Marksmanship

Energy
The Energy skill increases damage done with energy and magic based attacks, as well as increases the compacity of the energy bar.

Agility
The Agility skill increases the attack speed and mobility of a player.

Defense
While FOAØ has no standalone defense stat, each race has its own set base defense from the start of the game. Rather than increasing a defense stat using skill points, defense bonuses are instead awarded through buffs and the armor worn by the player. In other words, an armorless human at level 70 will have the same defense as an armorless human at level 1.

Mind
The Mind skillset includes 2 subskills, Deception and Perception that each have their own set of abilities. Deceptioninvolves sneaking, camouflauge, disguise, and trickery while Perception is the training of the eyes to combat such trickery, as well as detection and insight.

Crafting
The Crafting skillset consists of 11 subskills that can each be trained in various ways: Fishing, Gardening, Smithing, Construction, Gathering, Tanning, Weaving, Cooking, Mining, Alchemy, and Engineering.
