Survival

Purify water, discover new places and resource sites, gather new resources, and recover at campfires after meaningful victories. Discoveries are recorded in Quests & Lore. Prepare simple meals at a burning fire from Survival 5, Rope and Bowstring from 15, selected draughts at a burning fire from 25, and selected Engineering recipes on site from 35. No carried mortar or tool roll is required; each recipe retains its own skill and ingredient requirements. Its skill tree supports water purification, field work and packed supplies.

Skill points and talent ranks

Gain one skill point for every level above 1, kept separately for this skill. Each skill tree has six branches and three synergy nodes. Tier I rank requirements are levels 2–6 and cost 1 point per rank; tier II requires levels 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 and costs 2 points per rank; tier III requires 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90 and costs 4 points per rank. A child node requires rank 3 in its parent. Synergies require level 35, rank 3 in both parents and 4 points; each adds two power to both linked original branches. Branch power has a level-dependent cap, reaching 35 at level 90. These are choices inside your earned budget, not a way to purchase every branch at once.
