Skills & Progression

Mining

Press E while holding a pickaxe to mine ore nodes within your interaction radius. Nodes randomize on respawn — rarer ores appear less frequently. Your effective skill and pickaxe quality determine success.

Lumberjacking

Press E while holding an axe to chop trees within your interaction radius. Better wood grows in more dangerous regions. Your effective skill and axe quality determine success.

Fishing

Catch fish from oceans, rivers, and lakes. Deeper and more dangerous waters hold rarer catches with unique uses in cooking and alchemy.

Skinning

Harvest leather and hides from animal and monster corpses. Tougher creatures yield higher-tier leathers for advanced tailoring.

Blacksmith

Smelt ores into ingots and forge weapons, armor, and tools. Every blade, shield, and nail in the world was made by a player blacksmith.

Carpentry

Shape wood into furniture, weapons, shields, and ship hulls. A master carpenter builds the vessels that let players cross oceans and trade between cities.

Shipbuilding is a branch of Carpentry. Skill determines hull quality, speed, and cargo capacity of crafted vessels.

Tailoring

Sew leather and cloth into light armor, bags, and clothing. Tailors keep the economy clothed and expand every player's carry capacity.

Fencing

Mastery of blades and thrusting weapons. Fencing governs attack speed, precision, and parry chances with one-handed swords and rapiers.

Tactics

Combat strategy and positioning. Tactics increases damage, improves hit chance, and unlocks special maneuvers like feints and ripostes.

Swordsmanship

Mastery of heavy blades — greatswords, broadswords, and claymores. Swordsmanship trades speed for raw power, delivering devastating blows that cleave through armor and multiple foes.

Macing

The art of crushing force — maces, warhammers, and flails. Macing excels at breaking bones, shattering shields, and stunning opponents into submission.

Archery

Ranged combat with bows and crossbows. Archery rewards positioning, patience, and precision. A master archer can thin a crowd before the enemy reaches melee range.

Hiding

Vanish from sight while standing still. Hiding is the foundation of every thief's toolkit — successful ambushes start before the target knows you are there.

Stealth

Move silently while hidden. Stealth lets you creep past guards, stalk prey, and position for a backstab. Movement speed while hidden improves with skill.

Stealing

Lift items from other players and NPCs without being detected. Success depends on skill, target awareness, and the weight of the stolen object. Getting caught has consequences.

Discordance

Use jarring music to demoralize and weaken enemies. Discorded creatures deal less damage, move slower, and have reduced defenses. Effective in PvE and PvP.

Provoking

Taunt and enrage targets into attacking each other. In PvE, provoke monsters into fighting their own kind. In PvP, goad enemies into breaking formation.

Peacemaking

Calm aggressive creatures and de-escalate combat. Peacemaking can pause a fight long enough to retreat, reposition, or negotiate. Fails against creatures above your skill threshold.

Animal Taming

Befriend wild creatures and train them as companions. Tamed animals can fight alongside you, carry goods, or guard locations. Higher skill unlocks more dangerous beasts.

Physicianship

Heal wounds, cure poison, and treat disease. Physicians can bind wounds mid-combat and brew potent remedies. High skill means faster heals and less material wasted.
