Skill Points Assignment Guide

In Argentum Online, classes must specialize in certain Skills that will make them stand out from the rest. To achieve this, some basic concepts should be taken into account.

Basic Notions

First, it is important to know that each skill can be improved up to a maximum of 100 points. To view the list of available skills in the game, click the lightning icon to the right of your character's name.

There are two ways to increase a skill: through natural skill points or by using assignable skill points.

  • Natural points allow you to specialize in a skill simply by using it frequently. For example, to increase the Magic skill, the character must cast spells to raise it naturally. The number of points that can be obtained through this system depends on the character's level (see Table).

  • Assignable points are granted by the game to speed up skill improvement, allowing it to reach 100 at earlier levels. All characters start with 10 free points and gain 5 points each time they level up. The Worker class receives 6 points per level.

Note: By using only natural skills, a skill can reach 100 no earlier than level 40. For this reason, it is common to use assignable points earlier, usually between levels 25 and 35. Warning! Once assignable points are used on a skill, they cannot be reassigned.

It is important to note that assigning points manually prevents those points from being increased naturally until the next level-based cap is reached. For example, if points are assigned to reach 60 in Magic, that skill cannot be increased naturally until level 25, when it can then be raised up to 63 (see table). Except in specific cases, it is recommended to prioritize natural skills at least until level 25 and only then consider using assignable points. Before assigning points, make sure you have taken full advantage of all natural skill increases allowed by your current level.

Navigation, Leadership and Short Weapons Combat

Some skills cannot be improved naturally or require assigning initial points in order to be used.

  • Navigation: To sail in Argentum Online, the Worker class requires level 23 or higher and 35 points in Navigation. All other classes must be level 25 or higher and have 70 points in Navigation. This skill does not increase naturally, so free points must be assigned.

  • Leadership: This skill has two functions: founding a clan and creating a party. It cannot be improved naturally, so founding a clan requires assigning 50 points in Leadership. Currently, creating a party does not require any points in this skill.

  • Short Weapons Combat: This skill is the Assassin class specialty, who can improve it naturally by using daggers from the beginning. Other classes that use daggers can also specialize naturally in Short Weapons Combat, but they must first assign at least 10 free points to the skill.

It is recommended to consult the class manuals for a more detailed explanation of the appropriate skills for each class, along with a conventional skilling recommendation.
