Everything you do in Thundoria counts toward something now — every ore cracked, tree felled, crop pulled, and enemy hit feeds nine skills that grow with you all the way to Mastery.
Nine skills, earned through play — Mining, Foraging, Farming, Strength, Ranged, Constitution, Magic, Smithing, and Fishing all track experience. Every swing of an axe, ore you mine, crop you harvest, and hit you land or take earns XP in the right skill automatically.
Skill levels up to 30 — each skill climbs from level 1 to 30 on a satisfying curve; earlier levels come quickly, later ones take dedication.
Overall Mastery level — your combined progress across all skills rolls up into a single Mastery Level shown in the HUD — a snapshot of how far along you are as an adventurer.
Skills panel (press K) — open the Skills panel to see every skill's current level, your XP progress bar toward the next level, and the bonuses you've already unlocked.
Level-up notifications — when you cross a level threshold, a toast appears so you never miss the moment.
Skills feed back into play — higher Strength and Ranged deal more damage; Constitution raises your maximum energy; all combat and gathering costs less energy as your level climbs.
