Skill System

Leveling/Tiers
In Spellborn Online, skills can be Tiered up to increase the effects of the skills, as well as unlock mods and new abilities. Skill Tiers are independent of player levels. A skill's Tier is increased via points attained every five levels.

Skill Slots
In general, skills must be equipped in a limited amount of skill slots. Players are given two initial slots, with a third slot granted at level six, a fourth one granted at level twelve, a fifth on level twenty, and an additional slot every ten levels afterwards. Skills may be trained up to Tier X, at which it is considered «Completed» (完全習得コンプリート, Konpurīto). If a skill is removed from its slot, its proficiency is reset to zero, unless a special item is used to store the skill.

Types
There are various types of skills in Spellborn Online, including Support Skills, Combat Skills, Weapon Skills. Certain rare skills are also known as Extra Skills or Unique Skills depending on their rarity. Weapon Skills also unlock the use of special, system-assisted weapon techniques known as Sword Skills. Players have also dubbed some of their techniques as Outside System Skills, though they are not actual skills system-wise.

Mods
Certain skills in Spellborn Online also have Mods (モッド, Moddo?). Mods can either be special bonuses that increase the effectiveness of the skill (e.g. decreasing Sword Skill cooldown time, increasing the range of the player's detection etc.), or various abilities (e.g. the Tracking mod for the Searching skill). It is known that at least for certain skills, for example, the One-Handed Sword, a new mod can be chosen every fifty levels of proficiency.
