==TDPs from Circling==
Each time you circle, up to 150, you will gain a base number of TDPs plus a bonus based on your circle. Below circle 10 you get a base of 50 TDPs. Circle 10 onward, you will gain 100 TDPs as a base. The bonus TDPs are always equal to the circle you just attained. For example: if you attain circle 27, you will get 127 TDPs.


=== Maximum TDPs from Circling ===
A character is given 600 TDPs right out of the Character Manager. After that, the only way to gain more TDPs is by circling or obtaining new ranks in skills. You earn one TDP per 200 rank sum not including the ranks you get when you join a guild. The sum is as follows, you get the first rank in a subject, that's 1 added to the sum. you get another rank in the same skill, that's 2 added to the sum making it 197 more you need to get a TDP instead of 198 (1 plus 2 is 3, 3 from 200 is 197). We call this the TDP pool and when the pool goes over 200, it goes back down to below 200 in 200 increments and gives you TDPs relating to how many times it had to go down below 200. If your pool is currently at 3 and you just gained rank 597 in some skill, 597 is added to the 3 making it 600 and you will gain 3 TDPs and your pool will be at zero. If you had 50 in the pool and then got to rank 599, you'd gain 3 TDPs and your pool would be at 49.
After circle 150, TDPs cannot be gained from circling. The total number of TDPs gained from circling is 25,824.

=== Hidden TDP Pools ===
[[Spell Library]]
Every character has hidden TDP pools corresponding to each skillset (Weapons, Armor, Magic, Survival, and Lore), plus a separate pool for their Guild-specific skill. These pools accumulate points as you increase your top skills in each category, awarding TDPs each time a pool fills up.


Each skillset's pool requires '''200 points''' to fill. The TDPs awarded per fill vary by skillset:
* '''Weapons and Armor:''' 11 TDPs
* '''Magic, Survival, and Lore:''' 10 TDPs
* '''Guild Skill:''' 1 TDP


=== Earning Points ===

{{Stub}}
Points are generated based on the average of your top ''X'' eligible skills within a given skillset.
* ''X'' is equal to your guild's required number of skills for that skillset '''plus one''', with a minimum value of 2, and a maximum of 8.
* Certain skills (such as Masteries) are excluded from this calculation. ''(See the chart below for guild-specific requirements and excluded skills).''

Whenever the average of these top ''X'' skills reaches a new whole number, an amount of points equal to that new average is dumped into the skillset's TDP pool.

=== Example Calculation ===
Consider a Moon Mage gaining Weapon TDPs. Based on the chart, their calculation uses the top '''two''' eligible weapon skills (excluding masteries).

# '''Starting Average:''' If the two highest skills are Small Blunt (300 ranks) and Large Blunt (300 ranks), the average is 300.
# '''Partial Increase:''' When Small Blunt increases to 301, the average becomes 300.5. Because the average has not reached a new whole number, 0 points are added to the pool.
# '''Triggering a Deposit:''' When Large Blunt also increases to 301, the average becomes 301. This triggers a deposit, and '''301 points''' are added to the Weapon TDP pool.
# '''Awarding TDPs:''' The pool consumes 200 points to award 11 TDPs, leaving 101 points remaining in the pool.
# '''Subsequent Increases:''' When both skills later reach 302, the average becomes 302. Those 302 points are added to the 101 leftover points, bringing the pool to 403 points.
# '''Multiple Awards:''' The pool now has enough to fill twice. It consumes 400 points (200 x 2) to award 22 TDPs (11 x 2), leaving 3 points in the pool toward the next fill.
#: *Note: this example does not take into account left over points in the pool from skills prior to 300, this is just a simple example to demonstrate how the pool works.

Time Development Points (TDPs) are used to increase attributes.

In order to use TDPs to raise a stat, one must go to a designated room for training that particular stat and type TRAIN or STUDY twice to confirm. Training rooms for each stat are available within or near every major city.

A new character is given 600 TDPs right out of the Character Manager. After that, the only way to gain more TDPs is by circling or obtaining new ranks in skills.

TDPs from Circling

Each time you circle, up to 150, you will gain a base number of TDPs plus a bonus based on your circle. Below circle 10 you get a base of 50 TDPs. Circle 10 onward, you will gain 100 TDPs as a base. The bonus TDPs are always equal to the circle you just attained. For example: if you attain circle 27, you will get 127 TDPs.

Maximum TDPs from Circling

After circle 150, TDPs cannot be gained from circling. The total number of TDPs gained from circling is 25,824.

TDPs from Leveling Skills

Hidden TDP Pools

Every character has hidden TDP pools corresponding to each skillset (Weapons, Armor, Magic, Survival, and Lore), plus a separate pool for their Guild-specific skill. These pools accumulate points as you increase your top skills in each category, awarding TDPs each time a pool fills up.

Each skillset's pool requires 200 points to fill. The TDPs awarded per fill vary by skillset:

  • Weapons and Armor: 11 TDPs
  • Magic, Survival, and Lore: 10 TDPs
  • Guild Skill: 1 TDP

Earning Points

Points are generated based on the average of your top X eligible skills within a given skillset.

  • X is equal to your guild's required number of skills for that skillset plus one, with a minimum value of 2, and a maximum of 8.
  • Certain skills (such as Masteries) are excluded from this calculation. (See the chart below for guild-specific requirements and excluded skills).

Whenever the average of these top X skills reaches a new whole number, an amount of points equal to that new average is dumped into the skillset's TDP pool.

Example Calculation

Consider a Moon Mage gaining Weapon TDPs. Based on the chart, their calculation uses the top two eligible weapon skills (excluding masteries).

  1. Starting Average: If the two highest skills are Small Blunt (300 ranks) and Large Blunt (300 ranks), the average is 300.
  2. Partial Increase: When Small Blunt increases to 301, the average becomes 300.5. Because the average has not reached a new whole number, 0 points are added to the pool.
  3. Triggering a Deposit: When Large Blunt also increases to 301, the average becomes 301. This triggers a deposit, and 301 points are added to the Weapon TDP pool.
  4. Awarding TDPs: The pool consumes 200 points to award 11 TDPs, leaving 101 points remaining in the pool.
  5. Subsequent Increases: When both skills later reach 302, the average becomes 302. Those 302 points are added to the 101 leftover points, bringing the pool to 403 points.
  6. Multiple Awards: The pool now has enough to fill twice. It consumes 400 points (200 x 2) to award 22 TDPs (11 x 2), leaving 3 points in the pool toward the next fill.
    *Note: this example does not take into account left over points in the pool from skills prior to 300, this is just a simple example to demonstrate how the pool works.

Number of Skills for Maximum TDPs

The chart below shows the base number of skills required per skillset for each guild. Remember that the X value used for TDP calculations is this number plus one.

Skill Requirements by Guild
Guild Weapon Armor Lore Survival Magic
Barbarian 6 3 3 6 3
Bard 4 2 5 5 6
Cleric 4 3 5 5 6
Empath 2 2 5 5 6
Moon Mage 2 2 5 6 7
Necromancer 2 2 3 8 6
Paladin 4 3 4 6 4
Ranger 4 3 3 8 4
Thief 4 2 4 8 3
Trader 2 3 5 7 2
Warrior Mage 4 2 4 5 6

Important Calculation Rules

  • Guild Skill Exception: Your Guild Skill does not count toward the regular group requirements.
  • Excluded Skills: Defending, Melee Mastery, Ranged Mastery, Offhand Weapon, and Primary Magic do not count on either side of the equation (they do not fulfill requirements, nor are they eligible to generate points for the average).
  • Soft Requirements: Soft requirements do not add to the value of X.
  • Minimum Requirements: If a guild has zero requirements in a specific skill group, X defaults to 2 (the minimum possible value).

Maximum TDPs from Skills

The total number of TDPs gained from skills is 405,980.

TDP INFO Verb

Typing TDP INFO in game will give you a break down of which skills are currently being used as your top skills, as well as how many TDPs you've gained in each skill group, and other useful information.

Maximum TDPs

The maximum TDPs able to be earned is 432,404, which includes TDPs gained from character creation(600), circling(25,824), and skills(405,980).|
