'''Survival''' is a skill that everyone receives. [[Adventurers]] automatically learn Survival [[abilities]] as they gain [[level|levels]] of experience. Survival deals with outdoors issues as well as general survival issues. Survival abilities include swimming, climbing trees, attacking dimensional [[wormholes]], healing your limbs by force of will alone, and many other useful abilities.
 
Unlike other abilities, Survival is tied to an Adventurer's [[level]]<sup>[[#ref1|1]]</sup>. Transcendence is achieved upon reaching level 80.
 
The skill of '''Survival''' is a general skill and available to all [[class|classes]].
