Passive skill
(Redirected from Notable passive skill)
Every character in Path of Exile has access to the passive skill tree. The passive skill 'tree' is a large network of stats and raw attribute increases for the player's character. All classes use the same tree, but start in different places. When a character levels up or completes certain quests, they gain one skill point. A skill point allows the player to allocate a node on the skill tree, provided that it is already connected to an allocated node. This is how the character's passive 'path' is formed.
An interactive version of the passive skill tree can be viewed on the official Path of Exile website.
Mechanics
Characters can accrue 99 passive skill points from levels, 23 skill points from quests, with 1 more if they Deal with the Bandits by killing them all. Players can refund skill points placed using 
Orbs of RegretOrb of RegretStack Size: 40Grants a passive skill refund pointRight click on this item to use it.
, Gold or the 20 skill refund points from quests.
Players that choose the Scion as their character may also gain up to 5 additional passive skill points, depending on the choices they make in their Ascendancy.
While the passive tree may seem complicated, it actually only has two parts. It can be thought of as a map with suburbs and roads.
The clusters of related passive nodes that boost a specific area (swords, spells, damage types, evasion, etc.) are like suburbs. These will form the bulk of a character's build. The pathways between these clusters, comprised entirely of nodes that give +10 to a certain attribute, are like roads. Some of these roads can cover a great distance much quicker than if the player detours through the suburbs: what may look like a short path with passive boosts could be much longer than taking the +10 to attribute path.
Pressing C (default) in-game and hovering over each of the three attributes will show what these do. Anything the attributes don't do, such as increase ranged damage or attack speed, will likely be handled by passive nodes on the skill 'tree'.
Layout
The character classes and their approximate starting position on the tree
- The tree can be divided into three primary sectors of equal size, one-third of the relatively circular tree, surrounding a central wheel. They are the north or blue sector, the southwest or red sector, and the southeast or green sector.
- The north or blue sector is also known as the magic sector; passives there boost intelligence, elemental damage, energy shield, wand damage, minion stats, etc. Everything related to magic and the skills normally found on blue gems.
- The southwest or red sector is also known as the melee sector; passives there boost strength, armour, physical damage, and nearly every known aspect of melee combat, as well as all skills normally found on red gems.
- The southeast or green sector is also known as the ranged sector; passives there boost dexterity, ranged projectile damage, evasion, most known aspects of ranged combat, and all skills normally found on green gems.
- As the player moves to the borders between sectors, the passive skills available there become more hybridized between the two.
- Each character starts at the border of the inner wheel of the tree at a different location. The Witch, for example, starts at the due-north border of the inner wheel, smack in the middle of the blue sector showing her preference for magic. The wheel of character images (on the right) shows which position each class starts in and therefore their preferred method of combat; the Marauder starts in the middle of the red sector showing a preference for melee combat, and the Ranger starts in the middle of the green sector for ranged combat, with the other characters starting in a position to put them in more of a hybrid role to start.
- While nothing hinders players from immediately leaving the starting area to make, say, a Melee Witch, such a player would have a hard time acquiring the melee skill gems early in the campaign (they would have to trade for them or buy them with other characters). Also, none of the witch Ascendancies would really support such skills.
Passive nodes
There are several types of passive skills.
Small passives
For a list of all small passive skills, see List of small passive skills.
Small passive skills only grant attributes or minor bonuses to the character.
Notable passives
For a list of all notable passive skills, see List of notable passive skills.
Notable passive skills grant notable improvements to the character.
Some notable passive skills can only be acquired from cluster jewels or anointing. Cluster jewels provide a unique set of notables. While most notable passives on the main skill tree can be anointed, there are some notable skills that can only be obtained by anointing (29 as of game version 3.25).
Passive masteries
For a list of all Skill tree masteries, see List of Passive Masteries.
When you allocate a cluster's Notable passive skill through the normal method (that is, travelling there through the skill tree), you may allocate a Mastery passive on that cluster. Masteries are present in all clusters outside of the class's starting area, and allocating it lets you acquire one passive effect within the cluster category, indicated by their icons, e.g. health, two-handed weapons, curses. The set of mastery passives offered are shared among their respective cluster categories. Once you select an option from a category, you cannot select that option again by taking the mastery passive of another cluster of the same category.

) will not let you allocate a Mastery passive.
Keystone passives
Main page: Keystone
Keystone passive skills significantly alters how the character functions. Some of them are granted exclusively from unique cluster jewel and unique Timeless Jewel.
Jewel sockets
Jewel sockets are passives that can be filled with jewels. By default, they are empty and don't grant any bonuses. There are currently 21 sockets distributed around the tree, 15 of which are small and 6 of them being Large Jewel Sockets, which can socket cluster jewels.
Ascendancy passives
Main page: Ascendancy skill tree
Every character has an opportunity to gain a subclass called Ascendancy class that grants access to an Ascendancy skill tree specific for the character class chosen.
Tattoos
Tattoos can be applied to a passive skill in the skill tree to transform the passive into a different passive. Most tattoos are applied to the minor +10 attribute nodes on the tree, and some on +30 attribute notables. Up to 50 tattoos can be applied on one character.
Planning your build
With the number of nodes on the skill tree, the variety of starting positions, the number of passive skill points you can gain and the variety of available Jewels, the number of possible configurations of skill builds on the tree is so large it can for all intents and purposes be considered infinite. Planning a good build in this tree can be a daunting task for many players, but there are ways to make it much easier.
There is a VERY effective Search function at the top of the passive tree viewing window. If you put a word, or even part of a word, into this search function, every single passive node in the entire tree that has this word either within its name or its main effect description sentence will be highlighted by a pulsing glow, easily visible even with the tree view zoomed out to the maximum. You can then quickly hover your mouse over that node for more details on what it specifically does, and compare its position to the parts of the tree you have already allocated points to.
To then proceed with an effective build design, do the following:
- Think of an effect that you want, such as a specific Passive listed within another page on the Wiki that sounded attractive, or a more general concept such as passives that affect Shields.
- Type a corresponding key word into the search function, such as part of the name of the specific Passive you're looking for or a concept word like Shield.
- Zoom out the tree view and find the corresponding glowing nodes, and hover your mouse over them to check the corresponding direct effects
- Compare the positions of these passive clusters with the node path you've already unlocked, and determine the most efficient path that uses the lowest number of Passive points to get you to the desired nodes and/or puts you nearby/through other nodes with other effects that will also greatly help you in other ways later.
- Get the passive skill points through the normal means, and apply them according to plan.
With a bit of work you should be able to plan out an extremely effective character design using the above process.
Unique Jewel interactions
Some unique jewels can grant different bonuses depending on the specific socket they are socketed into and/or the other passive skills that have or have not been allocated.
