New Occultist Questions

Gnosis

Moderately new to Achaea, I've spent about the last 14 years in another IRE game, so be gentle :(

1. Is there a system that manages class defences?
2. What's the difference between the Altar Diadem and the Talisman?
3. Do occultists have any specific tradeskills that help them out, or are tradeskills universal?
4. Does Warp get stronger with higher Occultism?

1. The CURING SYSTEM can manage defences (HELP CURING SYSTEM). You can do DEFENCE LIST to see every single defence in the game - useful for finding the shortname of your own defences.
2. No mechanical difference, they do the same thing. One is a diadem you wear on your head, one is a talisman you wear around your neck (I believe).
3. All tradeskills are universal.
4. Yes. The vast majority (if not all) class attacks (especially those aimed at denizens) will become stronger the more you learn.

Some class defenses are not included in the Curing System, and some have odd names. For example, ASTRALVISION isn't listed as ASTRALVISION, but if you add Lifevision to your Curing Priority Defense List, it'll use Astralvision, granting you both lifevision and deathsight.

Another way to see the shortname of a defense is to use DEF BRIEF after you've manually used the skill.

Depending on the client you use to connect to Achaea there may be third party curing and defense systems that you can import that may include class defenses not included in the serverside Curing System.
