The guide

There are no trainers and no skill points. You get a skill by doing the thing once; you level it by doing the thing against something that can still teach you; and when you have two skills that belong together, you can make a third out of them.

Skills, and how to get them

Every skill below is in the game now. Discovered by is how you first get the skill: the first act that gives it, or the tome that teaches it; trained by is what levels it. For now every act pays its skill's full experience, and a harder target pays a little more; the rules that slow farming are off while the game is in its first play tests.

Evolving a skill

Every skill has three branches, and every ability a path of its own, each counting a particular way of using it: kills with a sword, blows landed on a target already below half health, casts while you yourself are hurt. Usually at 200, 500 and 1,000 of those (a few branches ask for less) the branch is ready, and you choose: evolve it (take the bonus and the tag), hold it (keep it primed for a combination, where a primed branch adds its tag and a little extra power), or sacrifice it. Evolve all three branches to the end and the skill transcends into something with a name of its own. Open the evolutions with V in the game. Each skill's page lists its branches.

Combining skills

New: the full guide to combining: what decides the result, every reaction, the tiers, the ritual, what each way of failing costs, the named recipes, and example results with their numbers.

Press the combine key (J; Esc → Keys & presets shows yours) and pick two to five skills, spells or abilities, each at level 5 or more. The game reads what each one is (a weapon, a school of magic, healing, a guard, shaping, a craft), which elements meet, and how much power they bring, and makes a new skill with its own ability: weapon skills make a weapon strike or shot, magic makes spells, Life and Water make mends, guards make wards, Stone Shaping makes zones and walls, crafts make knacks. Before you commit, the window says what it will be and how unstable the attempt is. Its tier follows the power that went in:

Fizzle	Under 30: not strong enough together yet. Only the ritual's mana is spent.
Simple	30 and up: one clean effect and a twist. Two skills at about level 15.
Compound	120 and up: a third effect, and the reaction on top.
Prestige	200 and up, three or more inputs: control on everyone hit, wards and mends for your allies.
Apex	450 and up, with a Transcended skill among the inputs. You will know.

Combining is a short ritual (3 to 6 seconds, never in a fight) that a blow or a step breaks. A big reach at a low Synthesis can lash back: you are hurt and your skills lose their progress toward the next level, but you keep them. Only Shadow with Life breaks, destroying what went in, and the window asks three times first. Skills you put in become the new one; spells and abilities are kept. Synthesis cannot be combined: it is how you read a combination before you try it. Combined skills level like any other, and can be combined again.

Element reactions

When two elements meet in a combination, this is what they make. What each reaction adds, and which pairs clash, is in the combining guide.

Classes

A class is where you start, not where you end: its skills come first, and its health, mana and stamina grow with its level. Any skill is open to any class; a class learns its own few skills a little faster. Everyone also starts with a Leather Tunic and a Backpack, a Hatchet and a Pickaxe on the tool belt, 3 Minor Health Potions, 5 loaves of Bread and 20 coins.

Races: Human, Elf and Half-Orc, each male or female. They differ only in their starting core stats, and only a little: a Human starts with 10 in each and grows them 5% faster, an Elf is quicker and sharper (more Agility, Intellect and Spirit), a Half-Orc stronger and tougher (more Might and Vitality). The difference matters most at the start and fades as your stats grow.

Warrior

Stands in the front and holds it: the most health and the most carrying. Starts with a Rusty Sword and a Wooden Buckler, and the Swordfighting and Defense skills.

Learns Swordfighting, Axe Fighting, Defense and Block 15% faster.

Health 120 (+15 a level) · Mana 30 (+3) · Stamina 100 (+7) · Carrying +35 oz a level

Mage

Fights from a distance with fire, and mends wounds: the most mana. Starts with a Wooden Staff and a Tome of the Ember Wisp, and the Staff Fighting, Life Magic and Fire Magic skills.

Health 105 (+12 a level) · Mana 60 (+6) · Stamina 100 (+5) · Carrying +21 oz a level

Cleric

The healer who stands in the line: a mace in one hand and a shield in the other, mending the fighters beside it. Starts with a Worn Cudgel, a Wooden Buckler and a Tome of the Spirit Wolf, and the Bludgeoning, Life Magic and Defense skills.

Learns Bludgeoning, Defense and Life Magic 15% faster.

Health 110 (+13 a level) · Mana 70 (+8) · Stamina 100 (+6) · Carrying +28 oz a level

Health 95 (+11 a level) · Mana 40 (+4) · Stamina 100 (+7) · Carrying +21 oz a level

Health 100 (+11 a level) · Mana 75 (+9) · Stamina 100 (+5) · Carrying +21 oz a level

Earthwarden

A spear and the ground itself: stone thrown at a foe, the earth shaken under it, walls raised from the ground. Control rather than burst. Starts with an Old Spear and a Tome of the Stone Sentinel, and the Spear Fighting, Stone Magic and Stone Shaping skills.

Learns Spear Fighting, Stone Shaping and Stone Magic 15% faster.

Health 115 (+13 a level) · Mana 65 (+7) · Stamina 100 (+6) · Carrying +28 oz a level

Gear and crafting

Armour, jewelry and crafting, as the game has them now. The numbers are the game's own.

Armour

Head, body, legs, feet and hands each take a piece, and what you wear is drawn on your character, for everyone near you. There are four sets, each better and heavier than the one before. Armour turns aside a share of every blow, and 42% is the most anyone can have, however they dress. Past Steel, Plate adds mostly health. A Warrior's shield and the Defense skill already reach the 42% in Steel.

Set	A full set turns aside	Health it adds	Weight	Where it comes from
Starting tunic	9%	10	70 oz	everyone starts in one
Leather	23%	31	187 oz	Greta sells the jerkin, cap and boots; a leatherworker makes the whole set at the Tanning Rack
Studded	33%	46	353 oz	Brannoc the smith in Stonebrook (his Copper Helm is its helm); goblins sometimes carry the gloves and boots
Steel	38%	56	565 oz	Brannoc; the Bone Dragon's hoard; root-thralls now and then drop the leg guards, boots and gauntlets
Plate	42%	76	780 oz	Wenna the Pedlar on the Eastern Road (cheaper after the council's armour vote); the Rootherd drops pieces

You cannot put on or take off armour in a fight (the game says "Not in a fight."): wait about 6 seconds after the last blow.

Jewelry and gems

Your character sheet has a neck slot and two ring slots. At an anvil you make a plain copper ring (one copper ingot) or amulet (two), and Brannoc sells them too; then you set a gem into it. A ring adds 5 health and an amulet 8; a gem adds its ward on top. Two rings of a kind both count.

Gem	Wards off	In a ring	In an amulet	Where it turns up
Ruby	Fire	6%	10%	copper veins; the Bone Dragon always carries one
Sapphire	Ice (frost)	6%	10%	copper veins; skeletons sometimes
Emerald	Blood (venoms and rending bites)	6%	10%	copper veins; druids and root-thralls sometimes
Amethyst	Shadow	6%	10%	copper veins; giant rats sometimes
Moonstone	gives mana instead	15 mana	25 mana	thorn-hounds sometimes; the Rootherd always carries one

A copper vein gives a gem now and then: each of the four gems turns up in about 2 harvests in 100. Nobody sells gems. Jewelry is not drawn on your character yet.

Leatherworking: the Tanning Rack

The Tanning Rack stands in Stonebrook's square. Working at it trains Leatherworking.

Make	Needs	Leatherworking
Cured Leather	a wolf pelt, or a Rough Hide (from cows and goats)	1
Cured Leather, twice as much	a wolf pelt and a Silverroot	2
Cured Leather	3 Rat Hides (skinned from giant rats)	1
Cured Leather	2 Thorn-hound Hides (skinned from thorn-hounds, which takes Skinning 5)	5
Leather Cap, Leather Gloves	2 Cured Leather each	1
Leather Boots	2 Cured Leather	2
Leather Leggings	3 Cured Leather	3
Leather Tunic	4 Cured Leather	3
Leather Satchel (10 slots)	4 Cured Leather	4
Leather Jerkin	6 Cured Leather	10

Skinning has levels too: a body's skin asks for a level of Skinning, and the game says which ("You need Skinning 3 to skin a Giant Spider."). The pieces above need your skill to make and, for crafted armour and weapons beyond the starting tier, to wear.

Herbs

Walk up to a plant with three small blossoms and press E. There are 22 patches, across Brightwater Vale, outside Thalorion's west gate and on the Eastern Road. Most grow back within a minute or two; a Glowcap patch takes five.

Brightleaf, in the meadows. Roast a raw meat with a Brightleaf and a log at a campfire for a meal that heals more than plain cooked meat.
Silverroot, by the water. Now and then a Glowcap grows among it. Worked into a wolf pelt at the rack it gives twice the leather.
Glowcap, in the shade. A patch of it needs Herbalism 3 (about ten picks of the others).

How much you can carry

Everything you carry and wear has a weight, in ounces, and so do bags (an empty Backpack is 55 oz and holds 20 items; a Leather Satchel 12 oz and 10). A new character can carry 1,400 oz, and gains more with each level: 35 oz a level as a Warrior, 28 as a Cleric or an Earthwarden, 21 as a Ranger, a Cutthroat or a Hexblade, 14 as a Mage. Mining, Woodcutting and Defense add a little more as they grow. The character sheet shows what you carry against what you can. At the limit you simply cannot pick up more: nothing slows you. Coins weigh nothing, and bags go inside bags. Worn armour counts: a full set of Plate is 780 oz of a new character's 1,400.
