Skills
Guides all about how Cyntara's skill systems work.
Talent Points
Talent Points are a part of Cyntara that provide offensive, defensive and utility effects. They can be accessed by the top left under Character.
Talents
Talents can be gained through completing quest, chest quests, and various activities throughout the game.
Note: If a talent says increases the maximum, it literally means increases the MAXIMUM, not the CURRENT %.
Artifact Talent Points
These are obtained through Minor Artifact Talent Tokens, Major Artifact Talent Tokens, or through killing monsters in 1200+ zones. These will enhance your artifact spells further and generally follow the rule of:
Rank 1: Soul Cost Removal
Rank 2: Duration Increase
Rank 3: Damage Increase/Projectile Increase/Damage Reduction/Healing Increase
Alchemy
The Alchemy system lets players collect various ingredients and brew potent potions that provide combat stats and resistances.
The resistances can break through natural resistance limit of a vocation.
Players that want to begin their journey with the Alchemy can do the Alchemy 101 quest which will introduce you to the system.
Completing the quest is not mandatory to the use of the Alchemy system though.
Additionally players have a chance to brew additional elixirs based on their Alchemy skill level.
Alchemy Station
Alchemy Station is required for brewing elixirs.
It can be found in the main city, north-east of the temple. You will receive a map mark with the location after finishing the Alchemy 101 quest.
The alchemy station will display the list of known recipes as well as the option to view their details and brew the elixirs.
Alchemist's Recipe Scroll
The Alchemist's Recipe Scroll is used to teach the players an elixir recipe.
The system is designed to always reward players with recipes that they have not yet learned.
The scrolls are bound to the player meaning that they cannot be traded with other players.
They can be looted from raid bosses and dungeon bosses (including Talisman Dungeons).
Ingredients
Ingredients are required to brew any elixir. This is a general list of the ingredients, the specific ones as well as their amounts can be viewed by selecting "Details" section from the Alchemy Station.
With the exception of Alchemy Flask they can all be looted from raid bosses and dungeon bosses (including Talisman Dungeons).
- Alchemy Flask - A base item requried for all types of elixirs. It can be purchased from the Tool Vendor NPC.
- Purple Basil - A base ingridient required for all types of elixirs.
- Box of Averting Powder - A base ingridient required for any defense elixir.

Fishing
For any Cyntarist with an interest in Fishing, Jason is inevitably the first destination. Jason can be found on the docks on west Main Street. Fishing rods can be used to catch all sorts of exotic fish, aquatic creatures, and even some valuable items! You can also earn experience for fishing, and is a great way to level to around 300 if early combat is not your thing.
Here is the common fishing macro, this will work in the standard spot you see everyone standing South West of the city.
Jason sells 5 types of fishing rods:

Fish that are caught can be sold back to Jason. If you fish out a monster and it attacks you, it will disappear if it loses target. A fishing rod's break chance depends on your fishing skill as well as the rod's tier.
