	==== Melee Skills ====		==== [[Melee Skills]] ====
	* '''Windmill''': A strong defensive and offensive skill that hits enemies in a 360° radius around the player, growing in range as you rank up. Useful to protect yourself from multiple mobs attacking at once, defend yourself from approaching enemies, or simply to dispatch a large group. Successfully landing this skill on a mob will also reset its AI aggro state, which in most cases will provide the user enough time to retaliate accordingly after execution. The skill retains its defensive properties even if you are a ranged or magic user, making it a useful skill regardless of your preference. If you are focusing on melee combat, it is recommended to not neglect ranking this skill.		* '''[[Windmill]]''': A strong defensive and offensive skill that hits enemies in a 360° radius around the player, growing in range as you rank up.

	* '''Smash''': The best defense is a good offense. Melee combat is a lot easier if you rank Smash, as it will allow you to one-shot enemies and prevent them from retaliating entirely. It is recommended you get this to at least Rank C in order to unlock Assault Slash.		* '''[[Smash]]''': The best defense is a good offense.

	* '''Assault Slash''': Speaking with Trefor (the knight in black armour on the path to Alby Dungeon) with Rank C smash gets you this skill. It allows you to jump to an enemy that has been knocked down, attacking it one additional time. It provides some much needed mobility for close combat.		* '''[[Assault Slash]]''': Speaking with Trefor (the knight in black armour on the path to Alby Dungeon) with Rank C smash gets you this skill.

	* '''Combat Mastery / Weapon ~~Mastery~~''': Combat Mastery and the various weapon masteries provide a significant amount of health and damage for very few Ability Points. While you shouldn't use all your Ability Points on passive skills immediately, they are an easy way to increase your damage and survivability. Sword mastery is especially helpful for new players with low Dexterity who may suffer from low weapon balance.		* '''[[Combat Mastery]] / Weapon Masteries''': Combat Mastery and the various weapon masteries provide a significant amount of health and damage for very few Ability Points.

	* '''Ranged Attack:''' This determines your aim speed, load times and damage when using ranged weapons. There is big difference from rank F and rank 1, thus it is recommended to rank this before other ranged skills.

	'''Warning to beginners:''' ''Using magic, especially early on is very costly. Ice and Fire bolts require use of a chaincast wand to be effective, and burn through costly durability very quickly, not to mention the large amount of gold or time you will spend buy/crafting mana potions. While bolt spells ''CAN'' be an effective option starting out, they are very costly. Consider using an alternative play style when starting out unless you are more experienced.''

	* '''Icebolt:''' A quick-fire bolt. Charging more bolts simply allows one to quickly cast them one after another. A chaincast (CC) +2 to +4 wand will allow you to eliminate early dungeon mobs quickly and with relative ease. It becomes less useful in harder content, but is still a great tool early on.		* '''[[Icebolt]]:''' A quick-fire bolt. Charging more bolts simply allows one to quickly cast them one after another.

A CC+2 lightning wand is also effective at clearing low level dungeons.		*'''[[Lightning Bolt]]:''' A high damage bolt that will chain to more targets the more bolt charges you have.

However, you will not be able to fully rank this skill until you have access to intermediate magic.		* '''[[Magic Mastery]]:''' The magic-equivalent to Combat Mastery, providing a large amount of extra mana for relatively low AP.

	* '''Meditation:''' After learning all 3 bolt spells, talk to Stewart in the school in Dunbarton with the "Skills" keyword, and you'll get Meditation. This skill is trained by reading books rather than using the skill itself. It increases the regeneration speed of mana, allowing you save some mana potions.		* '''[[Meditation]]:''' After learning all 3 bolt spells, talk to Stewart in the school in Dunbarton with the "Skills" keyword, and you'll get Meditation.

	Alchemy is a cheaper alternative to Magic early on, and extremely effective. However, ranking Alchemy provides little to no extra stats that benefit other combat styles, and in order to increase effectiveness in Alchemy, you will need to branch out to other combat styles.

	* '''~~Watercannon~~:''' The ultimate newbie-friendly skill, however it requires rank 1 in order to be effective. Once fully ranked, you will find that you can clear all beginner and some intermediate content with this skill alone. Watercannon loads up to 5 charges, and fires them at your target, dealing increased damage with more charges. Damage output scales with MP and water alchemy mastery.		* '''[[Water Cannon]]:''' The ultimate newbie-friendly skill, however it requires rank 1 in order to be effective.

	* '''Chain Cylinder:''' Provides the user with a chance to receive extra charges immediately when loading Watercannon or Flameburst.

	*'''Wind Blast:''' A quick loading skill that can push 1 selected target back with a stun, or if you target the ground instead of an enemy, push back enemies in an AOE. Learning and leaving this skill at rank F is good as it retains its usefulness even if the damage is low. It takes some practice to get used to using Wind Blast effectively, but once learned can be extremely handy.		*'''[[Wind Blast]]:''' A quick loading skill that can push 1 selected target back with a stun, or if you target the ground instead of an enemy, push back enemies in an AOE.

	*'''Flame Burst:''' While less effective early on than Water Cannon, Flame Burst is very handy when used in conjunction with Wind Blast. Flame Burst is a line AOE that hits targets 3 to 5 times based on rank, and ignores protection, allowing for consistent damage. Use Wind Blast to move enemies into a pile, and execute Flame Burst to whittle them all down at once. Damage scales with HP and fire alchemy mastery.		*'''[[Flame Burst]]:''' While less effective early on than Water Cannon, Flame Burst is very handy when used in conjunction with Wind Blast.
