Archetypes
Pick one of three archetypes in the first minutes of gameplay. Each archetype has three skill trees focusing on different weapons/spells.
You can preview some of the abilities of an archetype before you make the choice.
Levelling
- Archetype XP mirrors vanilla XP: whatever drops XP orbs also fills your archetype bar. The XP is copied, not spent — enchanting is untouched, and Mending repairs still count in full.
- Vanilla advancements permanently increase the archetype XP gain rate
- Resetting the archetype tree talent choices requires a Potion of Amnesia I, but this will return only 2/3 of your levels. Potion of Amnesia II will reset the archetype choice, but wipe out your archetype level.
The trees
Every archetype has 45 levels - 15 levels for each sub-tree.
Each tree adds active/passive abilities:
One ability from each archetype
Brawler — Bladestorm (Slayer tree): whirl for 3 seconds, striking everything within 3 blocks six times at x0.5 damage:
Cutpurse — Shadow Step (Assassin tree): blink behind a target up to 16 blocks away and strike with your dagger. 15s cooldown:
Seeker — Meteorite (Elementalist tree): spends your entire mana pool (100 minimum) — damage, blast radius and knockback all scale with the mana spent:
Spells have no cooldown and spend mana. The pool starts at 100 and regenerates slowly, but can be sped up using new potions of mana regeneration or mana restore:
Holding a melee or ranged weapon blocks mana regeneration:
Weapons
- Greatswords (7 tiers) — strictly two-handed: the offhand is dead weight while you carry one.
- Daggers (7 tiers) — fast and light, built for the Assassin's openers.
- Wands (5) — the Seeker's cast tools.
All tuned to sit at or under vanilla sword DPS — they are playstyles, not upgrades.
Crafted like their vanilla cousins — and the recipes appear in the recipe book as soon as you pick up the material:
Plays well with Skill Proficiencies
Run it alongside Skill Proficiencies and the Seeker's spellcasting registers as a proper skill in its skills screen. Neither mod requires the other.
