Skills
Skill points are points rewarded to players upon leveling up that can be used to upgrade different skills. To benefit from the skill points earned, they must be invested into a skill through Skill Trainers. Skills are not necessarily permanent--they can be untrained by the Untrainer.

Training Cost
All skills have a base cost (e.g. 1000g for combat skills). The formula for the cost to train the n-th point of a skill is:
f(n) = BASE COST * n * Multiplier

Weapon Skills
Weapon skills increase damage, speed, and accuracy of the respective weapon type. Attack speed is capped at 40 skill level.
| Name | Effect Per Level | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Ranged | ?? | Bows and Crossbows are the preferred weapon of choice in the Archer's Guild. Wood Elves have a natural "Auto-fire" ability where they can automatically fire arrows at surrounding enemies while being on the move. This perk is also gained by joining the archers guild and improved by leveling the Ranged skill. |
| Swords | ?? | Swords typically have the word 'sword' in their name, such as "Longsword," "Elven Broadsword," "Two-Handed Sword," etc. Swords are the preferred weapon of the Paladin's Guild. |
| Blunt | ?? | Blunt weapons are the primary weapon choice in the Caveman's Guild. Blunt weapons deal smash damage, which is arguably the strongest of the three melee damage types.
Giants also have incredible natural strength, allowing them to wield the mighty Bonecrusher: the most powerful artifact currently in Wyvern, and a Blunt weapon. |
| Blades | ?? | Examples of Blade weapons are scimitar, cutlass, rapier, falchion, pocket knife, and katanas. Blade weapons are the weapon type of choice in the Ninja's Guild, a guild that specializes in speed, find-weakness, and the ability to backstab opponents to maximize their damage. |
| Axes | ?? | Axes are the preferred weapon of the Axeman's Guild and can do massive amounts of damage. Dwarves and Frost Giants have an innate proficiency with Axes. |
| Unarmed | ?? | Unarmed is one of the most common skills to train in the Monk's Guild, but also has value in the Ninja's Guild and in the Caveman's Guild. Rakshasa and Naga are two races that benefit the most from unarmed. Rakshasa claws get sharper as they level up, and Nagas can shapeshift into powerful forms with strong bite and claw attacks, such as Dragons and Kalidemons. |
| Hurled | ?? | Hurled weapons are sometimes used in the Ninja's Guild, and offer a different combat dynamic. With Hurled trained, you can "throw" weapons at enemies to hit for massive amounts of damage. However, you must go pick up the weapons after they hit the enemy, so positioning is key. |
| Polearms | ?? | Polearms are one of the alternative weapons that can be used in the Axeman's guild. |
| Whips | ?? | There is no Guild currently dedicated to Whips. However, Mages have been known to use the Magic Whip spell which still relies on the Whips skill. |
| Staves | ?? | Staves are one of the alternative weapons often used in the Monk's Guild by races that do not have a natural affinity for unarmed combat, such as Rakshasa and Nagas. |
