Talent
A player's Talent represents their proficiency in a group of skills. Talents can be trained by performing various activities related to that talent. In doing so, experience is awarded to that talent. Completing Quests can also award experience to different talents.
Advancing a level in a talent automatically upgrades all basic aspects of skills within that talent. Additionally, players earn Training Points that can be used to purchase new skills in that talent, or to upgrade special aspects of skills they already own.
Talent classes
Talents can be grouped into 16 unique classes.
| Talents | |
|---|---|
| Combat-related | |
| Crafting | |
| Harvesting | |
| Unreleased |  Economic •  Fashion •  Music •  Writing |
Talent Marks
A Talent Mark is a symbol on a pony's flank that symbolizes the pony's talent. During alpha development, ponies are created with up to one Talent Mark selected by the player from the in-game character creator.
Players cannot upload custom talent marks due to the difficulty in moderating the images.
Talent Quests
Talent Quests are a collection of quests which a player must choose to grow from a foal into an adult pony. By selecting a specific talent, the player becomes a specialist in that talent, which awards the player with all skills from that talent for free. This leaves the player with more Training Points to purchase skill upgrades.
Note that specializing in a talent does not prevent players from using skills in other talents, but players will be unable to acquire sufficient Training Points to learn all skills and skill upgrades in non-specialized talents.
The Farming, Science, and Weather talent quests are currently in development, and therefore cannot be selected.
Base Talents
In addition to the talents that players may pursue, each of the pony races have base talents that contain fundamental abilities such as running speed and basic combat skills. These abilities are unlocked upon starting the game, but do not have special effects that can be upgraded with Training Points. Abilities under Base Talent improve with the player's selected talent mark.
