Lifeskill System

[Captain Barbarossa 1]

Lifeskill System

Besides combat and fairy skills, the game features life skills which allow players to interact with the environment with the use of special tools. They require special skill points to be learned, life skill points.
These points can be obtained by doing Story quests (one point every few quests), or by finishing the "Language Barrier" quest (5 points).
They can be separated as "Primary" life skills and "Secondary" life skills. This guide will focus on primary life skills.
When you get a lifeskill point, it will appears in the 2nd tab from of your skills. Once you get free lifeskill points, you will be able to learn a life skill.

Primary life skills

These skills involve harvesting various materials from the environment, in the form of chopping trees, mining ores, fishing from fishing yards, or salvaging sunken ships.
These materials (alongside others) are used for secondary life skills, in order to create a finished product. Additionally, each primary life skill is linked to a secondary skill. The secondary skill cannot be learned unless the primary is learned and it cannot be leveled up past the primary skill's level.

In general

These skills can be purchased for 1,000G from the Grocer in any town and be learnt as long as the player has at least 1 life skill point. Spending additional life skill points will level the skill up.
Trees, Ores, Fishing Yards and Sunken Ships are all game entities which act as monsters.
Using a life skill on them will start decreasing their HP 1 by 1 and has a chance to yield drops on every hit, until their HP decreases to zero. They do, however, respawn.

Additionally, these entities all have their levels, from 1-10. In order to use life skills on them, the corresponding skill has to be of the same or higher level.
