Skills
Skill points are gained as your characters level up but you can't learn any skills unless you purchase them from Skill Guilds. You only need to purchase the skill set once for everyone to learn the skills. Specialties, which are discussed later in this section, are learned by training certain combinations of skills.
There are multiple ways to gain skill points or increase your skill levels. Below is a chart dictating all the ways to do so.
Activity | How it affects Skill Points |
---|---|
Level Up | Gain skill points based on level |
Master a Talent | Gain 100 Skill Points |
Enlightenment | While turned on increases the amount of SP gained from leveling up |
Skill Books | When read grants a free skill level. Works up to skill level 5 |
Group Battles | Winning this arena battle grants up to 100 Skill Points |
The following chart gives the locations of where you can learn skills by purchasing skill sets from Skill Guilds.
