TherianSaga Journal

This is where you can customize your hero's gender and appearance.


Then, you are asked to choose one of the land skill:
First column        : Urban, Hill and Mountain
Second Column   : Cave, Forest and Plain

What are these land skills for?
In the game, there are Urban, Hill, Mountain, Cave, Forest and plain with different level setup. Your hero's land skill must be equal/greater than the level indicated on the land your hero is on. If your hero is not at the indicated land skill level, your hero is not allowed to perform any actions (Exploring, Taming, Woodcutting, etc) on the land.

Are these skills important when I first step in the game?
hmm... not really, but it is good to choose the land skill that could give extra support [i.e. it could be useful so that you could go to certain land to get the materials (Wood logs) to level your skill set (woodcutting)] to your skill set (Wood, Stone, Fauna, Flora, Fashioning and Metal).
