What are Forgotten Power Skills
Forgotten Power Skills are universal passive abilities that any class can learn after Awakening.
They do not belong to a specific class and instead provide permanent stat bonuses to your character.
These skills scale significantly as their level increases and eventually become one of the most expensive progression systems in the late game.
Because of their impact on damage, defense, and character progression, they are considered a long-term investment for improving overall character power.

Cost of Upgrading Forgotten Power
Upgrading Forgotten Power skills requires several resources:
- Adena

- Forgotten Spellbooks
Early levels only require Adena, but starting from level 6 special spellbooks are needed.
Example early costs

10M Adena
Level 2
20M Adena
Level 3
40M Adena
Level 4
80M Adena
Level 5

From level 6 onward the system becomes much more expensive due to the spellbooks required.
Types of Spellbooks
To continue upgrading Forgotten Power skills you need specific spellbooks.
Forgotten Spellbook Chapter 1
Used for levels 6–10
Forgotten Spellbook Chapter 2
Used for levels 11–20
Forgotten Spellbook Chapter 3
Used for levels 21–30
These books can usually be obtained through:
- Einhasad Coin shop
- Instances (Innadril boxes within the daily 100 box limit)
- Events
GVR’s Advice
Forgotten Power is:
- A very powerful upgrade
- But also a very expensive one
A common mistake many players make is leveling Vitalizing first to gain more experience.
However, competitive players usually prioritize:
- Physical Attack
- Magic Attack
Increasing your damage allows you to:
- Farm faster
- Kill monsters faster
- Generate more resources
Which ultimately accelerates your progression.
Conclusion
Forgotten Power Skills are one of the most powerful progression systems in Lineage 2 GOD.
Understanding when and how to invest resources into them is essential to avoid wasting Adena and slowing down your character’s development.
