The Atlas passive skill tree interface for the Haewark Hamlet region

Atlas passive skills come from skill trees specific to the Atlas of Worlds, introduced in the Echoes of the Atlas expansion. Progressing The Maven's questline allows the player to unlock these powerful passive skills that enhance the rewards and fights of maps within the Atlas of Worlds.

There is an Atlas Quick Guide that covers all the steps to unlock the complete The Maven's Challenge and unlock the Atlas passive skill trees.

Mechanics

Atlas regions

Each region of the Atlas has its own passive skill tree. Each region also has five distinct invitations from The Maven associated with it. Accepting and completing each of these invitations for the first time will earn two skill points for use in that region's passive skill tree, up to a maximum of ten points for each region.

Skills in a region's passive skill tree only have effects on maps in that region of the Atlas.

The Uncharted Realms

The Uncharted Realms is a passive skill tree that affects the entire Atlas, not just a particular region. It does not appear in the user interface until the player earns skill points that apply there.

Six difficult Maven challenges are not tied to a particular region. Completing any of these invitations for the first time will award two skill points for The Uncharted Realms, for a maximum of twelve skill points.

Spending and refunding passive skill points

Immediately after receiving Atlas passive skill points, the player has the opportunity to spend those points in the appropriate skill tree. If the player leaves the points unassigned, they can be spent later from the Atlas of Worlds screen.

As with the character's normal passive skill tree, the player must spend refund points in order to remove previously-assigned passive skills. Earning refund points requires the use of an Orb of UnmakingOrb of UnmakingStack Size: 40Grants an atlas passive skill refund pointRight click on this item to use it., an item that can drop during The Maven's challenges. Once earned, these refund points can be used in any of the five Atlas passive skill trees. Refund points for the Atlas passive skill trees cannot be used to remove passive skills from the character's passive skill tree, and vice-versa.
