Essential Beginner Tips for Kingdoms of Amalur Re-Reckoning

Embarking on the journey through the remastered version of the underrated RPG, Kingdoms of Amalur Re-Reckoning, can be daunting. In this guide, we aim to make your experience smoother by covering essential tips, including navigating the UI, Skill and Ability trees, and inventory management.

Character Creation and Skills

Although character creation is the first thing you experience in the game, we’ll start with Skills as they are essential for your character’s growth. Kingdoms of Amalur Re-Reckoning has nine Skills. The level cap is 40, allowing you to max out four Skills by the end of the game. Skills can be further trained by NPCs and boosted through your Race.

Some milestone Skills are Alchemy, which allows potion crafting; Blacksmithing, which lets you craft weapons and armor; Dispelling, which makes dispelling wards on chests easier; and Sagecraft, allowing you to create Gems for abilities.

Classes, Abilities, and Destinies

Next, we’ll look at Classes and how to create a Build. Ability trees define your Build, with three options of Might, Finesse, and Sorcery. Place points in any tree as desired, without limitation, and try various combinations to find your preferred playstyle.

Destinies are your chosen class archetype. Upgrading your Destiny improves your passive benefits, such as damage increases or block efficiency. Meeting a Destiny’s requirements allows you to switch classes at any time, giving you flexibility in your playstyle. To refund Skill Points and Ability points for a different combination, consult a Fateweaver and pay in gold.

Final Tips

Salvage unneeded items for crafting materials, keep a balanced spread of Skills, and always buy Health Potions. Utilize elemental effects like Burning, Freezing, and Shocking for added combat advantages. Manage your inventory effectively, buy backpacks when possible, and obtain a house in Webwood early for additional storage.

With these essential tips, you’ll have a smoother and more enjoyable experience in Kingdoms of Amalur Re-Reckoning. Experiment with different Builds and create the character you desire, all while exploring the vast world that the game offers.
