Talents

Template:Stub Talents are job-specific special abilities that affect characters' stats in a wide variety of ways, ranging from a simple damage resistance increase, to the ability to craft items that can only be obtained this way.

General Mechanics

Each character has 18 or 19 Talents depending on their job, split between 3 Talent trees representing a Specialization.

Each Job has its own unique set of 3 Specializations. When they have gained enough experience, players earn Talent points, which allow them to pick a Talent in any of the trees.

Each Specialization tree has 4 Tiers, from top to bottom; apart from Tier 1 Talents which are always available, a Talent may only be picked if one Talent from the previous Tier has already been unlocked in that Specialization.

Some Tiers offer a choice between 2 Talents; in that case, picking one will permanently lock the other one (the only exception to this rule is the Engineer's All-Seeing Eye Talent, which unlocks all Talents from the Electrician Specialization).
