In order for players to increase their Rank for a Stance/Ammunition, they must kill monsters while having the codex in their backpack.The Rank of a Stance/Ammunition will impact how powerful the effect it provides to the player is.For each Stance/Ammunition, players have a Rank that ranges from 0-7, with their current Rank depicted by how many Repaired Weapon Icons are displayed (Broken Weapon Icons indicates ranks they have not yet reached or cannot based on their skills).Players can, however, gain the benefits from Stances/Finishers from a Parry codex while at the same time also receiving the benefits from another Weapon codex (if they are wielding the correct weapon for it).a player holding a Viking Sword will only gain bonuses from a Swordsmanship Codex, and not a Fencing Codex) Players are allowed to own multiple Codices simultaneously, however they will only actively gain the benefits of Stances and Finishers from a Weapon Codex if they are currently wielding a weapon matching that codex's skill when making attacks (i.e.Players can switch between Stances/Ammunition as often as they like, however each change costs the player 3 Mana.Players can Single-Click their Codex in their backpack to see which Stance/Ammunition and Finisher they currently have Activated for that skill.Players can click the Large Button next to each Stance/Ammunition to Activate it (which will make it appear the color green in the menu page).On the top half of the Profile page, players will see 5 difference Stances listed (or in the case of Archery, Ammunition types).By Double-Clicking a Codex, players can launch their Codex Profile menu for that skill for the character.Each Profile for a character stores data on Stances (Fencing, Macing, Swordsmanship, Wrestling, Parrying), Ammunition (Archery), as well as data as Finisher Tiers for the character.

Like the Summoner's Tome or a Bard Codex, players can never "lose" their Codex Profile: the data is permanently saved to the player's character, the codex item just allows players to gain xp, activate and use Stances/Ammunition and Finishers.Every individual character has what is referred to as a "Codex Profile" that is permanently stored for them for each codex.10 Codex Stances/Ammunitions and Finishers.
