What Are Luminaries?
Luminaries is the skill tree system in Witchspire. It's the main way to unlock new abilities, crafting recipes, stat upgrades, and utility features as you progress through the game.
The tree uses a "star/tree" visual layout where you spend Luminary Points to unlock nodes. Some nodes require you to unlock prerequisite nodes first.
The Steam achievement "Call of the Luminaries — Unlocked 10 Luminaries" has an 80.5% unlock rate, meaning nearly every player interacts with this system. "The Master of Unlocking — Unlocked 100 Luminaries" has a 38.2% rate, suggesting many players invest heavily.
How to Earn Luminary Points
⚠️ Needs Verification
The exact method of earning Luminary Points is not fully documented.
Community reports suggest points are earned through:
- Leveling up your character
- Progressing through the main story/quests
- Possibly other in-game milestones
The achievement unlock rates (80.5% for 10, 38.2% for 100) suggest points come naturally through normal gameplay.
Known Node Types
⚠️ Incomplete Data
The following node names and types are based on community discussions. The complete tree has not been fully documented. A full node list and point costs are not available.
Cauldron Upgrades
Nodes that upgrade your Cauldron crafting station. Specific upgrade effects are not documented.
Hearth Upgrades (1–9)
Hearth upgrade nodes numbered 1 through 9. Level 7 requires Ritual Candles (needs Beeswax).
Weapon Recipes (Wand / Spellsword)
Weapon recipe unlocks for Wand and Spellsword weapon types. Players debate whether unlocking gear recipes in the tree is worth the investment.
Combat Stats (Luck, Vigor, Leech)
Luck affects drop rates. Vigor unlocks double-jump. Leech is a lifesteal mechanic — community opinion is mixed.
Utility Nodes
Scroll of Regrowth (trees respawn), Gem Mining (Familiars auto-mine), Ritual Candle Recipe unlock.
Endgame: Lux Staff "Brightspreader"
Endgame weapon requiring Hearth Level 8. Found at the end of a Luminaries branch.
Best Early Luminaries to Unlock
⚠️ Needs Verification
No community consensus on optimal unlock order exists. The recommendations below are inferred from the node types available and general progression logic.
Based on community discussion patterns, consider prioritizing:
- Hearth Upgrades (early levels): Upgrading your Hearth improves your base of operations and likely unlocks crafting stations.
- Cauldron Upgrades: Better crafting means better gear and items for exploration.
- Scroll of Regrowth: If you plan to harvest wood/trees, this prevents permanent resource depletion in your area.
- Vigor (Double Jump): Mobility is key for exploration. A double jump likely helps reach otherwise inaccessible areas.
- Ritual Candle Recipe: Needed for Hearth Level 7 upgrade and fast travel expansion. Unlock this before you need it.
This order is a suggestion based on available data, not a verified optimal path. Your mileage may vary based on playstyle.
Can You Respec Luminaries?
No Respec Available
As of the current Early Access build, there is no way to reset or redistribute your Luminary Points.
"anyway to relocate skillpoints?" — The answer from the community is currently no.
Version-sensitive: This may be added in a future patch. Plan your point allocation carefully.
Known Bugs
The Luminaries system has two reported bugs in Early Access:
Co-op Bug — Non-host Players
Unlocking Luminaries in a co-op session may not save for players who are not the host. Your points may be spent but the unlocks don't persist.
Menu Freeze
Opening the Luminaries interface can sometimes cause the game to freeze or become unresponsive.
These bugs may be fixed in later patches. Check the game's patch notes for updates.
