Realm Abilities

Realm Points and Titles
The great deeds you perform against members of enemy Realms are rewarded not by the conventional experience points, but by special recognition in the form of Realm Points and Titles. Only by defending your Realm and invading the other Realms' frontiers can you earn these special recognitions. And, of course, with Realm Points come special rewards. As you gain Realm Points, your Realm Rank and Realm Level will increase, giving you Realm Ability Points to purchase special abilities from your class trainer, and increasing your skill bonuses.

Realm Abilities
Realm abilities are special skills that can be purchased through the use of Realm Rank Points. These points are gained as you climb your way through the Realm Rank ladder. With each increasing Realm Rank Level, you gain one point. These points can be either saved up or spent to purchase powerful and useful abilities.

The abilities available to you depend on what class you play. There are also unique realm abilities, which are only available to a single class.

Realm Point Costs are standardized. The Realm Abilities fall into one of two categories: RAs with nine levels and RAs with five levels.

Every class is granted a free `Class Specific&#39; RA at Realm Rank 5. Most of these are on a ten or fifteen minute timer, based on power.

The RA system has a scaling return for the purchase of higher tier RAs. Purchasing level one of an RA will provide a better return on investment than purchasing level two, but the scaling is designed to encourage players to spec higher in specific RAs, allowing for more diversity in RA templates.

Some realm abilities are limited to characters who have reached the minimum level of 40. If the character is below level 40, the realm ability will not be shown in the class trainer's list.
