Skill Trees | MMO Skill Tree Docs

Overview

Each skill has a reward tree with 10 tiers unlocked at level milestones. As you level up, you can claim permanent bonuses.

Tiers, milestone levels, and every claimable reward on the tree are edited here.

Owner config only

Skill-tree tiers and rewards are NOT a content-pack-authorable asset type. A content pack can reference the reward types the tree grants (for example an ability a pack ships still shows up as an ABILITY_UNLOCK option), but it cannot add or change a skill-tree node itself - that lives entirely in mods/mmoskilltree/skill-tree.json on the server owner's side.

What the tree grants is increasingly pack content, though: a pack can ship the ability an ABILITY_UNLOCK node points at, the skill a tier belongs to, or the mastery school track a node's reward feeds into. Gear can grant many of the same stats a tree node grants without touching the tree at all - see Gear Stats.

Milestone Levels

Tier	Level	Pick
1	5	1
2	10	1
3	15	1
4	20	1
5	30	2
6	40	2
7	50	2
8	65	2
9	80	3
10	100	3

These are the shipped default tiers and milestones, edited in mods/mmoskilltree/skill-tree.json.

How to Claim Rewards

Open /xp and click "View Tree" on any skill card
Navigate to your skill using the arrow buttons
Look for AVAILABLE tiers (orange status)
Click on a reward to claim it
For multi-select tiers, claim the required number of rewards

Tier Status

LOCKED - Level requirement not met
AVAILABLE - Ready to claim rewards
CLAIMED - All required rewards claimed

Resetting Rewards

Click the RESET button on the skill tree page to clear all claimed rewards for that skill and choose again. This is useful for respeccing your build.

Mana System

Players start with 0 mana - it must be earned through skill tree choices:

Skill	Mana Potential	Notes
Magic	390+	The spellcaster's path - wands and spellbooks
Staves	345+	THE melee mana class - bo staff masters
Crafting	~300	Moderate mana for enchanters
Block/Harvesting	115-180	Low-to-moderate mana for survivability
Gathering	25-75	Fishing offers the most of the gathering skills
Acrobatics/Building	25-95	Modest, not zero - Acrobatics offers more than Building
Other Physical Combat	0-35	Minimal - warriors use steel (Axes offers none)

Mana potential per skill is also a shipped default read from mods/mmoskilltree/skill-tree.json.

Reward Stacking

Rewards from different tiers and skills stack:

Additive stacking for most stats (health, damage, etc.)
Multiplicative stacking for XP bonuses
Percentage reductions capped at 90% by default (defense, fall damage) - a server can retune the ceiling in ability-clamps.json

School Resistance nodes grant permanent resistance to one of the 9 damage schools (Fire, Ice, Lightning, Water, Arcane, Void, Poison, Life, Physical) - see the full table on Active Abilities. Resistance from multiple claimed nodes stacks, survives relogging and changing worlds, and is removed on a tree respec or full reset. See the School Resistance entry on the Reward Types page for the full reward-type reference.
