Talent screen (K)
A draggable, zoomable constellation map.
Home: seven entries
- Talents — only your join-roll passives
- Combat / Mining / Farming / Fishing / Crafting / Exploration — skill lines with current Skill XP and unlock count
Node colors
| Look | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gray | Not learned or prerequisite missing |
| Green | Enough XP—click to learn or upgrade |
| Bright | Already owned |
| Lines | Prerequisites—unlock left before right |
Clicking nodes
- Left click: upgrade (spends that category’s Skill XP)
- Right click: details—effects, cost, prerequisites, grade
- Some skills have enable/disable (e.g. Ignite if you keep mis-clicking)
- Spell skills let you equip to skill bar slots 1–7 in details
Developmental talents
Poison Resistance and Heat Tolerance show progress bars in details; they level when the bar fills. Destiny lines may grant high ranks or exclusive talents (e.g. Rimuru)—see Destiny Lines.
Cast bars appear for cast-time spells; channeled spells (e.g. Hydro Jet) stop when pressed again.
Skill bar & HUD
Once you know at least one spell:
- Mana: current / max, regens over time (default ~2/sec)
- Skill bar: up to 7 spell icons with hotkeys (~2-3-2 layout)
- Cooldown: icon spin or dim while on CD
- Magic tier: shown in skill details (beginner → … → god)
No mana or still on cooldown → hotkey does nothing.
Client HUD settings
File: .minecraft/config/fatepath-client.toml.

Skill wheel (middle mouse)
For swapping spells without memorizing seven keys. The wheel is an overlay—you can still move while it is open.
- Hold middle mouse to open the wheel
- Left click a slice to cast
- ESC to cancel
Only unlocked spells appear. Ignite is not on the wheel—see Ignite.
Casting checklist
- Learned the skill at the right rank
- Spell equipped on the bar (wheel still needs unlock)
- Enough mana
- Off cooldown
- Valid target (e.g. Thunder Strike needs hostiles nearby to lock)
Watch the action bar for “not enough mana”, “on cooldown”, “no target”, etc.
FAQ
Why is my Skill XP not moving?
You must do the matching activity—mining alone won’t raise combat XP. See How to Progress.
Green node won’t click?
Check prerequisite ranks or max level.
Learned Fireball but R does nothing?
Equip Fireball to a skill bar slot in the K screen, then press that slot’s key.
Berserker lost a rank when I died?
That’s the skill’s death penalty—not a bug.
