There are two types of Skills:

  • Primary Skills: learned and leveled up automatically through gameplay experience.

  • Skill Tree Skills: must be unlocked and leveled up by spending Skill Points.


Primary Skills#

Primary Skills level up as you perform their associated action on Islands .

Each action gives skill experience based on the Island tier and your current Skill level.

When a Skill levels up, your Explorer gains +1 Experience Point.
