Skills ​

The Skill System in Vega Realms defines your character's abilities, progression, and playstyle.

Unlike traditional class-based systems, Vega follows a classless progression model, allowing you to freely develop your character based on the skills you choose to train.

Core Concept ​

  • There a no fixed classes;
  • Your build is defined entirely by your skill choices;
  • You can mix ombat, magic, and crafting freely;
  • Every action contributes to skill progression.

Skill Progression ​

Skills improve through usage-based progression:

  • Perform an action -> gain skill point
  • Higher levels -> slower progression
  • Some skills synergise with others

Skill Cap System ​

To maintain balance, Vega uses a skill cap system:

  • Each character has a maximum of 700.0 skill point limit;
  • You must choose which skills to prioritise;
  • Resetting or adjusting skills may be possible (depending on achieved progression).

Build Flexibility ​

Vega encourages experimentation:

  • Hybrid builds (e.g. Warrior-Mage) are fully viable;
  • No permanent class lock-in;
  • Adapt your character to your playstyle.
