YM778.TV Chapter 7 007: Stats
Titles were hard to come by, but usually during early game periods like this, Titles came about easily when you met the quota, and that is usually by acting in ways that warrants them to be bestowed. But titles weren\'t permanent, and even beyond that, the amount of titles a person can have was finite. There can only be 5 titles at any given time, if you gain a new title, you would have to decide if it was worth keeping, of course there were some special titles that you can still have even though you had your title slots maxed out.
Now race and classes weren\'t given until level 10, and those are offered in an optimal list calculated by a mysterious algorithm. The algorithm took into consideration your real life abilities and situation, your titles, the skills you had gained, and your playstyle. And beyond that, the choice of stats you had available. But even at that, Classes and races still had grades of their own, because it is from there specialization truly comes in .The free 5 stats per level would be lost, and instead stats would be allocated according to your class and race bonuses every time you level, with free stats given every five levels.
So in a manner of speaking every choice made in this game matters. But Cole wasn\'t too worried, of the skills he had received, Aeronaut and the mastery skill Gravity was the best. Titan Rising is a futuristic sci fi game with elements of advanced fantasy and magical societies. There were dungeons, territories, guilds, mana, demons, elves, dwarves etc, but at its core, Titan rising Online is a space exploration game. And it did not matter if you were planet bound or traipsing amongst the stars, an aviation skill of any sort is incredibly important, and Cole just got the best of it, or at least one of the best.
He gathered his loot, ignoring the crowd of gathered players, before slotting the bronze rank inventory attachment to his gloves. Which brings up another aspect of titan rising online. Gears are divided into equipment and attachments. Attachments can be anything from the inventory attachment which could be slotted into equipment. But not all equipment could have attachment slotted into them either. Nevertheless, attachments were useful and could range from basic utility like the inventory attachment, or very effective ones like night vision attachments or spell attachments that could let you use a certain type of spell in tandem with your equipment.
Either way the inventory attachment helped solve his biggest problem at the moment, or that was the matter of how he would store his loot. After taking two more healing pills, and feeling a lot better, though not at 100% he promptly ignored the audience he had gained and then went down the ladder, not even bothering to check his gains or use the rest of his prisms. Eventually going about it solo would not work out well for him, but for now at this early stage in the game he didn\'t really need anybody to work with, he was just fine on his own.
The hallway was pristine, on the walls were posters of virtual superstars, and a couple of different sports that existed in real life and some that didn\'t. Nevertheless, Cole walked down the hallway before coming to an elevator shaft, of course this was no elevator but rather a shuttle responsible for transportation across the space station. He stepped in, and took a seat, ignoring the fact that the shuttle was covered in blood and that it could comfortably sit up to a hundred people.
"Hey hold on! Wait! Wait!"
But Cole didn\'t, the shuttle began to move, riding forwards with curses following right behind it. Perhaps he was being self-centered and selfish and he was taking it to a whole other level, but he was still in the throes of a rather terrible heartbreak, as it stands he didn\'t have time for people, and they were all the enemy. Cole rested his back, given how large the coliseum is, the space station would be of significant size, so it would take him a while before the shuttle gets to its destination, in that time it would be better to take a look at his stat sheet and allocated whatever points he needed to allocate and use the prisms he gained from defeating what was most definitely an elite or mini-boss alien. But he also had to look through his new skills, and the equipment he had gained. And also get a proper tally for the money he had gained, as without a shred of doubt, Money was important in Titan Rising Online.

The extra stats were amazing, and without a doubt they would be going into his attunement stat. Skills in Titan Rising Online were only as strong as the stats they were slotted into, so their higher the stats, the stronger the skills. But beyond that the grades of the skills matter to, as their effectiveness, and power is mainly dependent on their grades and then it is built up from there.
A bronze rank strength stat might have a diamond prism skill, but even at such a low level it would be able to stand up with a silver or gold rank strength stat with a bronze ranked skill. So grades are important, and as it stands Cole had no more intentions to slot bronze rank skills into his stats, even iron rank skills won\'t be enough. The least he would go for would be silver, so even though that means he has to work twice as hard, then he would do so.
In just under an hour give or take a few minutes, Cole had been able to not only triumph against everything that had been thrown in his path, but to also get him strong enough that he could relatively be a bit safer now. He was at least a bit proud of his achievement, this should be enough to draw the attention of a few sponsors, and if not then…. He would just keep soldiering on. Cole popped a health pill in his mouth and was about to check the overview of his skills when the shuttle came to stop. He was a little caught off guard as the ride was a lot shorter than he had expected, but just as he got up his newly gained passive skill [Specter eyes] kicked in, and it was only by sheer luck that Cole was able to dive to the ground with his hands over his head as a massive tentacle flew through the doors smashing into the seats, and all Cole could do in response was curse out loud.
"FUCK!!"
