Life Skill
Life Skills in Rune Hero are casual gameplay features designed to offer progression paths outside of combat while playing a vital role in the in-game economy. Players can choose one Life Skill to learn and develop based on their personal interests and needs.
Skill Options & Features
Alchemy Gather magical ingredients and refine them into potions, combat consumables, or special quest items.
Mining Extract ores, rare metals, and Arcane Ore Fragments from designated mining zones. These resources can be used for equipment repairs, enhancements, or sold for profit.
Tailoring Collect and process fabrics, leather, and other materials to craft clothing, light armor, armor accessories, and certain special quest items. Tailoring can also be used to repair specific types of equipment.
Fishing Fish in rivers, lakes, and coastal areas to obtain fish, pearls, and other rare materials. These can be used in cooking, alchemy, or specific quest crafting.
Note: Each character can only master one Life Skill at a time. Changing skills requires consuming specific resources.
Gathering & Production
Gathering Each Life Skill has specific gathering locations. Gathering efficiency and rare drop chances scale with the skill’s level.
Production Certain Life Skills can refine gathered resources into finished products (such as potions, ingots, repair kits, or armor). These items hold value in combat, quests, and the trading market.
Cross-Skill Collaboration Since each player can only choose one Life Skill, high-level crafting often requires materials from other skills, fostering player-to-player trade and cooperation.
Economic Integration
Life Skills are a key pillar of the game’s economic cycle:
Provide essential consumables, repair kits, and enhancement resources for combat-focused players.
Enable players to sell products via the marketplace, creating gold and token circulation.
Introduce rare and high-tier items tied to specific gameplay modes or seasonal events, increasing long-term market value.
This system ensures that non-combat players can actively participate in the economy, generating stable income while complementing combat gameplay.
