Skill System Overview
The skill system in Sun Haven uses experience-based progression:
How Skill XP Works
- Activity-based XP - Each relevant activity earns XP for its skill tree
- Farming XP - Gained from planting, watering, harvesting
- Mining XP - Gained from mining ores, breaking rocks
- Combat XP - Gained from defeating enemies
- Fishing XP - Gained from successful catches
- XP scaling - Higher-level activities give more XP
Skill Tree Structure
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Levels per Tree | 15 levels with increasing requirements |
| XP Requirements | Scale exponentially (Level 1: 100 XP, Level 15: ~5000 XP) |
| Skill Unlocks | Each level grants at least one skill/bonus |
| Milestone Levels | Levels 5, 10, 15 often unlock major abilities |
Strategy Tip: Focus on 2-3 skill trees initially rather than spreading effort across all 13. Deep progression in key trees unlocks powerful automation and efficiency tools faster.
