Knowledge

Knowledge is the concept of getting better in a certain field to unlock recipes instead of using only levels to unlock recipes. Knowledge levels up as you perform certain tasks specific to that field and requires a certain minimum level in order for you to be able to gain knowledge in that field. Knowledge is split into 3 categories: Adventuring, Magic, and Architecture.

Knowledge Types:

*Adventuring*

*Magic*

*Architecture*

There are plans to have more than 10 types of skills.

You have a [currently unknown] number of skill and attribute points. These can be used in different ways. Specialization¹⁾ will be important since it will take a considerable time commitment to learn every skill in the game²⁾ ³⁾.

HJ: Progression isn’t infinite - however, players can actually learn every skill in the game once they reach the level cap. It’ll take a really dedicated player to reach that point, but it’s possible!

To Theion - Last Tuesday at 1:54 AM players can actually learn every skill in the game once they reach the level cap. It’ll take a really dedicated player to reach that point, but it’s possible!

The game will attempt to strike a healthy balance between horizontal and vertical progression as a way of diversifying player's skills over time rather than increasing a players power exponentially as they level.⁴⁾

We're aiming for a good mix of both; it feels bad if a max-level player has to go completely toe-to-toe with a brand new player, but we want to emphasize horizontal progression since you're going to end up basically creating your own class as you go along.

There are no plans for respecs at this time⁵⁾

Examples of planned skill trees⁶⁾:

Building
Toolmaking
Exploration
Offensive magic

As for skills, players will invest skill points into their choice of skill trees as they level up. These skill trees will cover various important survival skills such as building, toolmaking, exploration, offensive magic, and more. Players can choose to either specialize by investing heavily into individual skill trees to unlock the highest-tier skills, or they can become a jack of all trades (and master of none!) if they prefer to play solo.
