Roles & companions

Roles & talents

Every lineage has two roles chosen at level 5, and every skill its own talent tree. Honour pays the points, not levels; every node also costs an Ephemeral Dust.

The role is chosen at level 5

Every character carries its lineage's base kit: four attacks (levels 1 to 4) and two supports (5 and 7), to defend and heal from the first minute. On reaching 5 the game tells you: open the book (K), go to Talents and pick one of the two cards. You choose once.

What changes when you choose

The role’s skills unlock in the book, the other role’s leave and your skill points become available again. A Sahira with daggers gets no bow skills, nor the other way round: her base attacks are per weapon too.

A tree per skill

A tree per skill

Every learned skill has its own tree of twelve nodes: a row of three opens its culmination, and the culmination opens the next row. Everything can be unlocked; choosing is deciding which skills to invest in, because the points never cover them all.

What every node does

What every node does

The nodes really improve the skill: damage, healing or shield, cooldown, resonance cost, range, duration, radius, critical chance and successive blow (a second, smaller hit after every strike). Every node’s tooltip shows all the skill’s numbers as “before » after”.

Points are earned with honour

Levels give no talent points. They are earned with honour, and honour is earned by downing white players, those who did not attack first: 10 honour per victory, one point every 50 (5 victories). The book’s honour bar says how much is left for the next point.

Ephemeral Dust

Every node also consumes an Ephemeral Dust, a rare material crafted at the alchemy table (Abyssal Scale ×2, Stable Crystal ×1, Decanted Essence ×3). The recipe drops from the four Marsh bosses and is rewarded by the end of Act VII. Spent dust is not refunded.

Talent Oblivion

Resetting talents takes a Talent Oblivion: Rasayan sells it and it is in the Premium Store, like the skills’ Echo Oblivion. Use it from the bag or with the red button in the Talents window.
