“Every person has an equal amount of 8 skill slots. There are normal skills such as Physical Strength which take up 1 slot, but there are also rare skills which take up 4 to 5 slots, or even rarer ones which take up all 8 slots.” That’s what Old Man Hinga told me at the Orb Mine where they were unearthed.
