Guide 280newUpdated 2026-04-28

Quick Start

  • Open Tab, then Skills.
  • Earn Skill XP through roleplay activities.
  • Level up to gain skill points.
  • Spend points on ranks in skill trees.
  • Hover or click a skill node to read what it does.

Details

  • Skills are grouped into categories like Citizen, Labor, Entrepreneur, Criminal, Law, Combat, and Vehicle.
  • Bonuses are server-authoritative and applied by gameplay systems.
  • Many bonuses are tagged to specific sources, machines, jobs, or item kinds.
  • Citizen finance skills can improve salary, taxable income, banking XP, and bank interest payouts.
  • Respec rules let you adjust builds when allowed.
  • Fair-play systems can grant XP but skills do not change casino, coinflip, or lootbox odds.

Gotchas

  • A locked node needs level, prerequisite, or point requirements.
  • Skill bonuses are capped by policy helpers.
  • XP sources can have anti-farm limits.
  • UI descriptions may show planned hooks only after the implementation is live.
