Specializations

From A Wiki in the Desert
  • Paid for using Talent Points. Talent Points are spent to initially purchase specializations, as well as to advance in level within each specialization.
  • Upon purchase of a specialization, a new title is awarded.
  • Players receive a set of Attribute increases, with the greatest total increase (in a maxed out specialization) going to the primary attribute.
  • Each specialization also awards a Trait at every fourth advance, unique to each specialization track.
  • A maximum of 104 talent points per specialization (a total of 32 advances) can be assigned.

Laborer: Automatic and Free
First Specialization: Free

Respecializing

Respecialization resets all of a player's talent point expenditures, removing all purchased specializations and any acquired attribute advances and traits. No talent points are lost in this process. There is a one-month RL timer on respecialization, during which the player cannot respecialize again. After this timer expires, the player may again respecialize. These do not stack up; you cannot wait two months and respecialize twice in a row immediately.

  • Note on respecializing - beware that specializing can cost more talent points than you expect! Refer to the distribution chart on the Talent Points page to see the cumulative cost of advancement within a specialization.
