Welcome to Part 5 of Forsaken World’s features special. This post will be mainly on the 8 classes’ skills and a basic description. There are a few things to note though. But before I go into them, please note that the Beta Keys for Forsaken World will be gone in around a week, after which players will have to scour gaming websites and events for one. If you have not gotten yours, visit the official website for one.
1. This is just a basic skill description list based on China server’s preview beta and upcoming official Closed Beta.
3. Nothing is confirmed and official for the North American version of Forsaken World. The skills’ descriptions, effects, cool downs and many more will most probably be changed. And of course, the skill names.
4. Do note that the skill names are either directly translated by me or I came up with a name close to the actual Chinese name. The list is definitely not 100% accurate.
5. Once again, DO NOT take this skill list as a template of what to expect for the North American version. Till the official website announces anything, all these are just translated from the Chinese server.
6. I have not added the skill cool-downs and cast time etc, it will be too much work (I am lazy).
7. Please let me know if I have made any mistakes by emailing me @ [email protected]
1. Other than normal skills, there are 3 XP skills for each race. Refer to this post and scroll down to read more about it.
2. When character levels, skills points are gained. Some skills requires you to invest certain amount of points into previous skills before you can learn them.
3. Some skills max out at level 3, some at 5 etc. And of course, there will be skills which requires a higher level before becoming available.
