- Two skills are known from the start; the other three are learned from Skill Runes, glowing teal hexagons. Read one to learn its skill.
- A rune only works for its class at the listed level. Reading one you already know gives 6 Emberstones.
- Emberstones level skills up. Pick them up like gold, or buy them from Borin.
- Four bar slots, Q W E R, arranged in the Skill Book (K); right click is always the basic attack.
- Attack skills scale with weapon damage and attack speed; spells use base damage that grows with character level, plus spell damage and cast speed.
