Fame Points & Skills
|
Skills give you benifits to the game. Handling skill is available to all players as its important in events or when
competing. Training skill gives you a bonus when training dogs, to training levels and stats. Business skill allows you
to make quite a bit of money and have larger cash prizes for events. There are several skills and each has its benefit, you
can currently have 200 points spent in skills.
How do you raise skills? First of all you have to get some fame. Fame can be obtained by competing in events or hosting them.
The better your dog does or the more people who enter your event, the more fame points you recieve. You can use these fame
points to add in to skills, by clicking the ribon Icon and inserting the number in the skill you wish to raise. To refund skill points,
you can use a negative number in that field.
There will soon be a lot more you can do with fame points, such as add benifits and special abilities to dogs.
