Description

Press F2 to see your characteristics. Characteristics help when you perform actions depending on them. When a new character is created all characteristics start at 19.5. Like skills they are limited to 20 if you don't have premium time. Points in characteristics are gained much more slowly than those in skills. On PVE: If a character was once premium and then loses premium, their characteristic skills will drop down to 30 (or remain unchanged if lower than 30); however, you can not raise them further until becoming premium again. On PVP: Characteristics remain capped at 20. Crossing from PVE to PVP will enforce this cap immediately.
