Six skill trees level up from what you actually do on the island. Your level, shown in chat and on /lb, is the sum of all six.
How it works
- Each tree levels up to 40 from its own XP, and each level gives 1 skill point for that tree.
- Rows unlock at tree levels 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18.
- Every tree has a Mastery node that adds up to +15% XP in that tree.
- Reset tree costs 500 RP and refunds every point in it, Legendary picks and their Legendary points included.
Prestige and Legendary perks
Reach overall level 99 (the Prestige bar in /p) and you can prestige: your trees and ordinary perks reset, and you get a Legendary point. Legendary perks (the gold rows) need tree level 20, the perks above them and a Legendary point for the first rank (further ranks cost skill points), and you keep them through every prestige.
