Agility Leveling & Perks Guide: And

Agility Uses and Effects: Higher Agility reduces melee stamina cost, makes dodging easier, improves heavy armor effectiveness, and enhances ranged weapon use. Meeting Agility weapon requirements increases wielding effectiveness and reduces stamina cost. Agility significantly impacts Stealth and reduces fall damage, while also decreasing stamina usage during out-of-combat dashes.

Stealth: Engage in stealth activities (sneaking around villages at night, stalking bandit camps) to gain Agility XP alongside Stealth XP. Equip gear with low Noise and Conspicuousness.

Skill Trainers: Pay Groschen to Skill Trainers for Agility XP. Costs per rank are: Basics (100), Apprentice (500), Journeyman (1500), ? (5000). Trainers can be found in new areas or become available after quests. Some may offer free training after completing tasks.

Skill Books: Find Agility Skill Books in the region or purchase them from Scribes (e.g., in Troskowitz and Trosky Castle).

Best Agility Perks: Perk Points are awarded at every even Agility level (6, 8, 10, etc.). Prioritize these perks:

• Creeping Phantom: Increases movement speed while sneaking by 15% (rank 1) and 35% (rank 2), and increases Agility XP gain.

Nimble Stance: Decreases the stamina cost of dodging by 40%.

Finesse and Viper: Finesse increases slashing damage by 10% (both ranks). Viper increases piercing damage by 10% (both ranks). These are direct damage increases for sword-based weapons.

Dominant Hand: For one-handed weapon users without a shield, this perk reduces attack stamina cost by 20% and makes blocks less costly and more effective.
