How Many Skill Points in Enshrouded 1.0?

Where skill points come from

Enshrouded has three sources of skill points. All numbers on this page come from the 1.0 game files (build 1267041).

• Levels: 2 points for every level after 1. Level 50 is the 1.0 cap, so that's 98 points.
• Shroud Roots: 1 point each. There are 60, worth 60 points.
• Elixir Wells: 3 points each. There are 18, worth 54 points.

That adds up to 98 + 60 + 54 = 212. More than half of your points come from exploring, not from levels.

Skill points from levels

Points from leveling alone, before any Roots or Wells:

Shroud Roots and Elixir Wells by biome

The game data lists how many points each biome holds and how many point sources it has. Since a Root is worth 1 and a Well 3, that gives the split:

Cinder's Cradle, the new 1.0 biome, has Shroud Roots only. The 1.0 changelog says it "brings 12 new Shroud Roots", and that the new areas near the edge of the world in Springlands, Blackmire and the Kindlewastes have "6 additional Shroud Roots".

Skill points by level and explored biomes

Find your level in the left column and the number of biomes you have fully cleared (in the order above). The cell is your total skill points:

Our build guides use three of these as stages:

• Levels 1–15: 65 points with 2 biomes explored
• Levels 16–35: 140 points with 4 biomes explored
• Levels 36–50: 212 points with 7 biomes explored

Not sure how many Roots you have? Your in-game skill tree shows the exact total. Type it into the skill planner under Explored biomes and it will use your real budget.

What 212 skill points can buy

The 1.0 tree has 231 nodes and costs 675 points to fill, so even a fully explored character can afford about 31% of it:

Filling the Mage or Ranger area alone takes more than your whole budget. That's why every one of our 1.0 builds goes deep in one area and borrows a few nodes from a neighbour. The skill tree guide explains the archetypes inside each area.

Why you might have fewer than 212

• Missed Shroud Roots. 1.0 added Roots in new areas at the edge of the map, which are easy to skip.
• Uncleansed Elixir Wells. Each one is 3 points, so one missed Well costs as much as three Roots.
• Not level 50 yet. Each level is 2 points.

Respecs don't cost points: a reset at a Flame Altar refunds everything for 1 Rune per spent point. See how to respec.
