skills. Adventuring with multiple characters of the same class can be

Effective use of Stance
Many stances are only available
when your character is equipped with specific weapons. Stances available with
the current equipped weapon will be shown for quick reference under the
characters vital information in the base user interface. Changing stance will
automatically switch the available skills, and changing weapons will
automatically switch the available stances shown. Press Alt+S to bring up the

Stance Leveling
Stances level exclusively from your
characters base level and from other stances. EXP cards will not work towards a
stance level, you can only earn stance experience by killing monsters. Each time
you gain a stance level, you will also earn a skill point, which can be spent to
increase the effectiveness of available stance skills. Stance skills are
unlocked by earning higher stance levels. |
