9.0.7 THE SKILLFLEX SYSTEM
Sometimes you may wish to switch skills or specializations. This could be because you have skills incompatible with the teachings of a guild you are seeking to join, or you may want to take advantage of a skill or specialization choice that a guild offers. If you wish to drop a skill to take a new skill, you can either make it dormant or forget it permanently. DORMANT SKILLS -------------- You can make the skillset dormant which will allow you to take a new skill in its place. Later, you can reactivate the skill, assuming the skill slot is open and you are in a guild that allows the skillset. Syntax: FORGET <skillset> TEMPORARILY SKILLCHOICE ACTIVATE <skillset> It costs 50 lessons to activate a full skillset, or 25 lessons for the top or bottom half of a skillset with specializations (like Aquamancy or Elementalism). You are limited to consuming no more than 50 lessons per in-game day (once per RL hour) to activate skillset(s). Exception: Once a game year, if you join a new guild then you can consume up to 200 lessons to activate skillsets. FORGETTING SKILLS ----------------- Alternatively, you can permanently forget a skillset which will refund your lessons at a 20% loss to the skillset's lesson pool. Syntax: FORGET <skillset> PERMANENTLY NEWBIES ------- Up to and including level 60, players do not take the penalty inherent in forgetting skills. From level 61 onwards, you take the penalty as described above. Note that this only affects the permanent forgetting of skills. You will still pay the cost for activating temporarily forgotten skills, or for classflexing. See also SKILLCHOICE, LESSON POOLS.
