Coral Island: How to Get and Use Skill Points

Coral Island is a charming new farming simulator featuring a young individual who moves to the island to escape from the hectic city life. As the islanders settle on their new farm, they learn new skills by doing various tasks and activities.

There are eight different categories of skills in Coral Island, namely: Farming, Fishing, Ranching, Bug catching, Foraging, Mining, Diving, and Combat. However, not all of these skills are immediately unlocked when the player moves to Starlet Town. Similar to leveling up skills in Stardew Valley, players can level up their skills in Coral Island using Skill Points.

How to Earn Skill Points

Skill Points can be earned through performing certain tasks and activities and completing various quests. Each time players do a skill-related task, they earn experience. When they have gathered enough EXP, the Mastery system automatically levels up the relevant skill and awards the player with skill points.

Any skill points earned by the player are displayed on the summary screen at the end of the day when the islander goes to sleep. Some skill-specific activities players can do to gain EXP are listed in the table below.

Skill	Actions
Farming	Harvesting crops and fruit trees Tilling soil Watering tilled soil
Fishing	Catching fish in different water bodies
Foraging	Chopping down trees and stumps Scavenging items
Ranching	Petting farm animals Gathering animal produce
Diving	Cleaning up trash in the ocean Gathering items on the ocean floor
Combat	Killing monsters in the mines
Mining	Breaking rocks and boulders Mining ore nodes
Bug catching	Catching insects and ocean critters

The more times players do a specific action, the more EXP they will earn to enhance their skills.

How to Use Skill Points

To use their hard-earned skill points, players need to access the Mastery tab from the inventory menu. This menu can be opened by pressing C or I keys on the keyboard. Players can find all of their available skills a.k.a ‘masteries’ here.

All masteries in Coral Island further have six skills that can be unlocked as the player levels up. Each skill can be ‘mastered’ by using skill points. Currently, players can only unlock four skills in every available mastery. They need to spend their skill points carefully since skills cannot be changed once they have been chosen.

For instance, as players level up their Farming Mastery, they can unlock skills like Crop Express or Crop Price. The former skill gives a 10% chance for crops to grow faster, while the latter increases the selling price of all crops by 15%. It’s up to players to decide which perks they want to unlock.
