[2020] Skill tree not unlocking

Could you please post a screenshot?

So, the way mastery classes work in Last Epoch is that you have access to the bottom half of all three, and can unlock access to the entirety of a single mastery class by completing a quest available in the End of Time town hub. (This choice is permanent.)

As you don’t appear to have chosen the Paladin (or any other) mastery class, the game not allowing you to spend points in passives located higher up in the Paladin mastery class.

I’ve just looked at this in-game, and the game isn’t currently communicating this very well. I’ll speak with the team about ways of clarifying this, however I don’t think we’d be able to make and test any changes in time for the changes to be included in our next update.`

 
Edit: The numbers for each class are intended to track how many points have been spent in that class, however they appear to instead be showing how high up that class you have unlocked access to. I’ll add this to our issue tracker so it can be fixed in a future patch.

I think you should be able to perform it on old characters, though I haven’t personally tried doing so.

Here’s how you would check;

• Go to the End of Time town hub.
• Go up the ramp (there is a stairs icon on the mini map).
• Have your character turn left, and speak with the Forgotten Knight.
• If she doesn’t offer the The Power of Mastery quest, talk to Elder Gaspar.
• Complete any available conversations with Elder Gaspar, talk to Forgotten Knight again.
