Skills

Idle Fantasy has 23 skills split across four categories: gathering, crafting, support, and combat.

Fishing	Gathering	Catch fish and aquatic treasures from the waters.
Woodcutting	Gathering	Chop trees and gather various types of wood.

Quest Indicators

Quest indicators appear as small superscripted icons next to skill names showing active quest progress. See Quest Icons for documentation of the quest category icons.

Prestige

Once a skill reaches level 99 you can prestige it. Prestiging resets the skill back to level 1 and awards 3 prestige points to spend in that skill's upgrade tree. Equipment that no longer meets its requirements after the reset is swapped for the best valid replacement you own. The skill also gets a 48 hour 2x XP boost after prestiging, so the climb back up is fast.

Every skill has its own tree with several upgrade paths (XP, yield, tool efficiency, and skill-specific specials). Tiers within a path must be bought in order, and tiers beyond the next unowned one stay hidden in-game until you reach them. A skill can be prestiged repeatedly until you have earned enough points to buy every upgrade available to your race.

Spent points can be refunded at any time with a respec, which returns their full cost (24 hour cooldown per skill).

Ironman characters can prestige too, but their race is permanently locked.

Prestige stars earned before v1.14.0 were converted in a one-time migration worth 3 points per star.

Session time reductions may also come from other sources such as the Chronos Spire building

Racial upgrades

Some upgrades can exclusively be unlocked by one race (or in rare cases two) and can't be bought by any other race. Once bought, unless you reset prestige points, these traits will remain even after changing race.
