The Secret World

Yeah that's the problem. Tells me pretty much what everything else does...nothing.

Here goes, coming from around 8 hours of experience. There are Ability Points and Skill Points, let's get rid of the Skill Points first.

Skills ("MapleStory Stats"):

In the Skill Point window, you see all of the Weapons (Fist Weapons, Hammers, Shotguns, Dual Pistols, Blood Magic, etc) and Talismans (Major, Minor, Head). Each weapon has two skills that you can allocate Skill Points onto, these attributes are different depending on the weapon. For example, Fist Weapons have the skills of Damage & Healing, Hammers have Survival & Damage, and so on. Talismans only have one skill. Adding onto a skill increases something like a Mastery for the specific Weapon/Talisman, which enables you to use stronger Weapons/Talismans.

The amount of Skill Points you have to spend on a skill depends on the level. For example, level 1 Damage on Fist Weapons costs 1 point, level 2 Damage is 2 points, this is independent from other Weapons/Talismans and skills. So, you could have level 4 Damage on Fist Weapons and you want to increase level 1 Damage on a Hammer, it only costs 1 point, then 2 points, etc. Or have level 4 Damage on Fist Weapons and you want to increase level 1 Healing on Fist Weapons, it only costs 1 point.

Abilities ("MapleStory Skills")

The Ability Wheel is split up into 3 main categories (Magic, Range, Melee). Each category is split into it's 3 weapons (Magic = Blood, Chaos, Element; Range = Shotgun, Assault, Dual Pistols; Melee = Blade, Hammer, Fist Weapon). Each weapon is split into two attributes (Chaos = Theory, Chance; Fist Weapon = Feral[?], Warmth[?], etc). Each attribute has a set of 5 - 7 Abilities...

pineapple it, I'm making a video.
