The HWS Skill Tree lets you permanently boost your character beyond the vanilla limits: more max. Health, Stamina or Food, or extra Unlock Points + XP for your Tech Tree. An HWS-exclusive system on HWS Connect.
Open it: HWS Connect → Player Info → Skill Tree (NA players: /rn/skills)
This video shows the previous HWS Connect. The screenshots in this guide show the current site.
How It Works
- You earn HWS Skill Points (SP) from Daily Loot: every claimed box = 1 SP.
- The tree has 90 days. Each day is a fork with two branches. You pick one of them.
- Day N unlocks once you have earned N points in total. “N SP needed” is a threshold, not a price. Every pick costs exactly 1 SP.
- You can pick any unlocked day in any order, as long as you have an unspent point.
Each branch card shows its boost and up to 5 pips (how strong it is compared to the best value of that stat in the tree). Point at a card to see the result, e.g. “It would set your Health to a total of 550.”
How to Choose a Skill
- Claim your Daily Loot boxes to earn points
- Select the server you play on at the top (you don’t need to be in the game)
- Open the Skill Tree and click the arrow next to Unspent to jump to the next day you can pick
- Click the branch you want
There is no confirmation step. The point is spent and the boost is sent to the game immediately, and choices are permanent. Choose wisely!
Re-Apply Skills: if your in-game stats don’t match your choices (e.g. after a server restart), be online and click Re-Apply Skills. It sends your chosen skills to the game again, for free.
Example Values
The two server types use different numbers (character stats start at a base of 500):
| Day | HWS+ RE (EU/NA) | HWS+ (EU/NA) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | +5 max. Stamina or +100 Unlock Points + 80,000 XP | +50 max. Stamina or +100 Unlock Points + 10,000 XP |
| 3 | +5 max. Health or +120 Unlock Points + 100,000 XP | +50 max. Health or +300 Unlock Points + 60,000 XP |
| 18–31 | stat branches mostly +160, Unlock Point branches +190 to +250 (+500,000 XP each) | day 30: up to +450 Health/Food, day 31: +500 Stamina or +2,000 Unlock Points |
| 32 | values drop, then climb slowly again | values drop, then climb slowly again |
| 90 | +160 Unlock Points + 160,000 XP or +110 max. Health | +1,200 Unlock Points + 490,000 XP or +270 max. Health |
The website always shows the exact values for your server.
Limitations & Important Notes
You can choose a skill while offline, for example on your phone. The boost is applied to your character in game.
Skill points and choices are per server. You can collect Daily Loot and build a tree on each server separately. Cross Server Warp (CSW) does not transfer your skills.
The Skill Tree is bound to your player id: running cb:resetin game resets your Skill Tree along with your character. The website itself has no re-pick.
A full server wipe resets everything, including skills and skill points.
Common messages
- “No unspent skill points. Complete another day-cycle to earn one.”: claim your next Daily Loot box.
- “The skill could not be saved. Check in game before choosing again.”: check your stats in game first, so you don’t pick twice.
