All 74 Ranger nodes in Enshrouded 1.0, including skill point costs, ranks, and the exact effect of each.

All 74 Ranger nodes in Enshrouded 1.0, including skill point costs, ranks, and the exact effect of each.

The Ranger side of the Enshrouded 1.0 skill tree covers bows, daggers, stealth, stamina, food and gliding. It has 74 nodes: 57 skills, plus 17 attribute nodes that raise Dexterity and Endurance. Some nodes are one-time unlocks. Others take three ranks, and the cost repeats for every rank you buy.

Quick answer: A fully ranked Ranger tree requires 218 skill points. The tables that follow show the cost of each node rank, its total rank count, and its effect.

The Ranger nodes share one tree with the Warrior and Mage nodes: see every Warrior skill and what it does and every Mage skill and what it does. The eight combat skills added in 1.0 have their own guide: what all 8 new combat skills do. The skills at the center of the tree, which belong to no class area, are in every skill at the center of the skill tree.


How Ranger skill costs and ranks work

Enshrouded uses a single shared skill map, and the Ranger nodes have their own area on it. Open the Skills screen and hover over any node to see its card. The card shows the skill name, whether it is Unlocked, the effect, and, for ranked nodes, the current level (for example, Level 1/3) along with the amount added at each level.

Unlocking a node costs skill points, and each additional rank costs that same amount. Nodes with three ranks improve with every level; for instance, a 10% bonus per rank becomes 30% at Level 3/3. Certain armor can push a node one level past its normal cap. In that case, the card displays “Level 2/3+1” and includes an Armor Contribution line. Destroying Shroud Roots is one way to earn skill points; see all Shroud Root and Elixir Well locations.


Ranger skills with 3 ranks

Each of these 27 Ranger skills has 3 ranks, and the cost is paid for every rank. The effect is the rank 1 value; each further rank adds the Per rank amount.
