Spirit Speak
Spirit Speak lets you contact the netherworld and understand the speech of ghosts.
Talking with the dead
Dead players wander the world as ghosts, and to the living their words appear as unintelligible "OooOOo" wails. Use Spirit Speak to attune yourself:
- On success you "contact the netherworld" and can understand ghost speech for a while — from 15 seconds at low skill up to 3 minutes at Grandmaster.
- On failure the contact is lost immediately (and any active attunement ends).
That makes the skill useful for helping fallen party members in a dungeon — a dead friend can tell you where their corpse is or whether it is safe to resurrect them. Healer NPCs practice the skill themselves and can train you in the basics for gold.
Using the skill costs no mana and no reagents, and it reveals you if you are hidden.
Skill cap and training
Spirit Speak caps at 100 — there are no skill scrolls for it.
Training is as simple as it gets:
| Skill | Method |
|---|---|
| 0 – 30 | Pay a Healer NPC for training |
| 30 – 100 | Use the skill over and over — it costs nothing and needs no target |
Since each use rolls a normal skill check, gains keep coming all the way to 100. Train in a dungeon for the 20% gain bonus if you want to speed it up — see Skills Overview for all gain modifiers.
