Arts System
1. Introduction
The Arts System is the system through which the hidden potentials to player character’s skills can be unlocked. They will be made available in the form of tomes. The tomes that contain these “Arts” are named [Mystic Tomes] and there are different tomes specific to different Arts. After having obtained an Art, the Art will be bound to your character as an attribute.

3. Obtaining and Dismantling [Mystic Tomes]
Mystic Tome Crafting UI (WIP)
1. Crafting an Unidentified Mystic Tome
You can use [Mystic Tome Pages] to craft an [Unidentified Mystic Tome] through the different Class Masters in the game.
Crafting an [Unidentified Mystic Tome] through a Class Master requires [Mystic Tome Pages] and [Goddess’ Blessed Gems]. 2 [Mystic Tome Pages] and 10 [Goddess’ Blessed Gems] are required to craft a single [Unidentified Mystic Tome].
2. Crafting a Class-specific Unidentified Mystic Tome
You can also craft a [Class-specific Unidentified Mystic Tome] by visiting a Class Master that you want. A Class-specific [Mystic Tome] requires a greater number of [Mystic Tome Pages] and [Goddess’ Blessed Gems] than an [Unidentified Mystic Tome].
For example, you must visit the Swordsman Master NPC in order to craft a [Unidentified Mystic Tome: Swordsman] and use additional amounts of [Mystic Tome Pages] and [Goddess’ Blessed Gems].
3. Mystic Encyclopedia
As you can see above, obtaining a specific Art via [Unidentified Mystic Tomes] is hard work. [Mystic Encyclopedia] is a reward item that grants easier access to Mystic Tomes for players. [Mystic Encyclopedia] is more costly to craft but it is advantageous in that you can obtain the Art you want from by using it.
|
[Mystic Encyclopedia] |
Use to obtain a [Mystic Tome] of your choice. - Cannot be traded between players - Cannot be sold on the Market - Can be transferred via Team Storage |
Mystic Encyclopedia consists of different volumes containing different [Mystic Tomes]. For example, [Mystic Encyclopedia: Swordsman Vol. 1] and [Mystic Encyclopedia: Swordsman Vol. 2] consist of different Mystic Tomes and their contents do not overlap between volumes.
[Mystic Encyclopedia: Swordsman Vol.1] contents
[Mystic Encyclopedia: Swordsman Vol.2] contents
4. Dismantling a [Mystic Tome]
You can also dismantle [Mystic Tomes] into [Mystic Tome Pages].
Dismantling yields less number of pages than it took to craft a Tome but at times it can be preferable to get your used pages back than to earn Silver from them.
