Character

Perk tree

The Keeper's five talent trees - Building, Smithing, Farming, Book writing and Anatomy - laid out like the in-game talent window. Inspiration points of a colour buy the nodes of that colour's tree.

Inspiration point

Each full inspiration bar of a colour gives one point. Every node costs one point of its colour.

Mastery upgrade

Raises that mastery by 1. Mastery sets which recipes can be crafted and, on star recipes, the quality of the result.

Perk

A permanent bonus. 14 of the 68 talent perks add +2 to +4 mastery for one kind of work.

The Building tree grows down from its first node. Every node costs one Building inspiration point and needs every node above it that it is connected to. 5 nodes raise Building mastery by 1 each; the other 11 are perks. Buying all 16 nodes takes 16 points, which is 74 notches of the Building inspiration bar.
