How to learn Fate's Favour
The following manual supplies the book unlock for ranks marked “Manual unlock” in the rank table. Skill points and time are spent when you purchase the rank. See the skill book guide for manual requirements and planning examples.
Critical chance first, critical damage at rank 4
Fate's Favour is a Swordmastery passive perk. Its first three ranks list Weapon Critical Hit chances of 6%, 12% and 18%; rank 4 adds +25% Weapon Critical Damage. Critical chance controls how often a weapon critical occurs, while critical damage changes its payoff.
Stinging Blade is the prerequisite. Ranks 1 and 2 do not need a manual, but ranks 3 and 4 require Fate’s Favour Manual. All four ranks cost five skill points and four time segments, so check the book requirement before saving for the later upgrades.
Compare the listed bonuses with equipment that also raises critical chance or damage, then use the planner to budget only the ranks you still need.
