Skills/Focus
Focus is the skill of mental and physical concentration. It appears in your skills list and can be chosen when you create a character, but on New Bradford it currently has no effect: it doesn't speed up your stamina or mana regeneration, and it doesn't rise as you play.

Should I train it?
No. Points in Focus count toward your total skill cap of 700 without giving you anything back. If you picked it as a starting skill, set it to go down (click the arrow beside it in your skills list until it points down), and the points will gradually move into the skills you actually use as they rise.
Regenerating faster
If you're looking for faster recovery, these do work:
- Mana: Meditation and a high Intelligence speed up mana regeneration, and actively meditating doubles the rate. Avoid metal armor and shields, which slow it down.
- Stamina and health: these regenerate at a fixed rate. Refresh and heal potions, Healing with bandages help you recover between fights.
Trainers
- Mages will train you for gold: up to a third of their own skill, at most 42.0, for 1 gold per 0.1 points. Ask them (or use their context menu) to train the skill, then drop the gold on them. Since Focus does nothing right now, there's no reason to buy it.
