Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is back from the dead, just like its main character, and seems to be coming out at a much better time. But if you already have the game and are in the middle of your journey as The Fateless One, you might be curious about how to reset your skill and ability points to turn things around.
This guide for Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning will explain how to do just that. First, we'll talk about how you get skill points and ability points in the non-combat and combat categories, and then we'll talk about how to reset them.
Skill Points and Ability Points
When you level up in Kingdoms of Amalur, four things happen.
First, your base stats increase naturally without you having to make any choices. Then you get a skill point to improve non-combat skills. Even though your skill points are not related to combat, they are still very important. You can get special dialogue options by upgrading Persuasion, and you'll discover tons of hidden loot by investing in Lockpicking or Detect Hidden early on.
After that, you get three ability points for combat abilities in three trees:
Finally, you have the option to change your destiny by switching to another map or checking the new maps you unlocked after upgrading.
You unlock new ones based on which trees you've invested the most ability points in.
Reset Skill Points, Ability Points, and Fate Cards
Since the whole narrative conceit of a game like Kingdoms of Amalur is about not being bound by fate and choosing your own path, it makes sense that you could respec your character by resetting certain things.
To reset all of your Skill Points, Skill Points, and Fate Cards, all you need to do is talk to a Fateweaver. You will see the options appear on the left side of the dialog menu after opening the voiceover line.
Reset options will cost you some gold, but it's not much as long as you regularly loot and sell things you don't need.
After selecting the respec option, you will be refunded all skill points and ability points you have spent on your adventure with the ability to repurpose them freely.
After that, you will be able to choose a new fate card that suits the ability points you have invested this time around.
Where to find a Fateweaver
You can find Fateweavers throughout the game in Kingdoms of Amalur. Specifically, you'll encounter Agarth very early in the story, right after the tutorial, and can always talk to her to get your abilities reset.
Alternatively, most major cities will have a Fateweaver somewhere near where the Merchants, Blacksmith's Forge, etc. are located.
Just keep an eye out for the little card game icon somewhere that depicts a Fateweaver. You can even hover over fast travel locations on the world map to see a list of NPCs in that area before you travel, to make sure you're going to a location that has what you need.
And that's all you need to know about resetting your skill points, skill points, and fate cards in Kingdoms of Amalur. Feel free to mix things up regularly as this is a game that was designed to encourage experimentation.
