Skill Trees play a vital role in Don’t Starve Together. They provide an avenue for players to specialize in certain characters, making the gameplay more fulfilling. Each character's Skill Tree is tailored to their unique traits. For instance, Wigfrid's Skills bolster her proficiency in combat with Spears and the use of Helms. Moreover, Skill Trees add depth to each character by enhancing their combat and survival capabilities.

For newcomers, the Skill Tree feature in Don't Starve Together is a welcome addition, encouraging them to explore and survive with each character. This adds an element of excitement, especially given the diverse range of characters and their abilities in the Constant.

Gaining Insight in Don't Starve Together

To acquire Insight in Don't Starve Together, players must survive for multiple days. The longer a character survives, the more Insights they accumulate. Even if the character perishes, the Insight build-up carries over to the next playthrough, eventually allowing players to amass the maximum Insight points for a character.

It's worth noting that each character can gain up to 15 Insight points, which may not be sufficient to maximize their Skill Tree. For players who mistakenly upgrade a skill or are unsatisfied with their Insight purchases, they can reset the Skill Tree by accessing the character's Skillset and selecting the Reset Insight option. This refunds all Insights, enabling players to reallocate them as desired. Notably, altering Skills does not impact existing playthroughs and only applies to new gameplay sessions.

The first Insight is obtained after surviving for five days, with the subsequent one requiring eight days. As Insights accumulate, the interval between each Insight lengthens. Ultimately, players need to survive for 15 days to obtain a single Insight, amounting to a total of 160 days to collect all 15 Insights in one go.
