## Respec

Abbreviation for respecify or respecification. Also known as /respec.

* **Combat Upgrade:** Once a character is played after the Combat Upgrade, they will have a chance to move around their current skills. This gives everyone a chance to change their template if they no longer like a profession. Players will be able to respec once every 12 hours for the first 2 after accessing their character post-CU. The respec system is set up based on how hard it is to get skill, not necessarily their skill point value; so that elite skills are twice as valuable as skills in starting professions. Publish 18 will bring one last, final Token Respec for **all** characters made before the publish. See Publish 18 for details.

* **New Game Enhancements:** When players first logged in following the implementation of Publish 25, they were asked to choose from their current profession to one of the 9 Iconic Professions. In addition, all players were provided with a device called a Character Respec Device, which would allow them to change their profession ten more times.
