How to Get and Use Skill Points in Enshrouded: Back to Shroud Update
Ready to dive back into the world of Enshrouded with the Back to Shroud Update? If you're eager to boost your character's abilities and dominate the sandbox action game, you've got to know how to rack up those precious Skill Points. Let's get into the nitty-gritty of leveling up, skill trees, and making the most of your in-game adventures!
Earning Skill Points in Enshrouded
The key to amassing Skill Points in Enshrouded is all about XP. You get XP from a variety of activities – from battling fierce enemies and wild animals to taking on intimidating bosses and even mining. As you journey through the game, each of these actions contributes to your XP pool, which in turn, grants you Skill Points. So, keep those weapons sharp and your pickaxe ready because every swing, shot, or strike is bringing you closer to unlocking new skills.
Navigating the Skill Tree
When you open the Skill Tree by pressing ‘H’, you’ll see a circular diagram representing these 12 main paths, each splintering into more specific sub-paths. Abilities like double jumping or gliding can be unlocked depending on your chosen class and sub-path. Mix and match to tailor your character’s skills to your preferred play style.
Enshrouded’s skill tree is as expansive as it is exciting, with 12 main class paths and a web of sub-paths branching out. Each main class – whether it's Warrior, Ranger, Assassin, or Wizard – comes with its own set of attributes and abilities. For instance, if you're rolling with the Warrior class, you’ll find yourself boosting Constitution and Strength. Dive deeper, and you'll discover paths like the Tank or Barbarian, each with their unique flair and skillset.
Resetting Your Skill Points to Select Others
Sometimes, the skills you picked initially might not fit your evolving playstyle or new strategies you want to try. Luckily, Enshrouded offers a straightforward way to reset your Skill Points and explore different paths. Here’s how you can do it:
- Gather Runes by killing enemies in Enshrouded and completing the quests.
2. Activate the Flame Altar: Interact with the Flame Altar to access its menu by pressing ‘E’. You'll see several options, including the one to reset your Skill Points.
3. Choose Reset Skill Points: Select the “Reset Skill Points” option. This action will refund all the Skill Points you’ve previously allocated, giving you a clean slate.
4. Refund Skill Points: Once reset, you can start reallocating your Skill Points to different paths or abilities. You need to gather runes to activate this feature.
Note: Before you hit the reset button, consider taking a screenshot of your current skill setup. This can help you remember your previous build if you decide to return to it later. Unfortunately, there is no way to do it in-game automatically.
6. Experiment and Adapt: With your Skill Points refunded, feel free to experiment with new combinations. The freedom to switch paths and abilities allows you to adapt to different challenges and play styles, keeping the game fresh and engaging.
Earning and Managing Skill Points
Skill Points in Enshrouded are essential for unlocking both active and passive abilities in the Skill Tree. You can earn them in three main ways: leveling up, where you gain 2 Skill Points per level (up to 48 Skill Points from 24 levels); completing Shroud Roots, which grant 1 Skill Point each (27 Shroud Roots can provide 27 Skill Points); and clearing Elixir Wells, which give you 3 Skill Points per well (13 Elixir Wells result in 39 Skill Points).
Keep in mind that each Shroud Root and Elixir Well can only be used once per server cycle, even if the world respawns. The maximum Skill Points you can accumulate is 114, combining the totals from leveling, Shroud Roots, and Elixir Wells. Note that prior to the Hollow Halls update, players could receive up to 114 Skill Points due to game errors, and the Melodies of The Mire update introduced three additional Shroud Roots.
Getting Skill Points in Enshrouded is all about staying active, exploring, and making the most of every opportunity to earn XP. Whether you're fighting, mining, or discovering hidden secrets, each action contributes to leveling up your character and unlocking new skills. And if you want to experiment with different builds, don’t forget that resetting your Skill Points is just a Flame Altar away.
