Each class can earn at most 51 talent points through runs. A new character does not start with 51 spendable points. Three talent trees describe the branches you invest in; Spec 1, Spec 2 and Spec 3 are separate saved-build slots. Talent progression is separate from level-up card choices inside a run.
The editorial Druid screenshot dated 28 October 2026 shows 0 to spend, 0 of 0 earned spent, 51 at most and 0/80 XP toward the next point. Its three branches are Balance, Feral Combat and Restoration; its three empty Spec slots sit in a separate panel. The visible instructions say respecs are free.
Rules on the screen
The official Druid screen captured on 28 October 2026 says runs earn class talent XP from survival, kills, bosses and wins, with more in harder zones. The observed 0/80 bar is one next-point threshold, not a formula for every level. The independent talent guide records the same class-XP, 51-point maximum and free-respec system in older menus, and three saved slots in its 0.120.4 check.
Five points spent in a tree open its next row. The display lists milestone gates at 10, 20 and 30 points; a node can also require an earlier named talent. Reaching a gate does not buy the next node: buying a one-point node after 30 points already spent takes a further point. Clicking spends an earned point and right-clicking refunds one, according to the visible instructions.
The community patch tracker records 355 regular talents in its version comparisons. This is a single-source total, not a count made by this guide and not evidence that version 0.119.0 newly added 355 talents.
Talent trees for all nine classes
The linked community class pages label their talent data 0.120.5; they were read on 28 October 2026. Druid tree names also match the official screenshot. The independent nine-class guide supplies historical branch and milestone observations. These references support the names, while current node values, complete allocations and later balancing remain gaps.
This table names branches, not three compulsory complete builds. Do not confuse any row’s three tree names with the three saved Spec slots: a saved build can allocate earned points across trees subject to prerequisites and exclusions.

Druid and Warrior milestone examples
The three Druid rows below are printed in the dated official screenshot. Warrior names come from the Warrior reference and the independent historical guide, not from that Druid image. Flurry is the named Fury 20-point milestone in those references.
The historical references describe Bear and Cat as mutually exclusive. They also show that milestones or final talents can replace starters: compare the default spell list with the route you actually plan. Exact damage, uptime and a point-by-point 51-point allocation are not established by this table.

Plan with the points already earned
First distinguish available points from the 51-point ceiling. Choose a target branch and follow its row and named-node prerequisites; do not treat a fully developed video as a fresh-save opening. Preserve a working damage and survival plan while earning toward a later milestone. The free talent respec described on this screen is separate from account reward resets.
Use class routes for the purpose of a branch, spells for default versus talent-driven starts and progression for earning XP. Version notes explain why historical talent names do not certify unchanged current values.
Questions
Does respec cost gold?
The Druid talent screen shows a free respec. Checked 2026-10-28.
Do new characters receive 51 talent points?
No. The recorded Druid panel has 0 points to spend and says 51 at most. Points are earned through class talent XP.
Are three trees the same as Spec 1, Spec 2 and Spec 3?
No. Trees are investment branches. The three Spec slots are saved talent builds, shown separately on the screen.
Sources and verification limits
Checked 2026-10-28. Two independent publishers are needed to call a claim confirmed. A menu, screenshot and script from Aethus count as one publisher. Exact menu HP, racial values and dated build identifiers are single-source observations. A video or a general game report does not independently verify every number. Missing values remain unreported; disagreements stay attributed.
