MM5 Secondary Skills add capabilities to your party and there are 17 skills to find and purchase. Some skills benefit the character and some skills benefit the party as a whole. Check Building Strength to find more ways to develop your party.
All secondary skills are found in town, castles, or dungeons and sometimes they are free and sometimes they cost gold or gems. There is no limit to how many secondary skills that each character can learn. Thievery is not trainable. Astrologer, Prayer Master, and Prestidigitator are class specific.
Cloudside (CS) and Darkside (DS) locations are both included for convenience. Prices vary and some skills are only available on Cloudside.
