Prestige
Once a skill reaches level 99 you can prestige it. Prestiging resets the skill back to level 1, but grants a permanent bonus that stays even after the reset. Each skill can be prestiged up to 3 times.
Every skill gains +10% XP per prestige level (so +10% at prestige 1, +20% at prestige 2, +30% at prestige 3). Combat skills also receive a flat bonus to their effective stat in every session:
| Skill | Bonus (in addition to +10% XP) |
|---|---|
| Attack | +5 Attack per prestige level (up to +15 at prestige 3) |
| Strength | +5 Strength per prestige level (up to +15 at prestige 3) |
| Defense | +5 Defense per prestige level (up to +15 at prestige 3) |
| Ranged | +5 Ranged per prestige level (up to +15 at prestige 3) |
| Magic | +5 Magic per prestige level (up to +15 at prestige 3) |
| Hitpoints | +5 Hitpoints per prestige level (+50 max HP per level, up to +150 at prestige 3) |
| All other skills | XP bonus only |
