Bureaucrat

Skills

Abilities

Mod	Skill name	Comments
Number	Body Development	Everybody should raise this, more HP never hurt anybody. A Bureaucrat won't be in the thick of things usually though, so Body Devlopment doesn't necessarily have to be maxed out.
Number	Nano Pool	Keep this high if you can, more Nano will provide a buffer for when your Calms go awry and you find you need to cast multiple times to get a mob or mobs under control.

IP mod	Nano Initiative	Max this out, an extra second or two shaved off that Calm can mean the difference between life and being sent to Reclaim. This will also help if you find you need to quickly recharm a pet or recast your bot.

IP Modifier	Run Speed	There is much travelling to be done, especially if you team with people who decided to max this. Later, low outdoor travel speed will be alleviated by the use of Yalmahas and token boards will speed you up a bit.

IP mod	Tutoring	Raise this to 1000 if you are a tradeskiller, basically this skill is solely for the use of Tutoring Devices. 1000 skill allows you the use of QL 200 Tutoring Devices. There is no bonus for having more than the required skill.

Navigation

Mod	Skill name	Comments
IP Modifier	Vehicle Air	If you decide to raise any Vehicle skill, this one will be it. Trickle-down, Implants, and Experienced Aviator Sunglasses will help you get a Yalmaha on sooner if you don't want to spend a single IP in this.
IP Mod	Vehicle Ground	Ground Vehicles add a small boost to RunSpeed to help you get places. Not recommended you raise this as Air Vehicles are much better and faster and you will probably get a Yalmaha later on anyway.
IP Mod	Vehicle Water	Do not raise this. There isn't much water around for this to be very useful. Air Vehicles will let you travel over water without difficulty anyway.
IP Mod	Map Navigation	This skill can not be reset.
