Talent tree

core and branch talents

The Talent Tree (T): a point every level from level 2, one for each of the 19 boss quests and one for each of the 7 trials (a raid boss's fall, a world event won, Moonhorn in the Moonwell Glade, gear at +7, a level-3 horse, 12 zones walked, 100 gatherings) - 125 at level 100. A core of seven talents and three branches, one for each path; a branch's rings open with 5 / 12 / 22 / 30 / 40 points spent lower in it. Core and minor talents cost 1 point a rank, the path talents 2 (from their level, one a tier - the paths' talents of one level exclude each other), the notables - each a mechanic - 2, keystones 3 (one at a time), and each branch's apex 3 from level 50 - it awakens that path's ultimate. Plan the points and press Apply; Reset returns every point - free below level 20, then 50 gold a level.
