HP Up
Increasing this skill by one level boosts HP by 10%. The maximum level of 10 will raise the Maximum HP to about 1.5 times its original value. However, even with the original Maximum HP and this boost, it will not reach 999 HP. Special equipment is required to reach 999 HP. So, unless there is a specific reason, it is recommended to choose either skill level 1 or level 10. It will be easier in the early stages of the game if you raise this skill to level 1.
TP Up
Increasing this skill by one level boosts TP by 10%. The maximum level of 10 will raise the Maximum TP to about 1.5 times its original value. This skill is particularly useful for TP-consuming classes like Monk, Zodiac, Gladiator, and Arbalist, and it is recommended to raise it to the maximum level of 10. Unless there is a specific reason, it is recommended to choose either skill level 1 or level 10. It will be easier in the early stages of the game if you raise this skill to level 1.
Bandage
| Lv | 1 | 4 | 7 | 10 |

| TP | 2 | 4 | 8 | 8 |
| HP Recovery | 10 | 45 | 120 | 150 |
Bandage is to recover one ally’s HP. It can only be from the main menu. The amount of recovery for this skill is a fixed value. It cannot be used during battle, but it is recommended to acquire it for positions that have extra TP. This skill should be learned by Farmer, Ninja or Buccaneer. This skill will also work well in a party without Monk.
Combat Study
Combat study is a skill that automatically shares a percentage of the EXP gained by party members who are exploring while waiting. This skill helps to train members who are waiting in the guild. At Skill level 1, you can acquire 1% of the total EXP gained, while at level 10, you can acquire 10% of the total EXP gained. Of course, this is only applicable to those who have mastered the skill. Please note that this skill does not affect the EXP gained by the member who possesses the skill while exploring. Also, it has no effect on the EXP from the Oceanic Quest. It is recommended that you give this skill to your farmer only party that specializes in gathering to earn money, as that farmers will automatically level up!
Chop / Mine / Take
These skills increase the corresponding number of forages by one for each level. It is particularly beneficial for a Farmer party specializing in non-combat foraging for money.
