If you preordered a deluxe version of the game that includes a custom title (such as the Kickstarter 'Duke' package, or similar packages from Indiegogo or the Gorgon Shop), that title is now available! (Assuming that you filled out the backer form to tell us what title you want... we are still waiting on those forms for dozens of people.)

All characters on your account will automatically receive the title when you log in. You can also give your unique title to other players if you want to. There are two ways: you can use the new chat command /entitle to give your title to a nearby player (e.g. type "/entitle Bob" in chat, without the quotes, to give a player named Bob your title). In addition, you can create scrolls that bestow your title on whoever reads one -- these can be sold or given away. You can create 5 of these scrolls every 7 days. Use the command "/redeem CustomTitleScrolls" to get a stack of 5 scrolls. (You can use the command "/redeem" without anything else to see if your 7 days are up: if it says you have no redemptions available, you still have to wait!)

NOTE: once given out, you cannot take the title away from someone. So take great care!

If you do NOT have a title and you think you should have a title, don't panic -- this is just the first pass, and there may be data errors or omissions. Just let us know and we'll straighten it out in the next game update!

Note: player-owned titles are colored yellow for now, but we are still deciding on colors, so that may change.

== Skills and how to obtain them ==
The following table provides an overview of all the available skills currently available in the alpha version of the game, and a brief hint at how to obtain them.

=== Combat Skills===
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:left;border-color:#eee;"
! style="text-align:left;width:20%;" | Skill
! style="text-align:left;width:50%;" |Description
! style="text-align:left;width:30%;" |How to obtain
|-
|[[Archery]] || Expertise with using bows to hunt and kill. || Learned by new characters automatically, however you need to find the bow and arrows in a dilapidated chest on [[Anagoge]] near the Alchemy Book before you can use it.
|-
| [[Animal Handling]] || The art of taming animals and teaching them to fight alongside you. || Learned from a Shrine outside [[Serbule Crypt]]
|-
|[[Battle Chemistry]] || Using alchemical concoctions in the heat of battle. Not for the faint of heart, or the particularly sane, this combat style specializes in area affects of all types. Advanced Practitioners can also ingest their formulae directly to take on new combat personalities. Masters can even create homunculi to serve them in battle. || A Test NPC in Marna's shop teaches this for now, but the intended functionality is that you need an Alchemy of 50.
|-
|[[Druid]] || Druidin' || Use the Druid Shrine in [[Sun Vale]]
|-
|[[Fire Magic]] || Using Fire to destroy your enemies. This is a very potent offensive skill, including long-range and area-effect attacks, and even some Cold attacks for versatility. However, there are drawbacks: Fire magic is extremely Power-intensive; all creatures generate extra Rage when they are burned; and many creatures have some resistance to fire. || Talk with [[Velkort]]
|-
|[[Hammer]] || Mastery of the user of hammer and clubs in combat. Hammers are generally considered the least versatile, least complex combat weapon, best suited to violent brutes. There are few abilities to learn, since it's so simple. Power consumption is higher than average, but so is damage. This is a weapon for crushing enemies, no more and no less. || Reach a higher Favor level with [[Agrashab]].
|-
|[[Ice Magic]] || || Quest from [[Landri the Cold]].
|-
|[[Mentalism]] || The power of mind over matter: psychic powers! This combat ability focuses on recovery and restoration, but it also has multiple damaging abilities. || Reach Friends Favor level with [[Echur]]
|-
|[[Necromancy]] || Necromancy is control over the undead, along with other powers that triffle with mortality. To use necromantic abilities, you must be wielding or wearing a necromancy gem. You can often find these on weapons, and less often on pieces of armor. (If you are in a beast form, necromancy gems in weapons won't work, but ones in armor will.) ((Subskill: [[Corpse Talking]]) || Use the Necromancy Shrine in [[Serbule Crypt]] Level 2.
|-
|[[Psychology]] || Understanding the mind of sentient creatures. Also, using that knowledge in combat and other stressful situations. || Discover Psychology on [[Anagoge]].
|-
|[[Shield]] || Expertise in the use of a shield, both as a weapon and as a defensive tool. || Reach Friends favor level with [[Tyler Green]]
|-
|[[Staff]] || Mastery of the staff as a martial weapon. Staff fighting has a mix of both offensive and defensive abilities. || Raise favor level with [[Hogan]].
|-
|[[Sword]] || Expertise with swords, rapiers and the like. Swords are very damaging, and can reduce an enemy's Rage. || Learned by new characters automatically, but you must find a sword on [[Anagoge].
|-
|[[Unarmed]] || Mastery of the martial arts. Not especially damaging, but with great controlling and stunning abilities. Generally requires one or both hands to be empty, although you can use kicks even with other items wielded. || Learned by new characters automatically on [[Anagoge]].
