Attribute Point

Basics
Attribute Points (AP) are used to increase your character's rank in attributes.

You can see your current number of unspent AP in the Skills and Attributes menu (default key "K").

How to gain AP
You gain AP by two methods:

Level up
Every time you level up you gain AP:
 * 5 AP for each level 2-10
 * 10 AP for each level 11-15
 * 15 AP for each level 16-20

This adds up to 170 AP at level 20.

Attribute Quests
On top of the 170 AP you can gain when you level up to level 20, additional AP are obtained by completing attribute quests. For Prophecies, these quests are among the more difficult and complex in the game and located in the advanced areas. In Factions, they are both on Shing Jea Island and can be completed before moving to the mainland. In Nightfall, they are both in Istan and are tied to the Sunspear rank.

There are currently 2 attribute quests in each campaign, giving you 15 AP as reward each. Characters are only allowed to take the two quests that are "native" to the campaign they started in.

Summary Table
The maximum possible number of AP you can reach with both of the above mentioned methods is 200, as shown in the table below.

''Note: 20+ and 20++ mean level 20 plus 1 or 2 completed attribute quests.

Attribute Point Re-assignment
At any outpost or town, a player can decrease the attribute points allocated to one attribute and increase another attribute. This can be done any number of times. The only limitation is that it cannot be done while adventuring in an explorable area.

To decrease the attribute points allocated to one attribute, simply press on the down arrow next to the rank.This will refund the attribute points allocated to that last rank back to the available attribute points. You can then use those to increase another attribute.

In explorable areas, you can only spend attribute points you haven't assigned yet - you cannot alter points already spent; e.g. you may not decrease your attribute levels, but you can increase them while exploring with unspent points, such as gained when you level up.

The old system of "refund points" is now defunct. Refund points were spent to remove previously spent attribute points and were earned by gaining additional XP. This system was removed in the September 7, 2005 update.
