Skills

Your character can learn several Skills to influence his or her effectiveness in the world as a warrior, a craftsman, or otherwise. Upon character creation, a player can select up to four Skills to enter the world with (4 skills, with a 50 point limit per Skill at creation....total of 120 Skill Points on creation).

Upon entering the world, a player can proceed to an appropriate NPC vendor in order to purchase Skill Books, which will allow progression of a Skill to 30 points.

While it is possible to train as many skills as you would like, there is a Skill Cap of 700 Skill Points.

Training a Skill through use is the only way to reach 100 points in the Skill. Most skills will gain through regular use and playtime (such as raising Swordsmanship while attacking a creature with a sword), though some require activation through direct use of the skill (such as Hiding or Animal Taming).

Skill Titles
Upon achieving a specific level of competency in any given Skill, a player can then be recognized by their Skill Title.

Skill Training
Town vendors train skills via speech command:  Train, ex: vendor train. The vendor will reply with what skills they can train and how much it will cost you.

Reply back to the vendor with:  Train , ex: vendor train wrestling. Vendors can only train to level 30, and they will only charge you for how many skill points they train you, up to 300gp.

Secondary skills cannot be trained in this way.

World Skill Gain
Depending on where you are in the world, you will receive a skill gain buff/debuff:


 * Anywhere on a house plot, you will gain skill 50% slower than normal,
 * Gardening is not affected by this
 * In dungeons, you will gain skill 10% faster than normal
 * In cities, you will gain certain skills at 10% faster than normal
 * Due to Ocllo's expanded town size compared to the Legend of Aria's town of Belhaven upon which Ocllo is based, bonus gains may not be applied in some areas of town. Train skills near the docks to ensure the Town Bonus is applied.
