Notice
More information about the above screen is provided below.Attribute Effects
Most attributes have no cap and will infinitely progress.
To view effects for all attributes type:
attributes all
or
score att all
To view the effects of a single attribute type:
attributes <attribute>
or
score att <attribute>
Viewing s specific attribute: Dexterity
The higher the attribute, the more effective it becomes.
Important!
Some parent attributes, such as Dexterity, modify aspects of your character; in the above example, Melee Attack Rating is increased. The value of the parent attribute is the average of its three sub attributes.Raising Attributes – Level 20+
At level 20, a player may assign experience points to a sub attribute. There are 21 sub attributes to level up.
Gaining Experience
By default, 25% of the gained experience is put towards the experience of attributes.
The player must designate a sub attribute for this experience gain. The selected sub attribute can be changed at an attribute trainer.
Important!
By default, Hardiness is selected.
For example, an Indago Mage may wish to increase his or her intelligence. He or she must select a sub attribute that falls under Intelligence. A Dwarven Fighter, on the other hand, may wish to increase Strength’s sub attributes to increase combat damage.
Changing the selected sub attribute can be done at any time with no penalty.
The syntax to do is:
train setAttribute <attribute>
Example: train setAttribute brawn
Setting an attribute to receive experience
Notice
When an attribute is ready to be trained, all future gained experience is diverted to your character so nothing is lost! The config option AUTO_SWITCH_EXP_ATTRIBUTE may be turned on to automatically assign the next ready attribute.Changing Experience Gain
By visiting an attribute trainer, the amount of experience put towards attributes can be changed. There is a total of 125% assigned percentage points between character level experience and attribute experience. The cap for each is 100%.
For example,
Character Level: 100%
Attributes: 25%
or
Character Level: 50%
Attributes: 75%
Important!
Remember to choose which attribute you wish to funnel experience into!
The syntax to do is:
train setAttributeExp <character exp percent> <attribute exp percent>
Example: train setAttributeExp 0 100
Setting experience for attributes and character level.
Important!
The trainer will let you know when you have room to allocate more experience!Notice
When an attribute is ready to be trained, all future gained experience is diverted to your character so nothing is lost!Caps
There are caps within this progression system, and they are based on the character’s race. Most races have the same cap of 100. A parent attribute can only be increased its racial cap. This cap is also where the player begins experiencing diminishing returns.
Important!
Parent attributes may exceed the racial cap with help from items, buffs, or abilities. You will receive bonuses from parent attributes exceeding the racial cap.
Training
Once sub attribute hits 100%, it can be trained at one of the seven attribute trainers within the world, but you’ll have to find them first! Get out there and explore!
The cost of training your sub attributes increases as the parent attribute gets closer to reaching its cap.
The syntax train your sub attribute is:
train attribute <attribute>
Example: train attribute brawn
Training an attribute
Training Locations
The trainers for attributes can be found in the Training Hall in Tralisia.
Seepage System
Due to the amount of sub attributes that must be trained, the Seepage System allows for bonus experience to be gained for the sub attributes.
Whenever the selected sub attribute receives experience, an extra amount of the gained sub attribute experience (10%) is placed into the Seepage Pool.
Viewing current Mind State and Seepage Pool
This pool will drain every 6 minutes and distribute experience to other sub attributes. For example, while your selected sub attribute may be ABSTRACTION, you may in fact receive experience towards BRAWN when the Seepage Pool drains!
Receiving bonus experience from the Mind State, “Matter Over Mind”
Important!
This is an automatic system and requires no intervention by the player to benefit from!!Mind State
The Mind State dictates how the experience from the Seepage Pool will be distributed amongst allsub attributes. The type of Mind State received is based on the sub attributes that are generally used before the Seepage Pool ticks and drains. Whenever a sub attribute is checked for use, it has a small chance in generating a Mind State for said attribute.
For example, using a strength attribute has a chance to generate the Strength Mind State: Focused Mind.
Each Mind State has different effects but they are generally similar with a few exceptions. If no Mind State is generated, by the time the seepage pool ticks, a random one will be selected.
Important!
Mind States are automatically generated based on what attributes you’re using. You can have only a single active at a time.
| Mind State | Attribute | Description |
| Focused Mind | Strength | Applies 33% of the seepage experience to the randomly selected sub attribute. |
| Matter Over Mind | Constitution | Applies 25% of the seepage experience to a random constitution sub attribute and then 75% to a randomly selected sub attribute. |
| Nimble Pondering | Dexterity | Applies 33% of the seepage experience to 2 additional randomly selected sub attributes and a third randomly selected sub attribute. |
| Reflexive Thoughts | Agility | Applies 33% of the seepage experience to the 3 sub attributes in the randomly selected attribute, evenly. |
| Cerebrum Processing | Intelligence | Applies 54% of the seepage experience to all sub attributes evenly. |
| Dedicated Visions | Wisdom | Completely drains the seepage pool on a randomly selected sub attribute. |
| Charismatic Wonders | Charisma | Applies 10% to 100% of the seepage experience to 2 randomly selected sub attributes evenly. |
| Lucky Discovery | Luck | Applies 25% additional experience to a randomly selected sub attribute. Drains 33% of the seepage pool. |
| Muddled Thoughts | DEFAULT | Applies 20% of the seepage experience to 1 randomly selected sub attribute. |
