    Endless Breeze (Skill book costs 2 Primordial Blood)

    Cascaded Thunder (Skill book costs 8 Primordial Blood)

    Abolute Virtue (Skill book costs 20 Primordial Blood)

    You need the skill book, plus 100,000 coins, to learn each new level of the skills, plus be at the requisite Arcane or Mirage Sky level for the skill level. Endless Breeze is supposed to increase skill damage by 2% per level, but there has been a report that it only increases it by 1%. Cascaded Thunder is supposed to increase Crit Rate by 1% per level. Absolute Virtue is supposed to increase defenses by 5% per level.

    In my testing I did notice a 2% increase from Endless Breeze, but only a 6% increase in my pdef/mdef from Absolute Virtue.

    similar but this is very likely due to gear having +% def values already, i assume the passive goes from base gear values

    Endless Breeze gave me 2% skill dmg per level, at lv4 (arcane sky X which i assume is max u can get at 1st rebirth) its a total of 8%.

    it might be that the passives give different values based on class as opposed to certain %s altogether.

    Run the test yourself.
    If you have any skill that you can use unarmed. So it removes any variable in the attack range. Will be better.
    Else your going to need to do 1000 attacks to get a accurate average.

    Do the base skill damage to the damage test mob.
    Then go level up the skill.
    rerun the damage test and note the difference in damage.

    Unarmed autoattack on level 1 mob (Horrorbite): 3050 damage
    Unarmed sage consume spirit (does base physical attack at cost of 10% of current health) on level 1 mob (Horrorbite) with level 4 Endless Breeze (8% skill damage boost): 3063 damage
    Ratio: 1.0698%, essentially a 7% boost.

    try the same base skill before and after levelng the skill.
    so that the only variable is the passive skill increase

    I've also run the same tests on an archer, a barb, and a wizard. Same cards, unarmed, same skill, on the same mob, when I had the level 1 endless breeze (says 2%)

    Upgraded to level 2 (says 4%), yet using all of the above; same buffs, mob, etc - same everything. 1% increase. Not that I'm complaining, it's only 2 bloods per level, but is one of the more serious errors.
