The development and management teams continue to address the questions and concerns of the community in an ongoing FAQ.
The topics addressed this time around are skill points and magic.
Skill Points
Q. How do I get shield skill points?
The vast majority of shield skill points are awarded when a player successfully blocks an enemy's attacks with a shield, or deals damage to an opponent using a shield-based attack.
| Window for Execution | Shield Action | Attainable Rank |
|---|---|---|
| Enemy attack blocked | Guard | 1 |
| Aegis Boon | 10 | |
| Outmaneuver | 20 | |
| Aegis Boon II | 40 | |
| Deflection | 50 | |
| Damage dealt to enemy | Shield Bash | 14 |
| Shield Bash II | 44 | |
| Always | War Drum | 30 |
The late-November patch will bring about significant reductions in the amount of skill points needed to rank up. These changes will make the processing of attaining rank 20 considerably less time-consuming.
Magic
Q. I accidentally selected the wrong spell. How can I interrupt my cast?
By selecting the spell being cast from the action bar one more time while casting is still ongoing, the spell may be interrupted. Doing so will cause no depletion of a player's stamina gauge, allowing for the immediate execution of another action.
