# 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 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 <span style="text-decoration: underline;">CURRENT</span> %.*

**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
