# Life Skills

Players can develop skills and attributes as they are playing within **Metalife**. They come in two categories. Each category has specific paths with which levels you can grow through the game.

The player can learn valuable skills. The players can use these skills to accomplish tasks, earn capital, improve/build assets, form alliances, and interact with different players.

## Paths

Each path has its primary stat. The amount the stat grows depends on the activities done and also the [players](https://metalife-1.gitbook.io/metalife/metaverse/players "mention")'s natural attributes. As the player hits certain thresholds, they gain levels in that stat.

Though each path focuses on one stat, [players](https://metalife-1.gitbook.io/metalife/metaverse/players "mention") can gain stats in multiple paths at once from games and events. Across both [**Personal**](#personal-path) and [**Occupational**](#work-skills).
