Prestige Abilities

Prestige Abilities are extra abilities your character can learn in addition to the basic weapon abilities.

Each ability has three tiers, marked with roman numerals, for example "Backstab I", "Backstab II" and "Backstab III", with the higher levels providing more power to the ability in some way.

These abilities are learned via green prestige skill books that drop in the world that will simply be titled the name of the prestige ability. Each prestige ability requires the character know a certain skill to an adequate level, and the book will show the requirement to learn the ability. It also costs a certain amount of ability points (visible on your character sheet by hitting "C"), specifically 1 for level I, 10 for level II, and 50 for level III. If your character meets all the criteria, you can visit the appropriate trainer in town to consume the book and add the ability to your hotbar.

Prestige abilities are permanent unless overridden by a different ability.

A character may learn three abilities of any level (for example, three level 1 abilities), but may only have three learned at once, and can only learn one version of a single ability (attempting to learn Snipe II while already having Snipe I will result in the second level version overwriting the first level version).

Attempting to learn a 4th prestige ability will prompt the player to pick one of the currently existing known ones to replace with the new ability.

Requirements

To train a prestige ability you need fulfill three requirements.

1. You must first obtain a prestige skill book. Each individual ability has a prestige book meaning you can mix and match prestige abilities from all of the classes.
2. You need the requisite amount of ability points depending on the tier of prestige ability you are training. Ability points are obtained by gaining prestige experience by killing monsters. Gaining 1000 prestige experience gives you 1 Ability Point
   • Level 1: 3 Point
   • Level 2: 10 Points
   • Level 3: 25 Points
3. You must have the requisite skill levels on your character. This requirement varies by prestige ability and level.

Levels

Each prestige ability has 3 levels.

The exact skill requirements differ for each level. Some abilities require multiple skills to be at the same skill level. Some abilities only require a single skill out of a set of skills.
