Skills & Progression | |
Player progression involves earning Skill Points by completing quests and activities, which are spent across five skill trees: Survivor (health, stealth), Warrior (Na'vi weapon proficiency), Hunter (RDA weapon proficiency, gathering), Maker (crafting, cooking), and Rider (Ikran and Direhorse abilities). Ancestor Skills are powerful, unique abilities learned by connecting with Sarentu ancestors at specific locations. Gear (clothing, weapons) is crafted using resources gathered from Pandora's flora, fauna, and RDA tech, and can be improved with mods and designs from different Na'vi clans. Na'vi Favor with clans unlocks better gear and recipes. |

public World & Exploration | |
World & Level Design | |
The Western Frontier is a vast, new continent on Pandora, divided into three primary regions: the Kinglor Forest (lush rainforests, home to the Aranahe clan), the Upper Plains (windswept grasslands, home to the nomadic Zeswa clan), and the Clouded Forest (misty, enigmatic woodlands, home to the secretive Kame'tire clan). Each region has distinct biomes, flora, fauna, and RDA facilities. The world is designed for vertical exploration, utilizing Ikran flight and Na'vi agility. |
