Skills are a player's attributes that can be advanced throughout the game. Skills are trained by repeating actions that give a chance to increase skill level. Skills range from swinging a sword, to chopping trees and to casting magic. Some skills are "interlaced", meaning that they can be used together. For example, when attacking with a sword, a player will level up Swordsmanship as well as Tactics.

All skills start out at 0.0 and can be levelled to a cap of 100.0. This cap can be increased for some skills using a Skill Mastery Scroll to a cap of 120.0.
