Outward: How to Get Skill Points

How to Get Skill Points in Outward

Outward, the recently released survival RPG, gives you the opportunity to build a character with skills that match your playstyle. However, the skill system in the game is pretty complicated. Here’s everything you need to know about how to get skill points in Outward.

How Skills Work in Outward

Skills are actually broken down in three categories: Active Skills, Passives, and Breakthrough Skills. Active skills are to do with weapons and attacks in the game and can be bought from certain vendors using silver.

Passives can be bought from Skill Teachers and offer bonuses such as increased mana or improvements to your defense against certain weather types.

Breakthroughs are where skill points come in though. While also bought from Skill Vendors in Outward, you need Breakthrough Skill Points to buy them.

Breakthrough Skills are pretty powerful though, granting boosts like an increase of 15 to your Mana, Health, and Stamina all at once. Some of the other Passives in the game are also locked until you unlock the Breakthrough in that skill tree, meaning that some Passives will forever remain locked.

Getting Skill Points

There’s not actually any way to get additional Points in Outward. Every character gets three to spend on Breakthrough skills (alongside the 500 silver you need for each skill), and that’s it.

You simply need to choose wisely which Breakthroughs you spend those points on because you cannot change your mind or switch skills. Be sure to pick the ones that best fit your playstyle and character. If you want to try them all, you’ll have to start the game again with a new character.

That’s everything you need to know about how to get skill points in Outward. For more tips and tricks on the game, be sure to search for Twinfinite.
