Respec

Abbreviation for respecify or respecification. Also known as /respec.

• Combat Upgrade: Once a character is played after the Combat Upgrade, they will have a chance to move around their current skills. This gives everyone a chance to change their template if they no longer like a profession. Players will be able to respec once every 12 hours for the first 2 after accessing their character post-CU. The respec system is set up based on how hard it is to get skill, not necessarily their skill point value; so that elite skills are twice as valuable as skills in starting professions. Publish 18 will bring one last, final Token Respec for all characters made before the publish. See Publish 18 for details.

• New Game Enhancements: When players first logged in following the implementation of Publish 25, they were asked to choose from their current profession to one of the 9 Iconic Professions. In addition, all players were provided with a device called a Character Respec Device, which would allow them to change their profession ten more times.

This creates the effect of, well, a helicopter.
