There are a great number of professional trainers to which players can apprentice themselves upon entering the world. These people can teach practical applications of the various skills. Weapons trainers teach attack feats, crafting trainers teach recipes, etc. These trainer skills are supplemented by a host of attributes (strength, constitution, etc.) and secondary skills that do not require a trainer to learn, such as parrying.

Any player can be apprenticed to as many as three trainers at any given time, with the ability to drop apprenticeships for new ones, or take on additional apprenticeships as they advance up the ranks of their original three. While training in these professions, players accumulate ability points, which they can then use to train themselves in new attack feats, magical spells, gathering techniques or crafting recipes. Abilities are the practical application of skills. In the case of combat and gathering, there are also enhancements, which can be plugged into feats or techniques players have learned to enhance their effectiveness.
