Max Level Skills - on main character

[Mae]

Hey! I know you can ''control'' your tribesmen to get access to better skills. Like I'm searching for Great Sword and Bow skills and some have up to 120. But our Main is ''locked'' at 50 for all skills. Is there a way, to keep my main, the character that I created and like and to unlock skills pass the 50 points?

[Noranum]

There is a mask improvement locked behind Data Update 3 that grants additional 10 points. Beside that, I don't know of any way to improve the starting character

[BigBombz]

Nope.

[HonorQ]

+1

That just seems stupid that we can't level our personal characters up.

Yes, I don't really understand why we are stuck at 50 when followers lower level than me, can achieve higher skills.... Yes you can control another one, but I want to keep MY toon D:

so basically "The main character" is just some generic rando that gets replaced and relegated to redundancy or outright forgotten in no time. Got it.

Think of the main char like the steward of the whole tribe. Since the player is basically the MASK, and the main char had the bad luck being chosen as the carrier, they are now the brain, but not the brawn, of the whole thing. Additionally, the game wants you to go out and recruit people. If you could just become the best in every trade, you would not actually found a tribe.

Could be a remnant from the previous Demo. It was commended on a previous post stating that it was limited to 50 in the demo. Lets hope it gets resolved soon.

Let's hope it's the case and not that they intended for us to ditch the first toon D: I understand the mask is the power, but I don't know... I like my character too...

The game trailers and descriptions literally present the concept of "no main character", so anyone taken by surprise by that has gone to great lengths to stay ignorant. Some people are just laser focused on failing at everything they do. You can't fight against that.

I mean you still need a tribe for the up keep of your base while you are gone. Crafting, breeding, farming, gathering, patrol route... You can't be doing all of that AND go out and explore.

Yeah but people would try to become a one-man-army. Or tribe. I know I would do everything by myself if I could. This way, people like me are encouraged to actually get more people and use the tribe system. While I understand that it seems strange for the "hero" to be limited so much, personally I like it this way for the reasons I stated. :D

My whole problem with this is once you do find a new recruit you wanna use the main character you made becomes uttterly worthless you cant assign them to work or anything they just sit in the base. At the very least let us assign them to the bonfire or something.

Yes I saw that, even my friend toon, he was just sitting on the floor the whole time last time. I was playing and he wasn't. So the shell of his toon just sat there. I can't assign him to do anything... If we are meant to move around with the mask, then this toon needs to be able to function and do the same thing as the other tribesmen.

There isn't a way other than minor upgrades... but they won't take you as high as +120... as far as I know.

The best solution would be for there to be a mask power that allows you to "absorb" a tribe members skills and make them your own (killing the tribe member in the process). That way... you still need to look for that perfect tribe member but also get to keep to play with the character you created... should you wish to do so.
