Talent Levels

• Talents start at level 1 and max out at level 16.
• Talents level similarly to skills (where level 1 is rank F and level 15 is rank 1) but do not require AP and are based on the ranks of the skills that talent specializes in.
• Each skill gives a different amount of talent experience based on the player's race and the skill's rank. The accumulation of a certain amount of experience in a talent causes the talent to rank.
  • Deranking skills will cause one to lose talent experience and level if the accumulated experience goes below the acquired amount.
  • Perfect training or mastering a skill does not provide additional talent experience.
• Level 16 (Grandmaster) cannot be reached through talent experience. Instead, the player must reach level 15 (Master) and then take several tests from Lezzaro.
  • For more information on Grandmaster status, see Grandmaster.
  • Lowering Talent level during or after the Grandmaster tests will cause the player to lose their Grandmaster standing until they re-level the Talent.
• Talent levels affect what difficulties can be selected for non-Generation Shadow Missions and Theatre Missions.
  • Basic: One level 1 (Fledgling) talent
  • Intermediate: One level 5 (Naive) talent
  • Advanced: One level 7 (Senior) talent
  • Hard: One level 11 (Expert) talent
  • Elite: One level 1 (Fledgling) talent, requires an elite pass from the party leader
  • Lord: One level 15 (Master) talent, requires a Lord Pass from each party member
• A level 11 (Expert) talent is required to enter Abyss Dungeons.
• A level 15 (Master) talent is required to wield its affiliated Demonic Weapon (e.g. - Demonic Hellfire Cylinder requires Level 15 Battle Alchemy Talent).

• There are journal entries for reaching level 2 (Novice), level 5 (Naive), level 8 (Advanced), and level 11 (Expert) for each talent, which reward AP.
