Skills

Skills enable players to gain new abilities, unlock quests and recipes, and increase efficacy and amount of XP given for performing related tasks. Lower-level skills within the same branch of the skill tree are prerequisites for higher-level skills, and some skills from other branches may be required to learn a skill. An achievement may also be a prerequisite to learn a skill, such as one gained from spending an emblem.

After a player's tenth skill is learned, each additional skill learned causes a compounding 5% increase in the length of time to learn another. So, to learn the twentieth skill will take 63% longer than the base time and the fortieth skill will take 432% longer to learn. The Better Learning skills can delay these increases.

Stoot has said, "The base times have not been changed, but, as discussed in some other forum thread a very long time ago, we finally switched to a system where there are "decreasing returns" — the more skills you learn, the longer it will take to learn further ones."
