Stance Guide
Last updated on 18 Jul 2007
Stances allow you to focus your character’s skills in ways beneficial to different situations. They can
affect defense, healing, attack power, accuracy, attack style and other skills. Adventuring with multiple
characters of the same class can be advantageous if the stance system is utilized to the highest potential.
 |
Stance Window Here you’ll see the current character’s stances and level in each stance. Unlocked stances are brown, while unavailable stances are grey. This is a basic information window which tells you what is the current level and what to expect if the character advance in this particular stance. You can mouse-over on the individual stance window to learn more about this stance. You can purchase stance exercise book from the master room in each city to unlock the various skills. |
 |
Skill Window This shows the skills available under the currently selected stance. As your stance level increases you will gain new skills and skill points to increase the level of your skills. Use the corresponding arrow to spend skill points. By practising more on this stance, you gain skill points as indicated at the top right hand corner. This tells you how much skill point you have gained to add to the skills available below. Again, if you have not reached the required level, certain skills will be grey off and unavailable to you until you meet the required level. |
