Skills and attributes

In the skills window, you can level up your attributes and skills.
The number at the bottom of the attribute or skill icon shows your current level in that attribute or skill.
Each time your character levels up, you receive:

• 1 attribute point
• 3 skill points

These points can be distributed freely to improve your character.

The number in the circle (for attributes) and square (for skills) shows how many unassigned points you currently have.

Distributing Attribute and Skill Points

To assign attribute or skill points, simply click on the desired element.

• Each click increases the value by one, and the number of available points decreases accordingly.

• You can click multiple times to assign several points at once.

• When you're satisfied with the distribution, click "Confirm" to save the changes.

• If you change your mind, click "Cancel" to revert all changes.

You can also assign skill points by clicking the current skill number, which opens a text field where you can type in the desired value.

The green number next to an attribute or skill indicates the bonus provided by equipped items.
You can disable this display by unchecking the "Show bonus" box.

Attribute points
Attribute points define the core characteristics of your character.
You can choose to shape your character into a muscular swordsman or a charismatic gambler, depending on how you allocate these points.
The four main attributes are: Strength, Mobility, Dexterity, and Charisma.

Raising the level of an attribute automatically increases the five skills associated with it.
Each attribute and its corresponding skills are represented by a specific color, and attributes are always marked with a circular icon.

Skills

There are 20 different skills in the game, and each skill is linked to one of the four main attributes.
When you increase an attribute by 1 level, it automatically boosts all 5 skills associated with that attribute.

To unlock and perform better jobs, you’ll need to increase your skill points.
Some skills also provide extra benefits beyond just job performance.
Notable examples include: Construction, Health, Dodging, Aiming, Shooting, Repairing, Leadership, and Animal instinct.

Attributes and Skills

Strength

Strength represents your muscle power and health.
It’s especially important for performing physically demanding jobs and for enduring harsh environmental conditions like wind and weather.
Strength and its five associated skills are displayed in red.

Construction
Construction is essential for working on buildings and setting up structures.
A high construction skill makes it significantly easier to contribute to your town's development.

Vigor
Vigor represents your character's raw physical strength, essential for tasks that involve pushing, lifting, or striking.
In duels, higher vigor increases the damage dealt with melee weapons.

Toughness
Toughness reflects your resilience and endurance, making it easier to work under harsh weather conditions.
In duels, a high toughness level reduces the damage taken from melee weapons.

Stamina
Stamina boosts your endurance, helping you perform demanding and exhausting jobs more efficiently.

Health points
Health points represent your character’s life force.
Each point added to the Health points skill increases your character’s total health by 10.

Mobility

Higher mobility improves your balance, reflexes, and agility.
Mobility and its related skills are shown in green.

Horseback riding
Horseback riding reflects how comfortable and skilled you are with your horse.
It also increases your travel speed on the map.

Reflex
Reflex measures how quickly you react.
In a duel, higher reflex reduces the damage you take from firearm attacks.

Dodging
Dodging is crucial in duels.
Each level increases your chance to avoid enemy attacks, reducing the likelihood that your opponent will land a hit.

Hiding
Hiding helps you evade both enemies and wild animals.

Swimming
Swimming is essential for survival if you fall into a river or lake.

Dexterity

Dexterity influences your fine motor skills.
It helps with tasks requiring precision or accurate aiming.
Dexterity and its related skills are displayed in blue.

Aiming
Aiming is used exclusively for dueling and fort battles.
Increasing your aiming skill improves your chances of landing a hit.

Shooting
Shooting determines how skilled you are with firearms.
Increasing your shooting skill raises the damage you deal with a firearm.

Setting traps
Trapping is important for setting traps to catch animals and to ambush opponents.

Fine motor skills
Fine motor skills are important for jobs that require precise finger movements and strong concentration.

Repairing
Repairing is used to fix broken items.
It also plays a key role in performing tasks within your town.

Charisma

Charisma reflects the strength of your personality and appearance.
The higher your charisma, the easier it is to influence others.
Charisma and its associated skills are displayed in yellow.

Leadership
Leadership is essential when directing others or coordinating efforts.
It also plays a key role in constructing buildings within your town.

Tactics
Tactics help you devise and execute strategic plans.
In duels, higher tactics reduce the chance of your opponent landing a successful hit.

Trading
Trading improves your negotiation and bargaining skills, helping you get better deals when bartering.
However, town merchants have fixed prices and won't haggle - no matter how charming you are.

Animal instinct
Animal instinct helps you understand and interact with animals more effectively, making it easier to work with or around them.

Appearance
Appearance affects how others perceive you. A higher level in this skill makes you seem more trustworthy or intimidating.
If you challenge another player in a duel, it helps unsettle your opponent, lowering their chances of landing a hit.

Shaman

The Shaman allows you to reset and redistribute your attribute and skill points that have already been allocated.
This gives you the flexibility to adapt your build to new challenges or strategies.

You can only access the Shaman’s help after reaching level 14 and completing the required quest.
To use the Shaman, click on the Indian symbol located in the skills menu.

Redistributing Attributes and Skills

Changing the distribution of your attributes and skills works similarly to assigning them normally.
When you click on an assigned point, it is removed and added to the "unassigned" pool, allowing you to reallocate it as desired.
Once you’re satisfied with the new setup, simply confirm the changes to finalize them.

Each attribute reset has a specific dollar cost, and the price increases with the number of points you change.
However, the cost gradually decreases over the following days - so it may be more economical to reset fewer points at a time rather than all at once.

Important notes:

• You cannot remove attribute points that were granted from skill bonuses (e.g., from equipment or buffs).

• You cannot perform any in-game actions while redistributing your attributes and skills.
