    Structure

    • 76 base skill points at level 75. Expeditions add up to 15 more (91), per community guides.
    • Three branches, 16 skills each (48 total).
    • Each branch: a pick-1-of-2 choice at 10 points, then two final slots at 30 and 40 points sharing three capstones. The old tree gated its large nodes at 15 and 36 points.
    • A first capstone costs 31 points in its branch; a second costs 41. With 76 points you can afford two capstones in total.
    • Old share links still open in the planner and are converted automatically.

    Balance changes (official)

    • Fight or Flight: stamina gained increased by about 25% per rank.
    • Stubborn Mule: stamina regen values increased by about 33%.
    • Back on Your Feet: heals up to 40 instead of 30.
    • Known issue: Field Repair may be unavailable after unlocking. Restarting the game fixes it; Embark says a fix is in the works.
    • Embark expects more tweaks to existing and new skills based on how players use the tree.

    Other 2.0 changes that affect builds

    • Snap Hook range cut from 20 m to 18 m, durability use per hook doubled from 2% to 4%, power cost raised from 50 to 60, and no more back-to-back uses. Mobility skills matter more for traversal.
    • Completing quests and quest objectives now grants XP, so you reach 76 points faster.
