Skill System

The skill system is the most basic way to improve your character's abilities. This is done by spending Improvement Points (IP) that is received every level to purchase higher levels of skills and attributes. All professions have the same skill sets but your profession effects how much certain skills cost to you.

Improvement Points and Costs

Characters receive IP for every level based on their title level (see the table below), which can be used to raise skills.

Title Level	Starting Level	IP per Level
1	0	5,000
2	15	10,000
3	50	20,000
4	100	40,000
5	150	80,000
6	190	150,000
7	205	400,000

Reseting Skills

Players only get one full reset of any and all skills. But they get one single-skill reset every new Title level. Every single piece of equipment, even Social Clothes, must be removed.
