Enshrouded 1.0 puts its Warrior, Ranger and Mage areas on one shared skill map, and in the middle sits a group of skills that belong to none of them. These 19 nodes cover gathering tools, movement, Shroud survival, Merciless Attacks, Grappling Hook combat, fishing, reviving allies, the Rested buff and building.
Quick answer: The center holds 19 classless skills. Maxing all of them costs 50 skill points. The 12 Spark nodes around them cost 0 skill points.
The class areas have their own guides: every Warrior skill, every Ranger skill and every Mage skill, each with what it does. The eight combat skills added in 1.0 are in what all 8 new combat skills do.
Where the center skills sit on the Enshrouded skill tree
Open the Skills screen and look at the middle of the map. The center skills sit inside a ring of Spark nodes. The three class areas spread outward from that ring.
How center skill costs and ranks work
Hover any node to see its card. The card lists the skill name and whether it is Unlocked. Ranked nodes also show their level as Level x/3. Below that, the card shows the effect and the amount gained per level.
Skill points are spent on each rank, and the tables show the cost of a single rank. A skill’s listed effect is its rank 1 value; each subsequent rank adds the per-rank amount. For example, a 3-rank node that grants 10% per rank provides 30% at Level 3/3. Destroying Shroud Roots is one way to earn skill points; see all Shroud Root and Elixir Well locations.
Center skills with 3 ranks
Each of these nine skills costs 1 skill point per rank. Every rank raises the effect by a fixed amount.
| Skill | Cost per rank | Effect at rank 1 | Per rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fisherman’s Resolve | 1 skill point | Increases your Fishing Endurance by 5. Allows for extended battles with hooked fish. | 5 Fishing Endurance |
| Inner Fires | 1 skill point | Time in the Shroud is increased by 60 seconds, allowing you to explore for longer. | 60 seconds |
| Lumberjack | 1 skill point | Tools deal 10% increased damage against wood. This includes trees and wooden terrain. | 10% damage |
| Mason | 1 skill point | Tools deal 10% increased damage against stone. This includes stone terrain and gemstone veins. | 10% damage |
| Opportunity | 1 skill point | Increases the damage multiplier of Merciless Attacks by 40%. | 40% damage |
| Power Parry | 1 skill point | Your Parry Power is increased by 10%. | 10% Parry Power |
| Prospector | 1 skill point | Tools deal 10% increased damage against metal. This includes metal ore veins. | 10% damage |
| Saviour | 1 skill point | Time to revive an ally is reduced by 1 second. Default revive time is 6 seconds. | 1 second |
| Well Rested | 1 skill point | The base duration for the Rested buff is increased by 2 minutes. The Rested buff increases your Stamina Maximum and Regeneration significantly; it requires shelter, sitting or sleeping, as well as warmth from a heat source. The buff can be refreshed anywhere. Surrounding comfort items further increase its duration. | 2 minutes |
The three tool skills target different materials. Lumberjack handles timber and wood-based terrain. Mason works on gemstone veins and stone terrain. Prospector is for metal ore veins.
Fisherman’s Resolve gives you longer fights with hooked fish. Inner Fires lets you stay in the Shroud longer before the Shroud timer runs out. Saviour works against a default revive time of 6 seconds.
Well Rested extends the Rested buff, which greatly raises your Stamina Maximum and Regeneration. To get the buff, you need shelter, a place to sit or sleep, and warmth from a heat source. Once you have it, you can refresh it anywhere. Comfort items nearby add even more duration.
Center skills with 1 rank
These ten skills unlock in one purchase. Their costs range from 1 to 4 skill points.
| Skill | Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Airborne Architect | 3 skill points | Turn into a spark inside the base to move freely through the air in first person while building. |
| Double Jump | 2 skill points | Allows jumping a second time while airborne. Cost: 10 Stamina |
| Felling Axe Specialization | 2 skill points | Unlocks Special Abilities of Felling Axes: use the Special Ability after generating enough Focus. Focus is generated by attacking with any weapon type. |
| Giant Slayer Hook | 3 skill points | Use your Grappling Hook to pull yourself towards large enemies during combat. The cost of this skill scales with enemy level. The higher the enemy level, the more it costs. Base Cost: 30 Stamina |
| Grounding Hook | 4 skill points | Use your Grappling Hook to pull flying enemies towards you during combat. The cost of this skill scales with enemy level. The higher the enemy level, the more it costs. Base Cost: 30 Stamina |
| Merciless Attack | 2 skill points | Perform a Merciless Attack on an overpowered enemy to deal 500% damage. Attacking blocking enemies or parrying their attacks fills their Stun Bar until they become overpowered. Wands, Staves and Bows cannot perform Merciless Attacks. |
| Miner | 2 skill points | Mining resources has a 10% chance to grant one additional resource. |
| Pickaxe Specialization | 2 skill points | Unlocks Special Abilities of Pickaxes: use the Special Ability after generating enough Focus. Focus is generated by attacking with any weapon type. |
| Quality Gear | 1 skill point | Tools have a 20% chance to restore 1 durability on hit. |
| Snap | 2 skill points | Triggering a Merciless Attack restores 20% Mana. |
Felling Axe Specialization and Pickaxe Specialization work the same way. Each one lets you use that tool’s Special Ability once you build up enough Focus. Attacks with any weapon type generate Focus.
Each Grappling Hook skill has a base Stamina cost that changes with the enemy’s level, making every pull on a higher-level enemy more expensive. Giant Slayer Hook draws you toward large enemies. Grounding Hook drags flying enemies down to you.
Opportunity and Snap both work with Merciless Attacks. To overpower an enemy, fill its Stun Bar by hitting it while it blocks or by parrying its attacks.
Merciless Attacks are unavailable to Wands, Staves, and Bows.
Spark nodes around the center
Around the center skills sit 12 Spark nodes. Each costs 0 skill points, and its card reads: “Allows you to revive yourself at the Flame Altar.”
