Respec & More In DAoC

After months of requests from many of Mythic’s Camelot fans, they’ve finally decided on a way to allow players to “respec” their characters and will be looking into making certain spell lines and combat styles more attractive. Matt Firor gives the details over at the Camelot Herald:

We have heard the requests for allowing characters to be respecced due to evolution of the game since its release, as well as to be more lenient of training mistakes made by players when leveling characters. We took a long time on deciding to do this, but we wanted to be absolutely sure that it is the right thing to do, as well as be sure of the right way to do it – and it is and so we are. So, partial “respeccing” will be implemented for all players. This means that you can remove points spent in a specialization and “re-spend” them – which allows you to correct any specialization mistakes you’ve made, or to slightly alter your character’s skills.

The way we’re implementing the respec for initial testing is to let players convert one of their specializations twice in their career: at 25th level and 40th level. This means they can pick one specialization, have it be reverted down to 0 trains, and be given back the specialization points they trained in it. These spec points can then be used to train in any other specialization, or combination of specializations (or indeed the same one) as they wish.

When implemented, existing characters 25-39 will be given one respec, and then another when they reach 40th level. Characters 40th-50th will be given two respecs. All characters under level 25 will get one respec at level 25 and one at level 40.
