Guides

The Ability System lets you develop your character beyond level 85 by earning Ability Points (AP) to learn passive skills. You can combine defense, physical damage, magic, and utility across the Guardian, Berserker, and Magician trees.

This guide covers unlocking the system, progression, point allocation, resets, and all 57 available skills. Skill names and descriptions are kept in English, exactly as they appear in the client.

1. Overview

System	How it works
Initial requirement	Level 85 with normal EXP fully capped and completion of Fruits of the Mothertree.
Limit	30 Ability levels and 30 AP per class/subclass. Each Ability level grants 1 AP.
Point allocation	Each skill level learned costs 1 AP. The 30 points are shared across all three trees.
Unlocking	The quest is completed once per character. Ability progression and point allocation are separate for the main class and each subclass.
Reset	Consumes 1 Condensed Vital Essence and frees up the points allocated on the active class. Ability level and Ability EXP are preserved.

2. Unlock quest — Fruits of the Mothertree

Reach level 85 and fill your normal EXP bar. Then find Andellia in Elven Village, near the Mother Tree. The quest is available to all races.

1. Talk to Andellia. Open the quest dialogue, select Fruits of the Mothertree, and accept the task. You will receive Andellia’s Letter.
2. Find Thalia at Lake Iris. Head south from Elven Village and look for the small observatory on the eastern shore of the lake.
3. Give the letter to Thalia. Talk to her about the quest. She will take the letter and give you the Mothertree Fruit.
4. Return to Andellia. Deliver the fruit to complete the quest, unlock Ability EXP gains, and receive a Scroll of Resonance Conflict.

This is a dialogue and delivery quest: it does not require defeating monsters or paying a fee. Completing it unlocks progression; you earn AP by gaining Ability EXP.

3. How to earn Ability EXP and points

Ability EXP is the experience used to progress through each Ability level. Completing a level grants 1 AP to allocate. SP and Fame are not used to buy these points.

Source	Gains and conditions
Monsters	With the quest completed and normal level 85 EXP capped, EXP received from monsters is converted into Ability EXP at a 1:1 rate. This method works until the class reaches 30 AP for the first time.
Resonance Conflict (Solo PvP)	Each valid kill grants 1,000,000,000 Ability EXP. Both the killer and the victim must be in the Solo PvP Zone, and the validity and anti-abuse rules must be met.
Battlefield — Scroll of War	The base amount is 1,000,000,000 Ability EXP, multiplied by the Battlefield reward percentage. Distance from the center, visible players, and whether you are in a Party or Command Channel affect the amount.

In the Battlefield, when the area's base chance is 100%, the amounts are 1,000,000,000 solo, 750,000,000 per eligible Party member, or 500,000,000 per eligible Command Channel member. A lower base chance also reduces the gain. Members must be alive, online, close enough to be recognized by the killer, and inside the active Battlefield.

Battlefield Ability EXP is calculated from the reward percentage and does not depend on winning the Fame/Auralyn reward roll. In Resonance, the Ability EXP amount per valid kill is fixed.

PvP rewards check for a maximum difference of 1 level, Clan/Alliance relationships, and anti-abuse safeguards. There is a limit of 5 gains against the same opponent within a 10-minute window, tracked by computer. A kill outside the reward zones does not automatically grant Ability EXP.

What changes at 30 AP

Once a class/subclass reaches 30 AP for the first time, it stops earning Ability EXP from monsters, even if it later loses AP. Recovering Ability EXP and points on that class then requires PvP in zones that grant the reward.

Even at 30 AP, you can build up a reserve of up to 36,000,000,000 Ability EXP through PvP. It absorbs future losses before your Ability level decreases. This reserve does not grant a 31st point.

How to track your progress

Open the Character Status window and use the Ability button to view and allocate your points. At level 85 with normal EXP capped, the bar normally used for Vitality shows Ability EXP progress within the current level; it does not represent the total across all 30 levels.

If normal EXP falls below the cap, recover it so that monster EXP can contribute to Ability EXP again, provided that class has never reached 30 AP before.

4. Point allocation and tree requirements

1. Switch to the class/subclass whose point allocation you want to set up and open Ability.
2. Choose a tree and select skills according to your available AP and their prerequisites.
3. Confirm the allocation in the window to learn the skills.

Each skill level costs 1 AP: learning a skill at level 3 uses 3 AP in total; upgrading from level 1 to level 3 requires 2 more AP. The higher-level effect replaces the previous one. For example, Guardian Shield at level 3 grants +7% Defense, rather than the sum of +2%, +4%, and +7%.

You can invest in more than one tree, regardless of your class. However, unlocking rows only takes into account the points spent in that tree. Having unspent points or points invested in another tree does not unlock its advanced rows.

Tree row	AP already invested in the same tree
1	0
2	5
3	10
4	15
5	20
6	25

Some abilities also require a specific skill at a certain level. These prerequisites are shown in the tables below and must be met along with the row's point requirement. Points spent on a prerequisite also count toward your investment in that tree.

Example: to learn Guardian Resist, you need at least 5 AP invested in Guardian and Guardian Elemental Cover at level 3. The 3 AP spent on Elemental Cover count toward those 5; learning Resist at level 1 costs 1 additional AP.

The final abilities require 25 AP already invested in their own tree, plus 1 AP to learn them. With the 30 AP limit, you must choose between specializing further in one tree or combining several. You cannot learn every skill.

Point allocation is saved separately for the main class and subclasses. Switching classes loads that class's points and skills. During the Olympiad, you cannot spend or reset Ability Points.

5. Resetting points

Condensed Vital Essence is the item required to reallocate your skills.

1. Have 1 Condensed Vital Essence in your inventory.
2. Switch to the class/subclass you want to reset and open the Ability window.
3. Use the reset option and confirm. The item will be consumed.
4. All Ability skills learned on that class will be removed, and the points will become available to allocate again.

The reset covers all three trees of the active class. It preserves your Ability level, Ability EXP, and total AP earned. There is no additional SP cost with this configuration.

You must be level 85 and have points already allocated. You cannot reset during the Olympiad, while running a private store, or during a trade.

How to obtain Condensed Vital Essence

In the Daily Missions interface, complete Nature’s Echo: defeat 30 players in the Solo PvP Zone / Resonance Conflict and claim the reward of 1 Condensed Vital Essence.

This mission is repeatable after claiming the reward, and its progress does not reset at the daily rollover. Obtaining the item does not automatically reset your allocation: it is consumed when you use the reset in the Ability window.

6. Ability EXP loss and recovery

A specific penalty applies to PvP deaths: 900,000,000 Ability EXP per qualifying death when all of the following conditions are met:

• The victim belongs to a level 10 or 11 Clan, and the killer also belongs to a Clan.
• The death is counted as valid PvP by the server's checks.
• Neither player is in the Solo PvP Zone, an event zone, or the Battlefield.
• The victim's Clan is not at war with the killer's Clan.
• The victim does not have an active, valid Eva’s Rune protecting their progress.

The amount is fixed: it equals 90% of the base PvP reward of 1 billion, not 90% of your total Ability EXP. The loss can reduce your Ability level and, consequently, your available AP. If you have more points allocated than the new limit allows, the system automatically lowers skill levels to adjust the allocation.

Example: a character with 30 AP and 1 billion in reserve loses 900 million and remains at 30 AP, with 100 million left in reserve. With 30 AP and no reserve, the character would drop to 29 AP, with 34.1 billion accumulated toward the 35 billion needed to return to 30.

Deaths in Resonance, the Battlefield, or event zones do not apply this Ability EXP penalty. Once that class has reached 30 AP, lost points must be recovered through PvP sources of Ability EXP.

7. All Ability skills

The tables show the original icons, requirements, and English client description for each level. Values represent the total effect at that level. “AP in the tree” means points already invested before learning the ability. The notes clarify conditions and effect types.

8. Frequently asked questions

I completed the quest. Why do I still have no points?

The quest unlocks Ability EXP gains. You receive your first AP after accumulating the 6 billion required for the first level.

I have spare AP, but a skill is still locked.

Check how many points you have already invested in that tree and whether the prerequisite skill is at the correct level. Unspent AP and points spent in another tree do not replace these requirements.

I switched subclasses and my points changed.

Each class/subclass has its own progression and point allocation. Switching back to the previous class restores its saved setup.

I reset my points. Can I progress through monsters again?

A reset only changes point allocation. If that class has ever reached 30 AP, the restriction on monster EXP gains remains. Use PvP zones that grant Ability EXP to recover progress or fill the reserve.

I have 30 AP and the bar still fills up. Will I get more points?

No. The bar now represents the Ability EXP reserve, up to 36 billion, which absorbs losses. The limit remains 30 AP.
