Skills to play Mortal Online (09/14/2009)

Primary Skills

In the world of Mortal Online, the Primary Skills are the most basic skills in the game and also the foundation for the rest of the skill tree. All characters have these skills from start, but it’s up to you which of them to train. The different Primary Skills “unlock” unique Advanced Skills in the skill tree; for instance you will need to train the Primary Skill “Acrobatics” to a certain value to be able to learn the Advanced Skill “Climbing”. As the Primary Attributes the Primary Skills have a common cap, meaning you can never fully train each and every Primary Skill. It’s up to you to find the perfect balance for your character, as you can train and untrain these skills how many times you like.

Advanced Skills

However, the Advanced Skills are the bulk of the skill tree. They are of a vast number of skills that are connected to each other in a very complex network. Advanced Skills have to be discovered and learned in the game by books, tutoring and/or to a lesser extent by other means like magic or achievements. The prerequisite of a Advanced Skill may be another Advanced Skill, a Primary Skill, any Attribute or any combination thereof. For example, learning the Advanced Skill “Advanced Poison Making” may require you to have the Advanced Skills “Beast Lore” which in turn is based on “Zoology”, as well as “Poison Making” that is based on “Basic Herbalism” that is based on “Botany” and so on.

Without dout, learning these skills don’t need your Mortal Online Gold, but it requires you to be patience and to spend some time on it. The major difference between the two is that Advanced Skills don’t have a common cap. You can learn any number of Advanced Skills you like, but the skills you can learn are restricted by your Attributes and Primary Skills. The restrictions also mean that if you “untrain” a Primary Skill or Attribute that is a prerequisite for one of your Advanced Skills, you won’t be able to use that Advanced Skill any more. However, should the prerequisites once again be met it can be used as before (so you don’t have to train it over again). In short, you can explore any area of the skill tree without the fear of getting stuck, as you can always “leave” and “come back to” your Advanced Skills that are already trained with the help of a little time.
