====Nature Tree Overview====
  
−
*'''Regrowth:''' Essential for any build that relies partly or mostly on healing. Without this branch a ranger is unable to cast any kind of healing spell on their own. This branch requires a heavy skill point investment but that investment is worth it in the long run.
 
−
**'''Holy Power:''' As with Regrowth, this branch of the Nature Tree benefits builds that factor in healing. Access to HealWave allows most any ranger build to provide support healing at the least, and the reductions to spell cost go a long way towards ensuring a ranger can keep healing for a long period of time.
 
−
*'''Nature's Fury:''' Any build that focuses on storm damage will benefit from this branch. Unlike similar branches available to wizards and conjurers, points in Nature's Fury do not increase the cost of storm magic. This is ideal early on in a storm ranger's career; they receive the benefit of added power without the drawback of burning through their MP at an increased rate.
 
−
**'''Tempest:''' Any ranger looking for a source of multi-target damage should look here, as without points invested in this branch spells like Electro and Lightning are off-limits. The reduction to spell costs is a welcome bonus, reducing the costs of spells that are already modest in that respect.
 
−
***'''Cloud Burst:''' This branch is another solid choice for a ranger looking to maximize the power of their storm magic, increasing the power of all multi-target storm spells without increasing their cost.
 
−
*'''Sagacious:''' Additional intelligence is of good use to many ranger builds, providing increased magic defense alongside increased spell power. Any ranger with points left over can do worse than placing them here.
 
−
**'''Staff Mastery:''' One of three ranger branches that have a synergy with one or more weapon types, Staff Mastery increases the power of storm and healing spells.  As the name implies though, a staff must be equipped in order to receive these benefits.

====Hunter Tree Overview====
+

+
−
*'''Quickness:''' Investment in this tree has no immediate benefits aside from keeping a ranger's turn early on in the battle order. With full investment, a ranger can not only counter multiple incoming single target attacks but they have the option of learning how to reduce incoming elemental damage on top of any protection their intelligence and equipment provides.
+
−
*'''Awareness:''' If making Repel more effective is of interest, then points here are well spent. Also, Sense can provide a good gauge of how much longer a boss fight is expected to last.  This in turn allows the ranger and their teammate(s) to adjust their strategy as needed.
+
−
**'''Guts:''' There's nothing wrong with reducing the amount of elemental damage taken from enemy attacks, so if the skill points are available then Guts is a fine choice.
+
−
*'''Daring Offense:''' The second of three ranger branches that have a synergy with one or more weapon types, Daring Offense is a big part of any physical ranger build.  If the bonuses to physical damage aren't enough, then there are the options of increasing the rate of critical hits via further skill point investment along with being able to lower a target's defense via Soften.
+
−
**'''Steady Aim''' and '''Dead Eye:''' A 1% increase to critical rate for one skill point is a fair bargain. It helps that these two branches are an easy way to increase a stat that is otherwise difficult to boost.
+
−
*'''Solid Defense:''' The last of the three ranger branches that have a synergy with one or more weapon types, Solid Defense does for reducing physical damage received what '''Daring Offense''' does for physical damage inflicted. Any ranger build that seeks to increase physical durability with the option of increasing the durability of others as well should place points here.
+
−
**'''Moving Target''' and '''Agile:''' Like with '''Steady Aim''' and '''Dead Eye''', these two branches allow a way to boost a stat (dodge rate) that is otherwise limited to a few pieces of equipment.

↵ Return to Classes

The Ranger combines physical strength with an impressive arsenal of healing and attack magic to make for a versatile, balanced fighter. “Jack of all trades, master of none”, the Ranger has no glaring weaknesses. Rangers are an excellent class for soloing, but can also be an asset to any party.

Equipment

Rangers can equip Swords, Daggers, Bows, and Staves. They can use a variety of armor ranging from heavy chain mail to cloth. In their offhand slot Rangers can equip Bracelets and Necklaces. In short, a ranger's equipment options mirrors their versatility in terms of skill choices and play style.

Skill Trees

Skill Trees are the basis of leveling and customizing your character in NEStalgia. The skill tree menu unlocks at level 5 and at that point the player will be able to customize their character with available skill points. There are two ways to gain additional points:

  • Gain an experience level, which grants one point.
  • Progress through the plot of the game, which grants one point after completing the main quest connected to Verity's lighthouse and an additional point after completing the main quest connected to the Arctic's ice palace.

As of v1.68 this allows for a maximum of 30 points to spend.
