What is the Expertise System?
The overall goal of the system is to offer new and exciting choices for players to make about the development of their characters. These choices offer players the chance to further customize their character creating more diversity between characters of the same profession and give the player an additional goal when leveling.
At level 10, a player earns five Expertise points and then earns 1 point every two levels up to a maximum of forty-five points at level 90.
Once a player reaches level 10, they can activate the Expertise interface (it will appear on the Main Menu) and begin allocating their points over the two trees available to their profession.
Allocating Expertise points will do one of two things for a character. They will either modify an existing ability, such as increasing damage done, or they will unlock new abilities or series of abilities.
The two Jedi trees are General and Path. The General tree provides a variety of choices designed to enhance aspects that all Jedi share. The Path tree provides choices between the light and dark side that give appropriately themed abilities.
