Contrary to what the game description says Meditation does not increase Mental Regeneration. There are 4 factors when calculating spell regeneration: Mental Regeneration (attribute), Meditation (skill), Regeneration Spells (from items) and a magic skill (e.g. Fire Magic, Heavenly Magic). Meditation and Regeneration Spells add to each other and them multiply with the remaining two factors. (the higher the Regeneration Spells bonus from items the smaller the impact the Meditation skill will have, this makes magic skills like Fire Magic more powerful than Meditation at higher levels). Hybrid characters that rely on combat arts more than spells could skip the Meditation skill.


Skill level 1 5 10 15 20 30 51 75 100 150 200
Mental Regeneration +%: 12 54 99 138 170 223 300 355 394
