Perks are special abilities and bonuses for your character if you have Shadowlands and / or Alien Invasion active on your account (Note: players using the free play option do not get access to perks).
They are a totally new set of abilities that you can choose for your character as you progress through Anarchy Online, the higher in level you get, the more options open up to you through this system. There are two sets of Perks to be obtained: Shadowlands expansion set perks and Alien Invasion expansion set perks. For Shadowlands expansion set perks, you don't actually have to do anything other then level in the normal fashion, every ten levels starting at level ten you will be awarded a perk point until you reach level 200, for every shadow level you reach after level 200 you will gain an extra perk point. This means that you get forty perks in all at level 220. Shadowland perks have grey text. For Alien Invasion expansion set perks, you have to kill alien mobs that give Alien XP and with each Alien Level you obtain, you recieve an Alien perk point. Alien perks have green text.

Using Perks
Most of the perks are 'passive' meaning they just confer a stat bonus to you,
you don't actually have to use them, they are there on your character all of the time just like a piece of armor or an implant. |
Putting a Perk Special on your Hot bar
This is a simple case of holding down the relevant mouse button until you see a special icon appear at the end of your cursor. Then you can just drag it to your hot bar like any other icon.
Removing a Perk
Ok, so now you have your perks going, now what happens if you make a mistake or would like to re-train and take a different perk? This is very much possible by using the Remove Perk command, although with one consideration - you can only do this once every 2hrs. Note: this isn't in-game time, it is two hours of real time, the counter keeps ticking down whilst you are off-line or even playing another character.
To remove a perk hit the Remove Perk button in the bottom of the perk display, your cursor will then change to a red R as shown below. Then click on the perk you want to remove.
You will then get a confirm box asking you to confirm. Press ok and you will notice that a timer has appeared in the display in the bottom right and it has started counting down. You will not be able to reset another perk until that timer reaches zero again. Note that although you can't do it for another 2hrs, the perk point for the perk you just untrained becomes available immediately.
