Skills are enhancements that boost a player's effectiveness in doing certain tasks, such as shooting, running, and resource gathering. Skills may be bought using experience obtained from harvesting resources and killing NPCs. Upon death, half of the levels of non-specialized skills are lost, as well as half of acquired experience. Without a skillset, it takes a total of 3350 experience to buy all skills excluding a random boost.
