Skills are a core part of Soul's Remnant, allowing the player to perform special feats in combat or other environments that both reflect and dictate their attribute distribution and equipment loadout. There's more to personal expression than just equipment after all.

It's also about how you live and how you fight!

Skill Tables

Grapple may fall into the Life category, but it is very much useful in combat! The Grapple skill can allow you to hang from walls, ceilings, and platforms for approximately 5 seconds before you are detached. While attached you can swing side-to-side, and change your vertical position with the Up and Down keys. From early-game and even into late-game, Grapple can be an invaluable tool in the right hands!

Combat Skill Leveling

Before talking about anything else, it's important that we make something very clear here about Combat Skills:

Skill level is one of the largest ways to increase your DPS, and the higher the level the higher the difference. Try not to leave skills at +100% Skill EXP!

To accommodate for this, Soul's Remnant has a system in place that makes level skills easier. 
If you have a Combat Skill that is a higher level than the one you are currently gaining Skill EXP for, then that amount of Skill EXP is increased!

Yes, you can comfortably gain Skill EXP even after reaching enough to level the skill up. As mentioned above however, skill level is a big factor in how damage is calculated.

A rare material used to level every combat skill past a certain point are the Dungeon Crystals, which are best obtained through Dungeons or quests. Mostly Dungeons, so don't be shy about trying to use up your Dungeon Passes with a party!

Life Skill Leveling

Skill level is also very important for Life Skills. In order to gather certain materials from the world, you will need to have the related Gathering Skill at a high enough level. And certain crafting recipes will only be unlocked after reaching the required Crafting Skill level as well.

Luckily, it's a lot more straightforward to level a Life Skill than it is to level a Combat Skills. Life Skills will typically level up automatically once you get enough Skill EXP for them, making it easy to keep gathering or crafting without having to worry about missing out on any benefits. Life Skills also don't have any material requirements to level them!

Skill Points

Sometimes referred to as "Active Points", these

Combat skills can cost anywhere from 1 to 3 skill points to first learn, and from that point on each additional level costs 1 skill point. Life skills cost zero skill points to first learn, and also cost zero skill points to level up all the way to max level (10).

Skills gain Skill EXP by using them. For example, you can level damaging skills only by last hitting enemies with said skill, healing skills by healing yourself/allies, or buffing skills by hitting enemies with any physical skill while the buff is in use. Skills can also gain EXP through the use of Skill Books, which are mainly found in dungeons. Some skills can only gain EXP with these books. Once a skill has enough EXP to level up, you must go into the Crafting Menu (M) and level upgrade it before the skill can earn any more Skill EXP.

So search for chests, fight monsters, trade with players, and clear Dungeons to get the skills you want and deserve!
