Don’t Starve Together – Skill Trees Guide

Guide to Skill Trees

Alignment explanation

Upon becoming Shadow or Lunar aligned (an option which all characters with a Skill Tree have access to, bar ones that can only align themselves with one of the two – at the time of writing, this only applies to Wormwood.), characters will deal 10% extra damage to enemies of the opposite alignment and take 10% less damage from enemies of the allied alignment (A Shadow Aligned character, for instance, deals 10% extra damage to Lunar mobs and takes 10% less damage from Shadow mobs).

Wilson

Wilson’s skill tree is split into 4 ‘specializations’: Torch, Alchemy, Beard and Affinity. Only one of the two Affinity skills may be chosen.

Torch

• Torch Longevity I/II/III – Torches, when held by Wilson, will last 16%/32%/50% longer.
• Torch Range I/II/III – Torches, when held by Wilson, will emit 3/4/5 ‘units’ of brightness (for comparison, a torch’s default brightness is that of 2 units).
• Torch Toss (Requires 3 other Torch skills to be previously unlocked) – Wilson can ‘toss’ a torch to the cursor’s location, which emits light after landing (similarly to a lantern).

Alchemy

All mentions of ‘transmutation’ are unlockable crafting recipes, ‘transforming’ the materials into the finished product.

• Transmutation – Transform 3 Twigs into 1  Log & Transform 1 Log into 3 Twigs.

• Beard Growth III – Reduces Wilson’s beard growth timer to 2/5/10 days for the short, long and magnificent stages, respectively, from the default growth timer of 4/8/16 days.

Beard Hair storage (Requires at least 3 other Beard skills to be previously unlocked) – Your beard adds 1/2/3 (for a short, long or magnificent beard, respectively) additional storage slots to your inventory, in which only food can be stashed.

Affinity

Both Affinity perks act as Alchemy perks, as in, they provide access to ‘transmutation’ recipes.

The affinity skills are mutually exclusive as they require you not to opt into the opposite affinity in order to unlock them. In addition, you must have defeated the Ancient Fuelweaver for Shadow Affinity (‘Shadow Courtier’) or the Celestial Champion for Lunar Affinity (‘Lunar Innovator’), as well as having learned at least 12 other skills before unlocking either affinity perk.

Shadow Courtier – Transform 1 Dreadstone into 2 Pure Horror & Transform 3 Pure Horror into 1 Dreadstone & transform 1 Pure Horror into 2 Nightmare Fuel. Upon unlocking, Wilson will become Shadow Aligned.

Lunar Innovator – Transform 3 Infused Moon Shards into 1 Pure Brilliance & Transform 1 Pure Brilliance into 2 Infused Moon Shards. Upon unlocking, Wilson will become Lunar Aligned.

Wormwood

Wormwood’s skill tree is split between 6 ‘branches’: Blooming, Farming/Brambles, Mushrooms/Spores, Plant Crafting, Lunar Cultivator, and Lunar Guardian. It is worth noting that, unlike all other characters this far, Wormwood has no Shadow affinity, being presented with two different options of Lunar affinity instead.

Lunar Cultivator and Guardian both require you to defeat Celestial Champion before unlocking them. Lunar Cultivator requires you have 5 skills in the ‘left branches’ (Plant Crafting and Mushrooms/Spores), whereas Lunar Guardian requires you have 5 skills in the ‘right branches’ (Blooming and Farming/Brambles).

The starting skill is:

Seed Sleuth – Wormwood can identify planted seeds to see what they’ll grow into.

Blooming

• Growth Spurt I/II – Wormwood will be in Stage 1 and 2 of blooming for 90%/75% of the normal duration, quickening how fast he gets to full bloom.
  
  Shade Plant – Wormwood’s full bloom will provide 180 points of summer insulation, compared to the 60 it provides without this skill.
• Flower Power – Formula nutrients which extend and trigger Wormwood’s blooming are now 30% stronger, further extending blooming or accelerating the stages of bloom.
• Photosynthesis – While in full bloom and exposed to sunlight, Wormwood regenerates 1 health every 10 seconds.

Farming/Brambles

• Farmhand – In full bloom, Wormwood will automatically tend to farm crops within a 1.5 tile radius (compared to the default radius of 1 tile without this perk). Wormwood will also harvest farm crops faster regardless of bloom.
• Compost Care – Wormwood fertilizes himself with Compost Wraps ~60% faster.
• Bee Kind – Killer Bees won’t attack Wormwood, nor leave their hive (in both cases, unless provoked). This applies to bee boxes as well. Furthermore, Butterflies will not fly away from Wormwood.

• Bramble Trap Specialist – Wormwood, in full bloom, will automatically reset his Bramble Traps within a 1.5 tile radius every 3 seconds. Bramble Traps won’t hurt other players.
• Bramble Husk Specialist – Whenever Wormwood lands 3 hits onto an enemy without taking damage with a Bramble Husk equipped, the Bramble Husk’s thorns effect will activate.

Plants Crafting

Each of the following will unlock a crafting recipe for Wormwood to create the namesake plant:

• Sapling Crafting – 5 twigs, 5 hp;
  • Crafts result in lunar saplings as opposed to regular ones, but the difference is purely cosmetic.
• Berry Bush Crafting – 3 rot, 8 juicy berries, 10 hp;
  • Wormwood gets the option to craft either regular berry bushes or ‘leafy’ berry bushes, as seen in pig villages. Once again, the difference is purely cosmetic.
• Juicy Berry Bush Crafting – 3 rot, 8 berries, 10 hp;
• Monkeytail Crafting – 3 bananas, 4 reeds, 15 hp;
• Lureplant Crafting – 2 compost wraps, 5 leafy meat, 25 hp.

Mushrooms

Mushroom Mastery I/II – Mushrooms planted in a mushroom planter by Wormwood grow 10%/20% faster (3.38 days/3 days compared to the base time of 3.75 days).

Mushroom Multiplier – When Wormwood places a mushroom into a planter, it will act as though a spore was planted (higher maximum yield of 6 and can produce a spore upon reaching the final stage.

Poor Sap – Wormwood can make the Syrup of Ipecaca for 1 Red Cap, 1 Honey and 1 Rot. Upon feeding a pigman or beefalo the syrup, the mob will panic, producing 1 manure and taking 5 damage every 3 seconds for a total of 15 manure. When eaten, it deals red cap damage (20 damage for pigmen, 80 for beefalo).

Moon Shroom Cloud – Wormwood may plant Moon Shrooms in mushroom planters. Upon eating a raw Moon Shroom, Wormwood will produce a spore cloud (similar to a Nap Sack’s) which will cause mobs within it to fall asleep. Wormwood does not get drowsy from consuming raw Moon Shrooms.

Lunar Cultivator

Lunar Cultivator revolves around making minions for Wormwood. They will follow for a set period of time before they revert back to what they once were (Carrot, Light Bulb, Dragon Fruit). Force-attacking a minion will despawn it.

Lunar Cultivator I – For 1 carrot and 5 hp, Wormwood can make a Carrat friend who follows him for 3 days. The Carrat will pick up any food found on the ground and bring it directly into your inventory, should you have available slots. You can have up to 4 Carrats at a time

Lunar Cultivator 2 – For 1 light bulb and 10 hp, Wormwood can make a Bulbous Lightbug friend who follows him for 2.5 days. The light bug will act as though you have one in your inventory and circle around you as light. You can have up to 6 Bulbous Lightbugs at a time. Each new Bulbous Lightbug causes all surrounding ones to generate more light.

Lunar Cultivator 3 – For 1 dragon fruit and 25 hp, Wormwood can make a Saladmander friend who follows him for 2 days. The salamander will be unripe and have 600 hp, dealing 40 attack damage. It will regenerate 5 health every 2.5 seconds. Wormwood can have a maximum of 2 Saladmanders. When both are active they have 900 hp instead.

Lunar Guardian

Lunar Guardian I – When Wormwood is attacked while wearing Brightshade Armor (the chest piece), a vine will ensnare the target for ~6 seconds, prohibiting its movement. Furthermore, Wormwood can craft the Brambleshade armor with a Brightshade Armor and Bramble Husk. The Brambleshade armor acts as a Brightshade Armor in terms of durability and its thorn effect, but has a slightly stronger secondary thorns effect of the Bramble Husk as well (22.7 damage + 5 planar damage). The Brambleshade armor is also affected by Bramble Husk Specialist.

Lunar Guardian II – Whenever Wormwood attacks with a Brightshade weapon, a Brightshade vine has a 20% chance to spawn and deals 70 physical damage + 15 planar damage to Wormwood’s target.
‘Brightshade weapons’ refers to the Brightshade Sword, Brightshade Smasher and Brightshade Shoevel;

Upon unlocking either Lunar Guardian I or Lunar Cultivator I, Wormwood will become lunar aligned

Wolfgang

Wolfgang’s skills are classified as: Chores, Training, Might and his affinity perks

Chores

Leg Day – Normal Wolfgang has a 10% speed boost

Dumbbell Developer – Wolfgang can now craft the Thermbell (12 rocks, 1 pickaxe, 4 flint), Firebell and Icebell (2 thulecite, 1 red/blue gem respectively, 1 twig).

The ice and fire bells give 5 mightiness at all stages and deal 42.5 damage normally. They have 33 uses (334 lifting uses). When thrown, the ice bell will create an AOE freeze equal to 2 ice staff hits, whereas the fire bell will create multiple fires similar to a fire hound that dies.

Werebeaver Mastery (requires previous three perks taken) – Werebeaver gets a tail slap that does work on entities within a 1.5 tile radius, similar to Wagstaff’s Thumper from DS (doesn’t instantly destroy things such as tall trees however). Enemies caught in it will receive 27.2 damage per ring of damage they’re caught in (rings can overlap similar to bearger’s AOE move). The tail slap uses up 5 points of the weremeter.

Weremoose 

The Weremoose I – Weremoose will receive only 15% of its usual grogginess when slamming into a structure with its charge and its walk speed will be that of a regular character (previously it was 90% of a character’s regular speed)

Affinity

Shadow Chanteuse – Allows Wigfrid to craft the Dark Lament for 1 papyrus, 1 feather pencil, and 3 pure horror. Creates an aura around Wigfrid that grants players the equivalent of the shadow aligned tag (10% bonus damage to lunar mobs, 10% damage reduced by shadow mobs) provided that they don’t have the tag already, + a bonus 5% damage dealt to lunar mobs and 10% damage reduced by shadow aligned mobs.

Winona

Winona’s skill tree can be divided into 3 ‘shelves’ or tiers. The second tier requires 3 from the previous one to be taken first, and the third tier requires 6 from the previous ones (in total) to be taken. There are other requirements which will be discussed in their respective shelves.

Shelf 3 can be divided into Charlie perks and Wagstaff perks.

Shelf 1

Portability – Winona will be able to dismantle her machines (Catapults, Spotlights, and both types of generator) to pick them up and place them elsewhere. She can also craft a Handy Remote for 1 Electrical Doodad in order to activate her catapults if they’re in sleep mode. The remote has 100 uses. Generators and G.E.M.erators maintain their charge when picked up.

Quick Charge – Gadgets placed next to either type of generator recharge 100% faster. The handy remote can be recharged at the station, alongside several items

Winona can obtain later on her skill tree. Those items will be elaborated on within their sections.

Energy-Saver – Both types of generator no longer consume energy whilst they’re not in use, and machines connected to Generators (not G.E.M.erators) will not consume energy while in sleep mode.

Spacious Spotlight – Winona’s Spotlight’s light radius will increase from 1.25 tiles to 2 tiles.

Hotlight – Winona’s Spotlight’s light generates warmth. This warmth is enough to prevent freezing in winter and can heat up thermal stones.

Shelf 2

Rapid-Fire I/II/III – Catapults will have their rate of fire increased by 5/10/20%

Explosive Volley I/II/III – The catapults’ AOE radius is increased by 25/50/100%

Greater Generator I/II/III – Boosts the fuel efficiency on both types of generator by 25/50/100%.

Precise Targeting (requires Portability) – Allows Winona to use her Handy Remote to command catapults to fire on a specific spot. Using it repeatedly will ‘queue’ the commands, which catapults will execute in order.

Barrage (requires Portability) – Allows Winona to grant nearby catapults a 50% fire rate buff for 20 seconds, using her Handy Remote.

Shelf 3

Charlie’s Perks

Nightmare Fuel/Pure Horror Generator – Nightmare Fuel/Pure Horror can be used in the Generator (not the G.E.M.erator). Nightmare Fuel fuels generators by 50% with a charge that lasts twice as normal, indicated by its orange color. Pure Horror fuels the generator fully, with its charge also lasting twice as normal, this time being colored red. Catapults powered by a generator fueled by Pure Horror become shadow aligned, and deal 30 planar damage plus 17 normal damage, for a total of 47, on top of being stronger against Planar entities. (Catapults regularly deal 42.5 normal damage.)

Note: When applying fuel to a generator, the fuel that is applied last takes precedence. For example: if you apply pure horror, and then apply nightmare fuel to a generator, 50% will be red and 50% will be orange. The bars drain top to bottom, and red is always above orange, which is always above yellow. More testing is needed on precisely how much is filled. For example, there are 6 bars on the generator. If it is filled with 3 orange and 3 red bars, then is drained to around 80% and is given a nitre as fuel, there will be 2 bars of each color, when normally a nitre would add 3 bars. 

Shadow Strike (requires Portability and Pure Horror Generator) – Allows Winona to use her Handy Remote to fire a shadow infused boulder from a shadow aligned catapult (with pure horror as the generator’s fuel). The boulder does 120 planar damage. Currently, the final version of this skill is not yet implemented and is the same as Enlightened Strike.

Shadow Seeker I – Allows Winona to craft Rose-Colored Glasses for 12 Petals and 3 Twigs. Allows Winona to inspect anything to spawn a Dark Vestige every 4 minutes. Activating it near a small gap of ocean between two pieces of land spawns a vine bridge (maximum of 3 tiles long) to walk across. Activating it otherwise will cause nightmare fuel to spawn 75% of the time and pure horror to spawn the remaining 25% of the time.

Shadow Seeker II (Requires not getting Finder’s Keepers II) – Prevents Winona from being attacked by Charlie in darkness. Using the Rose-Colored Glasses on a flower turns it into a rose and activating a Dark Vestige on a rose turns it into a Fragile Rose. Fragile Roses shatter if dropped. If Winona dies with one in her inventory she will be revived and placed at the Florid Postern, or a Night Light if one is crafted. She will keep her inventory and receive no health penalty. Activating the glasses on a wormhole allows Winona to choose any Wormhole to come out of.

Wagstaff’s Perks

Enlightened/Brilliance G.E.M.erator – Allows Winona to use Enlightened Shards/Pure Brilliance in the G.E.M.erator (not the Generator). Enlightened Shards currently do not function as they will in the final build and provide infinite energy. They are intended to go on a cooldown if too much power is drained too quickly. Pure Brilliance converts the boulders into gems which deal 30 planar damage and 17 damage.

Enlightened Strike (requires Portability and Brilliance G.E.M.erator) – Allows Winona to use her Handy Remote to fire a lunar infused boulder with a lunar infused catapult. The boulder does 120 planar damage. Currently the final version of this skill is not yet implemented and is the same as Shadow Strike.

Finder’s Keepers I – Allows Winona to craft the Inspectacles for 1 Fashion Goggles and 2 Electrical Doodads. Once worn, the hat allows you to find a cache of materials from Wagstaff, with a 4 minute cooldown for use. The cache contains 1-2 Doohickies, 1-2 scrap, 0-2 Electrical doodads, and a Calibrated Perceiver.

 The Calibrated Perceiver is a one time use item that can be used to scan structures and items that Winona cannot craft yet and obtain their blueprint.

Using the Calibrated Perceiver on W.O.B.O.T. gives the blueprint for W.I.N.bot. W.I.N.bot requires 8 Scrap, 4 Electrical Doodads, and 3 Doohickies. W.I.N.bot functions exactly like W.O.B.O.T., sorting items on the ground into chests where those items already are. It has a day’s worth of fuel to keep it functioning and can be recharged at either generator. 

Finder’s Keepers II (Requires not getting Shadow Seeker II) – Allows Winona to find Advanced Caches 25% of the time while using the Inspectacles. Advanced Caches contain 1-2 Gizmos, 1-2 Scraps, 1-2 Electrical Doodads, and either a hologram of the Portasol or Teletransport Station, which can be scanned with the Calibrated Perceiver to obtain their blueprint.

The Portasol is crafted with 4 Trusty Tape, 4 Electrical Doodads, 4 Twigs, and 1 Gizmo. The Teletransport Station is crafted with 6 Trusty Tape, 6 Electrical Doodads, 3 Boards, and 1 Gizmo. The station requires being connected to either generator in order to be powered and act as the anchor for the Portasol. The Portasol acts as an Umbrella and lasts 15 days and can be recharged at either generator. It can be used to teleport to the nearest Teletransport Station within 50 tiles (if you are directly on top of one then it is ignored for the teleport destination). When you teleport, items next to you will be teleported as well. 

Note: Winona’s Catapults can be infused with both shadow and lunar energy at the same time. Doing so changes the planar damage from 30 planar + 17 damage to 40 planar + 8.5 damage and modifies her planar strikes. While Winona herself does not have an affinity, her catapults will depending on the energy infused into it.

Wurt

Wurt’s skill tree is divided into Amphibian, Swampmaster, and Affinity skills. 

Amphibian

Mental Fluidity I/II – Wurt regains sanity proportional to how much wetness she has. At max wetness she gets 4.4/6.6 sanity a minute.

All-Weather Scales – Wurt cannot freeze from her temperature dropping due to wetness.

Slippery Hide I/II – Wurt will use Wetness instead of HP to take damage if she can. Every 3.33/2 wetness will take 1 point of damage.

Hydrous Healing I/II – Wurt will heal proportional to how much wetness she has every 6.5/4 seconds. At maximum wetness she’ll regain 0.5 hp every time she regenerates. 

Swampmaster

Mosquito Incognito – Wurt can make Lil’ Itchy for 1 Mosquito Sack and 1 Beefalo Wool. While Lil’ Itchy is in your inventory, Mosquitoes are neutral to Wurt. Lil’ Itchy spoils in 8 days.

Itchcraft I – Wurt learns to make the Skeeter Bomb, Fertilizzzer, and Blood Shot.

The Skeeter Bomb requires 1 Mosquito Sack and 4 Mosquitoes. The bomb acts as a throwable bomb which will explode on impact, dealing 59.5 damage to nearby enemies and causing 4 Mosquitoes to emerge, attacking nearby enemies.

The Fertilizzzer requires 1 Mosquito Sack, 2 Nitre, and 1 Manure. This is a fertiliser which provides 12 of each nutrient to a farm plot (the equivalent of a spoiled fish, guano, and rotten egg). 

The Blood Shot requires 2 Mosquito Sacks and heals Wurt for 16 hp or a Merm/Merm Guard for 100 hp.

Itchcraft II – Buffs all items from Itchcraft I.. The Skeeter Bomb spawns 2 additional Mosquitos, the Fertilizzzer provides 20 of each nutrient to a farm plot, and the Blood Shot heals an additional 10 hp over 10 seconds when used on Wurt and 50 hp over 10 seconds when used on merms.

The Merm King’s Pauldron Quest – Giving the Merm King a Marble Suit grants your Merms and Merm Guards 15% damage reduction. Wurt receives 10% damage reduction to all damage upon the quest being completed.

The Merm King’s Crown Quest – Giving the Merm King a Thulecite Crown grants your Merm Guards the ability to dodge 1 hit every 10 seconds.

The Merm King’s Trident Quest – Giving the Merm King a Striden Trident allows your Merm Guards a 33% chance to perform a triple hit combo at 50% of the usual damage, resulting in a 50% damage increase each time the combo is used. Wurt will get a 5% damage buff.

Sated Sovereign I/II – The Merm King’s max hunger is increased by 25/50%, for a maximum of 250/300.

Sated Sovereign III – The Merm King’s hunger drain is reduced to 85% of its normal drain, going from 25 hunger a day to 21.25.

Community Feeder I/II [Exact numbers needed] – Allows Wurt to make the Communal Kelp Dish/Superior Communal Kelp Dish.

The Communal Kelp Dish requires 2 Boards and 2 Cut Reeds. The Superior Communal Kelp Dish requires 3 Boards, 3 Cut Reeds, and 1 Tentacle Spot. Kelp can be placed in both to reduce the respawn timer for Merm Huts and Merm Flortifications.

Industrious Merm I/II  – Allows Wurt to make a Shoddy Tool Shed/Slightly Less Shoddy Tool Shed.

The Shoddy Tool Shed requires 2 Boards, 5 Twigs, and 5 Rocks. The Slightly Less Shoddy Tool Shed requires 4 Boards, 1 Tentacle Spot, 5 Twigs, and 5 Rocks. 

Both tools are multi-tools that allow merms to dig, chop, and mine (with chopping and mining being at a faster rate than their punches).

Shoddy tools have 50 uses and are 25% more effective than regular tools. Shoddy tools have 100 uses and are 50% more effective than regular tools. Merms will automatically equip themselves from nearby Sheds.

Mining and chopping consume 3 uses of the tools. When a merm takes from the tools it will consume 1 Rock and 1 Twig inside of the shed. Wurt can replenish the tools by adding more rocks and twigs.

Hardheaded I/II – Allows Wurt to make an Armermry/Superior Armermry to give Merm Guards Swamp Brawler Helmets/Swamp Warrior Helmets.

The Armermry requires 2 Boards, 5 Logs, and 5 Cut Grass. The Superior Armermry requires 4 Boards, 1 Tentacle Spot, 5 Logs, and 5 Cut Grass.

The Swamp Brawler Helmet has 240 durability and gives 30% damage reduction. The Swamp Warrior Helmet has 360 durability and gives 50% damage reduction. When a Merm Guard takes a helmet from the Armermries, 1 Log and 1 Cut Grass will be consumed from its storage. 

Sensible Swamp Fighter – Merm Guards will flee at 20% or below hp to regenerate 5 hp every second for 10 seconds.

Swamp Pathfinder – Players within 7.5 tiles of Wurt will gain 30% speed while on Marsh turf.

Affinities

Lunar Mutated Merm – Giving Merms moonglass or infused moonglass will transform them into mutated merms, giving merms and merm guards +40 max hp, and enemies attacking either receive 40 thorns damage.

Terra Mutation – Grants Wurt access to the Brilliant Mudslinger.

When used, all tiles within a 2.5 tile radius transform into swamp turf for 2 minutes and all merms are mutated and granted the Pure Brilliance buff. The swamp tiles generated from this cause lunacy.

Shadow Resurrection Merm – Merms and Merm Guards that are recruited by Wurt and die are revived as Shadow Merms with full hp. Shadow merms carry the same stats are their alive counterparts, and are immune to fire and sleep.
