Overview

Icon vip.png Requires a VIP subscription.

Lore Slot Abilities are powers placed in the Lore Slot of the Incarnate System. The Lore Slot Abilities are Click Powers which summon one or more controllable pets to your side at -1 to your level, but inherit any Level Shift or Incarnate Shift you possess. Each tree begins with a Common Lore ability which can then be upgraded into the Uncommon Core Lore or Radial Lore variants, available as of Issue 20. With Issue 20.5 12 additional lore sets have been implemented.

A purchase of the Going Rogue expansion is required for players to access the Incarnate System.
