Skill Rank

Cabal's method of aquiring skills works by raising your Skill Rank. You increase your rank automatically by fighting monsters. See the skilling guide for more details.

There are 10 skill Ranks:
 * 1) Novice(Starting Skill Level)
 * 2) Apprentice(Level 10)
 * 3) Regular(Level 30)
 * 4) Expert(Level 40)
 * 5) A. Expert(Level 50)
 * 6) Master(Level 60)
 * 7) A. Master (Level 70)
 * 8) G. Master (Level 80)
 * 9) Completer(Level 90)
 * 10) Transcender(Level 100)

For each skill rank up (except Novice, as that's your starting rank) you need to have the appropriate class rank as well: to actually rank up to Apprentice, the lvl 20 class rank up must be completed. Likewise for the other ranks, up until Transcender which requires the lvl 100 class rank up. If the requirement is not met, your skill experience simply stays at the maximum and you'll rank up on the first skill use after the requirement is met.

Each time you rank up, you are awarded with several bonuses:
 * Additional skills available for purchase
 * Additional skill slots available for Sword, Magic, and Upgrade skills
 * Additional Stat Points
 * Additional HP & MP

All Classes get the same amount of status points. All Classes get the same amount of hp/mp per rank.
