MMO Skill Tree

Adds 20 skills to Hytale that level up as you mine, chop, fish, fight and craft.

Everything you do earns XP in a skill. Level up to unlock abilities for your hotbar and pick rewards from each skill's tree. Then chase over 200 achievements, or the top spot on your server's Records. It all runs from in-game menus, so there are no commands to learn.

It needs the free Ziggfreed's CommonLib (2.5.1 or newer) and a Hytale Update 7 (0.7.x) server. It won't load on Update 6.

Getting started

1. Join the server. The Adventurer's Guide stands beside the spawn point. Walk up and press F.
2. The guide gives you a Skills Menu Scroll and an Objective Book. Use the scroll, or type /xp, to open your skills. The book holds your quests and achievements.
3. Play. Mining ore trains Mining. A sword kill trains Swords.
4. When a skill reaches a reward level, open its Skill Tree from the menu and pick your reward.

Features

20 skills

• Gathering: Mining, Woodcutting, Excavation, Harvesting, Fishing
• Combat: Swords, Daggers, Polearms, Staves, Axes, Blunt, Archery, Magic, Artillery, Unarmed, Defense, Acrobatics
• Crafting, Enchanting and Building

Skill trees

Every skill has a tree of rewards at levels 5, 10, 15 and on up to 100. At each one you pick: more health or mana, more damage, better luck, or a new ability. Changed your mind? A reset scroll lets you pick again, and your levels stay.

Some levels hand you items too. Collect them on the Item Rewards page. At level 100, 19 of the skills give a Mastery Cape, and a total level of 1500 gives the Master Cape.

Abilities

63 abilities to cast, like Fireball, Shield Bash, Volley and Seismic Slam, and 34 passives that trigger on their own. Unlock them in the skill trees, then put up to three on the Abilities page.

They cast from the middle mouse button, Ctrl+middle mouse and H, so E and R stay free for the runes you slot at the bench. Want them on E, R and Q? Turn on stance mode on the Abilities page, and H switches between your abilities and your runes.

Abilities deal the game's own damage types, like Fire and Ice. A monster that shrugs off fire shrugs off your Fireball too.

Quests and achievements

• Quests from the Adventurer's Guide and other characters, from the first tutorial to daily goals. Track one and it stays on screen.
• Once you've found the Forgotten Temple, the guide sends you after the Gobliterator in the Deepworks.
• Over 200 achievements, including ones for Update 7's bosses like the Feastmaster and the Gobliterator.
• Some achievements give a title. Pick yours at the Adventurer's Guide under Titles and it shows beside your name.

Skill Lamps and XP boosts

A Skill Lamp puts its XP into the skills you choose. Hold right-click to rub it, then pick. XP tokens and timed boosts come from quests and skill levels: start one from the Boosts tab and it sits on your effects bar with its time left.

Records and Settings

Records is your server's rankings, on its own menu tab or with /mmoleaderboard. Combat, Gathering and Adventure rank by week, month, season and all time, so a fresh race starts every week. On the Skills tab, a week, a month or a season ranks by the XP you gained in it, for your total, each category and each skill, with everyone's level beside their name. On the Settings tab you turn notices and the quest tracker on or off, or change your title.

Works with

• MMO Skill Bounty Pack: boards with daily and weekly contracts that pay XP and Bounty Tokens, which you spend at the Token Trader. A board opens on the quest page, where you take, reroll, hand in and collect its contracts.
• MMO Skill Mastery Pack: a Mastery Point every 15 levels to spend in Ability Mastery.
• MMO Mob Scaling: rarer, tougher mobs that scale to how strong you are.
• RPG Stations with the MMO Skill Stations Pack: work a Sawmill or a Disenchanting Table by hand for XP.
• MMO Skill Taming Pack with Alec's Animal Husbandry: a Taming skill.
• Seasons of Orbis: Hallow's Eve's quests and jobs pay skill XP, and its Headless Horseman pays Defense XP.
• Kweebec Nightmare: achievements for beating the Blight Warden.

The mod speaks 9 languages and follows the language you set for the game: English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Hungarian, Turkish, German, Italian and Russian.

For Server Owners

• /mmoadmin opens the admin dashboard. Change XP values, level rewards, per-world rules and boosts there, with no files to edit.
• Config files are in mods/mmoskilltree/ and keep only your changes. Shops, quests, conversations and placed NPCs belong to CommonLib, in mods/ziggfreedcommon/. The Configuration page lists every file.
• Permissions are off by default, and admin commands need mmoskilltree.admin. Every command is on the Commands page.
• Several servers can share player data through one Postgres or MySQL database, set in database.json.
• Rather not edit JSON at all? The Config Manager adds a visual quest builder and shareable presets.

Installation

1. Drop ZiggfreedCommon-2.5.1.jar (or newer) and the MMO Skill Tree jar into your server's mods/ folder. Running RPG Stations as well? Use 1.1.1 or newer.
2. Start the server.

We recommend Perfect Utils. With it, Shield Bash, Shield Slam and Paralyzing Dart stop the target in place, and Shadowstep and Vanish make nearby mobs lose track of you. Without it those abilities still hit, just without the stun.

These hook in on their own when installed: Perfect Parries adds four parry rewards to the skill trees, Angler's Almanac and CozyTales Fishing pay Fishing XP for rod catches, and SimpleEnchantments pays Enchanting XP.
