Path System
Choose a playstyle that matches how you like to experience MMOs.
In addition to your class, you choose a Path at character creation. Your Path gives you bonus content throughout the game: missions and rewards that cater to your preferred playstyle.
The mission kinds below advance on the server. Path abilities other than the Scientist's scanbot and the Settler's buff stations have not been checked, so none are listed.
