Most Classes begin the game with 2 predetermined Skills (they are different for each class). Other skills are purely for stats, and these skills can be purchased repeatedly (5x times each) to allow your character to gain higher stats on a specific path. Some skills will unlock specific features, like unlocking higher class equipment or gaining more healing items at a Sanctuary. In between these parts - where they come together - you will see a mix of Skills that would be beneficial to hybrid users. The Skill Tree is laid out in such a way that Magic users will put points into the left side of the tree, Dexterity users will put points into the upper left part of the tree, Strength users will put points into the upper right part of the tree and Wisdom users will use the right side of the tree. This will give you a more accurate readout of how each stat change will affect your character. You can use L2/R2 to cycle between the panels. To the left of the Skill Tree is a seperate window that displays your character stats. Gray Pearls will refund you Black Pearls, should you choose to respec a Skill. You can acquire Black Pearls by spending Salt in a Sanctuary, or by finding them through out the game. The Tree of Skill in Salt and Sanctuary is where the player will spend Black Pearls and Gray Pearls to acquire Skills.
