What are Veteran Abilities?
Veteran abilities are special abilities that unlock once a player has reached level 25. They are abilities to enhance and customize your player's performance.
How do I choose Veteran Abilities?
When you reach level 25, you will receive two veteran abilities immediately. To choose them, just click on the veteran points listed on the player's profile page.
How do I get more Veteran Abilities after the first two?
You will automatically earn veteran experience toward selecting a new veteran point every day during the season (from day 1 - 40). When your player's veteran xp reaches 1000, you will earn one new veteran ability.
How much veteran experience do I gain per day?
As your regular experience levels out, your veteran experience increases until it levels out at a steady rate as well:
From level 25-30, you receive 125 veteran XP per day.
From level 30-35, you receive 150 veteran XP per day.
From level 35-40, you receive 175 veteran XP per day.
From level 40 up, you receive 200 veteran XP per day.
Veteran XP continues even after your player's skills start to decline.
Is there a limit to the number of veteran points I can save up without spending them?
There is only a technical limit. You cannot store more than 255.
I see that veteran abilities can be selected more than once. What is the maximum level?
As you level up, the level that your veteran abilities can reach also increases:
From level 25-30, veteran abilities may go to level 5.
From level 30-40, veteran abilities may go to level 10.
From level 40 up, veteran abilities may go to level 15.
Some of the veteran abilities are grayed out. What does that mean?
Certain veteran abilities have prerequsites that you must meet before you can select them. For example, some might require that you reach 50 base strength, or have at least 800 fame. Roll your mouse over the veteran ability to see what the prerequisites are.
Are percentages on abilities multiplicative or additive?
They are multiplicative. If you have a 50% chance to do something, and an ability gives you a +10% bonus, you now have a 55% chance to do that thing.
Are percentages added to normal attributes added onto the base attribute or the attribute modified by equipment?
They are added on to the base attribute. If you have a base strength of 50, with equipment that gives you +3 strength, a +10% bonus would give you 58 strength.
Do decimals count when applying percentage bonuses to my attributes?
Yes. The simulation code deals with number in floating point.
If two abilities or an ability and a special equipment item both do the same thing, do the percentages add or are the applied more than once?
They are added up and then applied. For example, if you have a veteran ability that gives +10% bonus to breaking tackles, and a piece of advanced equipment that gives +5% to breaking tackles, the total bonus applied is +15% to breaking tackles.
Will more veteran abilities ever be added?
Yes, if we receive good suggestions, or if some are needed to apply to new features we may add down the road, such as injuries.
