Skill Traits are skill enhancements that replaced the old Skill Notes after the 2015 Character Reborn update.

Skill Traits

Skill Traits are skill enhancements that can be attached to any Active or Special Active. Hyper Actives and Passives will not have any traits.

Each Special Active and Active possesses two traits. Only one trait can be chosen at any given moment but players also have the option of not choosing any. When a trait is chosen, the enhancement can not be reversed unless the Tome of Amnesia is present in the character's inventory.

Level Requirements

A skill's traits are unlocked when the player reaches a certain level. The level requirement is dependent on when the skill is learned.

Skills Level Requirement
Base Job Skills Level 20
1st Job Skills Level 40
2nd job Skills Level 70
Transcendence Skills Level 99

List of Traits

Each trait has their own unique name. When a skill is equipped with a trait, the name will precede the skill's name. Prior to the 01/27/2016 NA Patch, the trait's name were added to the end of the skill's name instead.
