Dimraeth How to Respec: Skill Points and Attributes

How to respec in Dimraeth depends on which half of your build you want to undo, because the game splits character growth into two systems with two different rules. Skill points spent on the skill tree can be reset freely from a menu, so your playstyle is never permanent. Attribute points bought with experience are the serious commitment — community guides report a consumable called the Elixir of Rebirth resets them, at a real gold cost, through Befr's shop at your sanctum. Here is how both work in the current Early Access build, and how to decide when a reset is actually worth it.

Step one: understand what you are resetting

Every character in Dimraeth grows on two tracks. Experience points work as a currency: you spend them at trainers or campfires to raise attributes like Strength, Agility, or Memory, and spending them also fills your level bar, which grants skill points. Those skill points go into the four-wing skill tree — two racial wings, two class wings — unique to your race-and-class archetype. The tree decides your abilities and playstyle; the attributes decide your raw stats and which spells you can meet the requirements for.

Because the tracks are separate, "respec" can mean either a free reallocation of skill points or a paid reset of attributes. Knowing which one your build actually needs is most of the battle — most build problems in Dimraeth are tree problems, not attribute problems.

Respecing skill points: free and built in

The skill tree is deliberately low-commitment. Community trackers reading the game's own interface report that the spell panel — SPELL in the top menu — opens a skill tree tab that shows your available and spent points and offers a respec option directly. In other words, resetting your tree is a menu action, not a quest or an item hunt, and community reviewers highlight this as a core part of the game's design: the developers have said they want Dimraeth to be about skill expression and adaptability, and free respecs are how you pivot from fire to ice when an enemy resists, or from melee to bow when a fight zones you out.

The practical advice follows from that. Treat the tree as a sandbox — try a branch, feel it against real enemies, and reset if it underperforms. Nothing is lost, and the corner nodes where race and class intersect are worth inspecting before you commit to any route, since they contain abilities unique to your exact pairing.

Respecing attributes: the Elixir of Rebirth

Attributes are the expensive half. Community guides — consistent across early character-creation videos and written tip guides — describe the same route: recruit Befr, the traveling merchant, to your sanctum, upgrade his shop to level one, then buy the Elixir of Rebirth from him for 500 gold and use it to respec your attributes. Players who have done it describe the elixir as the answer to overspending on the wrong stats, and it pairs with the game's other forgiveness systems — community guides also report respec potions unlocking through normal progression.

Why the safety net matters: attribute costs rise as you invest, and Mudtek has stated that XP costs vary by race-and-class combination, with heavy off-stat spending leaving you fewer total points at the level 25 cap. That said, treat the elixir's specifics — the 500 gold price, the shop-level requirement — as community findings rather than official documentation, because Mudtek has not published the details itself. Whether attribute respec exists in every situation, or how the elixir behaves in future patches, is not officially confirmed.

Reset smart: exhaust the free fixes first

Community guides converge on one habit: before buying an elixir, check whether your problem is actually solvable without it. Gear swaps, set bonuses, pets, and spellbooks found in the world can all reshape a build substantially without touching attributes — an elf with no innate healing can still pick up heal spells from spellbooks, and the right two-piece set bonus can transform a weak ability. Reset with a specific goal, not a vague feeling that damage is low.

If you do respec, plan the new allocation before spending. Identify your archetype's exclusive tools first, find the primary attribute your passive rewards, and only then spread points. The skill tree page goes deeper on wing structure and node planning, the attributes page covers what each stat does, and the gameplay overview explains how XP income feeds both systems. For everything else resettable — or not — the guide hub links the full how-to collection, including saving before you experiment.
