Getting Started in The Quinfall

There's no class selection screen — the weapon you equip determines your available skills, and each weapon levels up independently (90 levels) with its own skill points.
Each weapon has 2 subclasses built from 2 skill trees, and you can mix subclass skills as long as you've unlocked the prerequisite ability first.
You can learn skills from multiple weapon types on one character, so don't feel locked into your first weapon pick.
28 professions exist across gathering, crafting, and trade — worth picking one early since naval trade routes are a core part of the economy.
