Sigil types

Sigils are categorized into three: active, job-exclusive, and passive.

Active sigils can be actively used in combat, granting players a diverse range of additional skills (Primal, Power, Descent of Holy Light, and Excalibur);
Job sigils are exclusive to specific jobs, and enhance particular skills. For instance, Lord Knights can benefit from the Aura Enchantment sigil;
Passive sigils can be activated during battles, regardless of a player’s class, to enjoy their effects during combat.

Sigil activation and upgrade

Each sigil unlocked for the first time will activate corresponding collection stats that have a permanent effect.

Unlocking and upgrading sigils will earn players collection XP, which in turn unlocks bonus stats and item rewards.

Once the maximum level has been reached, sigil shards can be used to repair the stone tablet. Increasing the repair level unlocks stat bonuses too for further power boosts.
