Champion Points not unlocking new choices

chrisfowler99

I have allocated 10 Champion Points to The Tower. Ensnare, which says it unlocks after 10 points is flashing a bit, but I cannot allocate points.

I have allocated 10 Champion Points to The Ritual. Opportunist, which says it unlocks after 10 points is flashing a bit, but I cannot allocate points.

I have allocated 10 Champion Points to The Lord. Field Physician, which says it unlocks after 10 points is flashing a bit, but I cannot allocate points.

I am on a Mac if that makes any difference.

It's unlocked and fully functional after you allocate 10 points anywhere in the tree. You don't have to allocate any points to those passives. You unlock them just by spending points in the lower 4 skills.

I have spent the points, but it is not unlocking the higher choice.

This is happening with multiple characters.

fixed the image. Looks like their image upload and their image tags don't agree on this forum...

You don't have any higher choice. Each "tree" has 8 abilities. 4 of them can have points allocated to them. The other 4 unlock as soon as you have allocated enough points into that specific "skill tree". Your image wasn't showing, so I hope I understood correctly

fixed the image.

Four of them are unlocked. I have allocated 10 points to that tree. The one that says it will unlock at 10 points has not unlocked.

As someone else stated, you don't put points into them. There are only 4 abilities per each tree that you can put points into. Once you put in 10 points into any of the 4 skills in that tree, the first one automatically unlocks. You don't need to do anything else, and you can't put points into it.

I am having the same problem. I've got over 13 points in one of the skill trees total and got the "shiny" glimmer of the level 10 required skill opening up, but it will not let me distribute any points into it. I've submitted several trouble tickets but don't get any reply on them.

If it looks like it does in your screenshot.......

Sort of bright and sparkley it's unlocked

You can only put points into the lower 4, the upper 4 are simply unlocked and only have the single rank in them.

I had the same problem with the UI.

It was not obvious to me that I'd unlocked passive abilities. It's not visually clear. I'm told it follows a paradgim from other ES games but I've not played those game.

Soooo.....I kept clicking on unlocked passives thinking they were broken

The whole thing reminds me of a Moody Blues album cover....but, dang, I was hoping for an acid flashback to go with it.

Passive.... Frackin' brain-fart!... PASSIVE unlocks... No points needed directly in them, unlocked when I reach points enough in the bottom four primary skill options... DUH!!! Thanks ya'll. Now I'm clear on that. Sometimes ya need a cyber slap to the noggin to see clearly. lol.

Everything, once known, is obvious.

Some things are obvious first time they're seen .. such as the tooltips on the passives where there was no 'next point' info, making it abundantly clear they were PASSIVES!.

I really don't get why so many people just assumed these were supposed to be the same as the first 4.

I didn't realize they were passives either, so OP isn't alone. IMO the passive stars need to turn white when they unlock too.

I found it confusing as well, hoping to help others with this old thread bump. Took me a little bit to figure out it was unlocking passives, I thought it was to put points into as well, not passives lmao.

It does not help that we have to spend skill points on unlocked passives to gain their benefit.
