Chapter 7
Talents
Once a character achieves tenth level, it will begin earning talent points at
the rate of one per level. Talent points can then be spent at the Talents
window. Every class has three lines of talents, not including a character's
racial talents list.
Talent points can be spent to purchase talents, which can do a variety of
things. Many talents can improve your class’ existing abilities, give you
new abilities, or improve your class skills.
All classes have the same talent options, but no single character can hope
to acquire every single talent. Thus, there are many talent choices open to
your character, and your choices will help differentiate you from other
players playing the same class.
Choosing Talents
Every class has three categories of talents that are organized by your class
abilities. Mages, for instance, rely primarily on their spells, which are
broken up into the arcane, frost, and fire schools. Thus, the mage’s talent
categories are arcane, frost, and fire. Each category can be accessed using
the tabs at the bottom of the Talents window.
Talents are bought on a one-to-one ratio. One talent point spent on a talent
gives you one rank in a talent. You do not accrue talent points until you
have advanced past the first few levels of gameplay.
The talent system is tiered. There are low-level talents you must buy and
master before you can learn high-level talents. However, you can see all
talents in a category, and see the paths leading to all talents. In addition,
mousing over any talent tells you what the talent does and what
requirements you must meet to learn it.
Talents that are grayed out cannot be learned, either because you have no
talent points to spend or because you do not have enough mastery of other
talents. Talents do not have level limits.
