Talents

Talents are your character's passive specialisation. If stats are "how strong you are", talents are "at what exactly".

How it works

Talents are grouped into several branches. As you progress you earn points and spend them on the nodes you want, unlocking permanent bonuses — to combat, gathering, crafting, trading and more. These aren't temporary buffs: an invested talent always works.

Strategy

Don't spread points thin. Deliberate specialisation for your style works better: a fighter boosts damage and survivability, a gatherer boosts resource yield, a trader boosts market options. Decide who you want to be first, then lay out talents.

Tip

Re-check your talents when you change occupation: what's perfect for missions isn't always best for the market or the arena. Replanning a branch is a normal part of growth.
