Developer-confirmed progression
Use a playstyle to earn its perk points.
Titan Roc's developer response names greatswords, shields, trap making and Alchemy as examples. Using those systems earns perk points for abilities and stat increases, while separate character points improve the mercenary's main stats.
The two cited regional guides agree on five Skill Books in Forest Edge. Each of the five has a readable route in the GamesNight walkthrough.
How many Skill Books are in South Vale Hamlet?
CritViews reports three. Its text explains that the third requires Skerva's quest chain, but the first two are shown visually without reliable text directions.
Why are two routes marked unverified?
Their existence is source-backed, but the available text does not provide enough landmark detail to write a dependable route. This guide does not infer positions from an image alone.
How does character progression work?
A Titan Roc developer explained that using playstyles such as greatswords, shields, traps and Alchemy earns perk points for abilities and stat increases. Separate character points improve the mercenary's main stats.
