I started the quick guide about a month ago hoping to help others. It was far from perfect and I was lacking lots of knowledge. I played, read, discussed a lot in that 30 days and decided it is time for an update. It still is far from perfect but maybe a step closer. I am planning to polish it more and head for specific guides like skills, armors and so on. Till then hope it will help some of you.

As always please let me know what you think, what is wrong or missing and what you want to see next.Thanks & Happy Hunting!

1-Character (top left)

1.1-Experience

• Max level is 80.

• Prestige levels are gained after 80, which don't give any benefits.

• Main quests, side quests (! on map), bounties (4/day) and hunting are the sources for XP.

• Main quests gives the best XP taking you half way to the next milestone.

• For the other half, you need to perform the other tasks for a few days.

1.2-Vitality

• Vitality is used for life skills and tavern missions.

• Each day you gain 500; 200 (at 6:00) + 300 (4 bounties)

• You can restore more with vigor potions.

• Art of Hunting and Tavern Missions are top priority

• Work has the worst ratio and should be avoided completely.

1.3-Corruption

• Corruption increases as you fight behemoths.

• It prevents you to do more when it reaches 90-100 range.

• You can either meditate or just wait to reduce it.

• It is easy to miss that at first but each skill counts.

1.5-Skills

• Equipment, titles, horses and wild souls give skill points.

• Each skill has milestones that activates a new effect.

• Effects do not scale with skill points.

• A negative effect can be cancelled easily by putting a few points there.

• Having an in-between skill is a waste of points.

• For example if a skill has 2 milestones at -10 and +10. -10 or lower gets the negative effect, -9 to +9 gets nothing, +10 or higher gets the positive effect.

1.6- Stats

• Attack power shows your physical damage.

• Negative crits happen.

• Stun/Paralyze is not a damage stat.
