Assassin's Creed: Mirage ditches the role-playing game formula of the three previous entries, which means that there is no XP system or levels for your character and enemies. This stripped-back approach means earning Skill Points in the game is a little different than many players may be used to. So, take a look at how to get Skill Points in AC Mirage.
How can you get Skill Points in Assassin's Creed: Mirage?
There are three main ways to get Skill Points in Assassin's Creed: Mirage: completing main missions, completing contracts, and finding Lost Books.
As the game has no XP system or numerical progression system, you only earn Skill Points for meeting these specific criteria, instead of accumulating them as you play.
When you receive a Skill Point in the game, the notification will appear in the top-middle of the screen, before remaining in the top-right until they are used to gain new skills.
Main missions
It's worth noting that not all main missions will offer Skill Points in the game. However, most major missions (like big assassination targets) do give you Skill Points after finishing them.
There's no way to know this before doing a mission, but you'll notice a general pattern as you play through the game.
