Traits Guide (How to Unlock)
As soon as you unlock a Trait, you have it. It is automatically applied to your character, you don’t have to do anything yourself. Traits can be leveled by using Trait Points, which increases the power of the particular bonuses of that trait. There is also your Trait level, which represents your overall power – it’s the level of all of your traits combined into a single number.
Leveling Up Traits:
Traits can be strengthened by increasing its level, in order to do that:
- Players will need to kill enemies and bosses to increase one’s Trait Rank which grants Trait Points upon leveling up;
- Not only by killing enemies and bosses will players acquire Trait Points, but also by finding items that provide trait points such as the Tome of Knowledge which grants a player 1 Trait Point.
