Skills, Stats & Mana
Ordinary Survival activities now earn skill XP. Levelling improves permanent stats and passive perks, while eight skills unlock active abilities powered by mana.
How skills work
- Each active skill begins at level 0 and can reach level 100.
- Perform the matching activity in the main world to gain XP.
- Level rewards include permanent stats, passive abilities and—in eight skills—a mana ability.
- Use /skills (also /sk) to inspect levels, XP sources, abilities and upcoming rewards.

Combat stats
Strength raises attack damage, Toughness reduces incoming damage, and Critical Chance/Critical Damage improve critical hits.
Survival stats
Health increases maximum HP, Regeneration improves health and mana recovery, and Speed improves movement.
Gathering stats
Luck improves the chance of extra drops from farming, foraging, mining, fishing and excavation.
Wisdom
Wisdom gives more maximum mana, bonus experience gain and an anvil-cost discount.
Understanding mana
Mana is the blue resource shown on the right side of your action bar. Everyone starts with a base maximum of 20 mana. It regenerates over time; higher Regeneration improves recovery and Wisdom adds 2 maximum mana per Wisdom level.
Mana abilities unlock at level 6 in their matching skill and improve every six skill levels. Activating one consumes mana and most abilities also have a cooldown. Open the skill in /skills to see your current duration, cost, cooldown and next upgrade.
