Rift Skill Tree
The skill tree (in the /rift menu) sells permanent upgrades, paid in Rift Marks, that apply every time you enter. There are 24 nodes across 7 branches, plus the Rift Prestige node at the bottom.
The branches
| Branch | What it does |
|---|---|
| Speed | Quickened Strike I/II then the Riftcharge notable — faster mining (up to +20%). |
| Points | Greed's Grasp I/II/III then Avarice — chances to double a block's points (Avarice also boosts Titan's Hoard payouts). |
| Enchants | Arcane Infusion I/II spawn your pickaxe with extra enchant levels; Exceptional Enchants lets some exceed their cap; Calcite Ascendance ascends maxed enchants to Calcite forms. |
| Cascade | Cascade Surge I/II then Echoing Detonator — bigger, more reliable Cascading Veins. |
| Bloodline | Bloodline Echo I/II then Ancestral Bloodline — your Rift pickaxe spawns with pickaxe-prestige stats and a perk. |
| Riftborn Set | Spawn wearing Riftborn-trimmed armour pieces, up to the Riftwalker Boots notable. |
| Mobility | Iron Gears → Coiled Springs → Wings of the Ancients, the chase node that grants flight inside the Rift. |
Unlocking nodes
Each node checks three things when you buy it: its prerequisite is owned, your Rift Prestige is high enough, and your player progression (prestige × 100 + level) meets the requirement. For example, a requirement of 403 means Player Prestige III and Level 103.
Node costs also scale up with your current Rift Prestige: cost = base × (1 + 0.5 × prestige). So a node costs 1.5× at Rift Prestige 1, 3.5× at P5, and 6× at P10.
Version history
v2.0.0
- Skill tree base costs were cut in half, so maxing the tree (and entering the prestige loop) is roughly twice as fast.
- Nodes now carry player-level requirements, and several notables gate behind a higher Rift Prestige (Exceptional Enchants P2, Echoing Detonator P2, Calcite Ascendance P3, Avarice P3, Ancestral Bloodline P4, Riftwalker Boots P5). Wings of the Ancients now requires Rift Prestige X + Level 103.
- Node costs now scale up each Rift Prestige (×(1 + 0.5 × prestige)): 1.5× at P1, 3.5× at P5, 6× at P10.
