Skill System Update
Based on player feedback, we’ve decided to make some changes to the Skills System, and the way that players level up. Previously, any activity would give the player general experience, and skill points earned can be used to increase any Stat.
We’ve decided to remove general player EXP and split EXP gain between each separate Ability (Endurance, Gathering, Cooking, Social). This way, performing cooking actions will automatically increase your Cooking Stat. Social activities will only increase Social Stat. Harvesting, Fishing, Hunting, and Mining will increase the Gathering Stat. Most physical activities will slightly increase your Endurance Stat. Your player’s level is recalculated based on the 4 Stats combined (minus 10 due to the starting Stats).
Skill Points will increase as normal, 1 per level up. We have raised the Stat cap to 15, and the total Player Level cap to 50. This way, there are 10 extra Skill Points to earn towards your build.
*Note due to the recalculation, your Player level on entering the game will be slightly lower than before, with slightly lower total Skill Points. Stats will remain the same, with a new level cap of 15.
Updated skill panel
Skill Reset
We have also added a button that allows you to Reset your Skill Points, so you can reassign your skills and try different builds. Originally, we planned to add an NPC that does this, however, we do not want to lock players out of trying new builds until this NPC is included in the game. This button will become available at player level 30, and can be used once every 5 days. This will not affect your Stats.
We’ve also received feedback on requiring more storage space for items. We can definitely look into this, and find a suitable solution to implement additional storage soon!
