READ THIS BEFORE STARTING TO LEVEL

Since some of us have already started, i just wanted to make sure that everyone understood how important leveling your Ability PTs are. As you level your character, the amount of PT xp decreases on each monster. If you are a high level with lets say...Character 39 Range 49 Launcher 33 Melee 1 Shield 1. It will be almost impossible to level those Melee and Shield PTs. The only solution to this is by buying a level 7 weapon, get accuracy pots and pray that you make a hit a monster and gain the PT xp to level it.

Here are some details on the PTs

PT (Point)

In the place of the traditional statistics (such as strength, vitality and luck) found in many RPGs, RF has PT (PoinT). PT represents various masteries such as melee or range. Each PT has its own experience bar that is completely autonomous with a character's level. PT levels up as one uses the appropriate actions corresponding to that PT. For example, Defense PT gains in level as one gets hit.

Melee (Used for increasing melee weapon damage and accuracy. Required to wield higher level melee weapons and to wear close-range armour.)
Range (Used for increasing ranged weapon damage and accuracy and for increasing stamina. Required to wield higher level bows or guns and to wear ranger armour.)
Shield (Used to increase blocking rate. It increases when your shield blocks an attack. Required to use higher level shields.)
Defense (Used for increasing maximum HP and DP.)

In addition, the specialists of each race have an additional "Crafting PT", which is divided into three groups:

Weapon/Shield (Used for crafting higher level weapons and shields.)
Armour (Used for crafting higher level armours.)
Ammo (Allows crafting of elemental, giga and advanced ammo. Elemental ammo applies a certain element to the attack, giga is a magazine filled with 500 ammo as opposed to 100 for regular and advanced is more powerful ammo for beam weapons.)

Finally each race has its own special PT which is available only to members of that race:

Launcher (Accretia) Increases launcher attack power. Required to wield higher level launchers and to wear launcher armour.
Launcher System: The Accretian launcher is an enormous ranged weapon the size and power of which make it unusable by any other race. Launchers can fire missiles across great distances and are capable of firing many different types of rockets with either physical or elemental damage properties. However, there is a great delay period between shots but this delay can be overcome by using launcher specific armour. Accretians have the additional ability to enter siege mode, increasing fire rate but disallowing motion. Launchers can only be used at levels 15 and above and Siege Kits can only be used at levels 30 and above. There are currently two different Siege Kits: the level 30 kit is good for 1000 shots and increases defence by 20%, the level 40 kit is good for 1500 shots and increases attack power by 35%. After a Siege Kit runs out of durability it is destroyed and the player has to buy a new one.
- Latest upgrade of the siege kit is the Epochal Siege Kit (level 50), A.K.A red siege kit. There are 2 types, the attack kit (1000 shots) and the defense kit (2000 shots).**
