Castoran Survivalist

5 tiers Total 21 MP Main use: Stealth travel and event rewards

Improve your survival in Castora with stealth travel, gathering bonuses, and better event rewards. Unlock this track by completing Unscheduled Departures.

1
Stealthy Survivor1 MP
Use a Survivalist's Supply Stash while out of combat to gain stealth. Required for Beneath the Canopy. Tier 5, Combat Maneuvers, lets you use stashes during combat too.
2
Resourcefulness3 MP
Gain a chance of extra map-specific resources from Castoran gathering nodes.
3
Lucky Shield4 MP
Survivalist supply stashes grant Lucky Shield. At low health, it gives maximum barrier and reduces your healing skill's current cooldown.
4
Natural Abundance5 MP
Earn bonus chests from events in completed Castoran heart areas, as well as Castoran champions, meta events, and world bosses. The daily limit is 20.
5
Combat Maneuvers 8 MP
Use Survivalist's Supply Stashes during combat, with a shorter stash cooldown. Lucky Shield fully restores your health when it activates.
Start with tier 1, Stealthy Survivor.
You need it to continue Beneath the Canopy, so it is the first priority when following the story.

Skimmer Adaptation

4 tiers Total 10 MP Main use: Underwater skimmer travel and repeat dashes

Adapt your skimmer to Castora with diving, repeated dashes, and ley-line travel over water. Complete Wavehawk Fundamentals during Solid Ground to open the track.

1
Advanced Hydrodynamics1 MP
Dive on your skimmer. If you also have PoF's Skimming the Depths, gain faster ground movement and three seconds of stealth when entering or leaving water. The stealth cooldown is 30 seconds.
2
Castoran Intuition2 MP
Tap Barrel Roll to dash without dismounting; hold it to attack and dismount. Use Aetherlocation to detect nearby threats and hidden underwater treasure. Required for Truths Unearthed.
3
Convergent Evolution3 MP
Use Slipstream Boost for faster travel and hold the hover key to rise higher. Water Jets can attack enemies or support allies in front of you.
4
Riptide Rider4 MP
Ride ley lines over or under water, and use updrafts. Barrel Roll lets you leave a line early.
Train tiers 1–2 early.
Tier 1 unlocks diving; tier 2 is required for Truths Unearthed. Prioritize these two to continue the story.
Combines with PoF's Skimming the Depths.
If you trained underwater skimmer travel in PoF, pairing it with Advanced Hydrodynamics adds faster ground movement and stealth when crossing the water surface.

Wild Castoran Magic

6 tiers Total 22 MP Main use: Magic resources and rewards

Find Magic Mirrors and use Key Charges to open hidden chests. This track reduces chest key costs and improves event rewards, with Magic Find and map markers at the final tier. Unlock it by completing Truths Unearthed.

1
Secrets Unearthed1 MP
Complete Magic Mirror challenges to reveal nearby hidden chests. Events and veteran-or-higher enemy kills grant Key Charges to open them.
2
Lingering Magic2 MP
Gain Key Charges on your first entry to each Castoran map each day. Completing a VoE meta event or world boss refreshes this effect.
3
Efficient Magic3 MP
Spend fewer Key Charges to open chests, and gain more heart progress from renown events in Castora.
4
Obscured Riches4 MP
Gain a chance of extra rewards from chests revealed by Magic Mirrors.
5
Prosperity Unending5 MP
Improve event reward chests and earn Key Charges from completing Magic Mirror challenges.
6
Residual Mirror Magic 7 MP
Complete a Magic Mirror to gain a Magic Find bonus that applies in Castora. Revealed hidden chests are also marked on the map after the challenge.
This track focuses on rewards.
If you open Magic Mirror chests often, spend 6 MP through tier 3 to reduce key costs. Tier 6 adds Magic Find and map markers. Train toward the rewards and exploration tools you want.

Rift Amplification

4 tiers 14 MP total

Travel quickly to rifts and contribute Motivations to increase their difficulty and rewards. Tiers 1–2 apply in Castora; tiers 3–4 extend those features to rifts elsewhere.

Complete So It Is Written, read the letter, and speak to Vanak Faithwalker in Shipwreck Strand or Leyspring Hollows to unlock the track.

1
Rift Tears 2 MP
Scan for a rift with the Heart of the Obscure, then interact with a Rift Tear in Castora to reach an active rift. You cannot use another tear for 30 seconds afterward.
2
Overcharged Rifts 3 MP
After the first event at a Castoran rift, contribute Motivations of the relevant tier to overcharge it. Once enough are contributed, a stronger boss appears with extra rewards.
3
Tearing Across Tyria 4 MP
Use Rift Tears outside Castora to travel to active rifts.
4
Overcharge Tyria 5 MP
Contribute Motivations to overcharge rifts outside Castora too.

For rift travel, start with tier 1 for 2 MP. Travel outside Castora needs tier 3, costing 9 MP cumulatively. All four tiers cost 14 MP.

Suggested priorities and tips

Train the survival and skimmer tiers needed by the story first, then invest in map rewards or rift hunting.

  1. Castoran Survivalist tier 1 (1 MP): Stealthy Survivor is required for Beneath the Canopy, so train it first.
  2. Skimmer Adaptation tiers 1–2 (3 MP): Diving makes travel easier, and tier 2 is required for Truths Unearthed.
  3. Further Castoran Survivalist tiers: Spend 13 MP through tier 4 for event rewards. For combat stash use and Lucky Shield's full heal, reach tier 5 for 21 MP in total.
  4. Wild Castoran Magic (22 MP total): Tier 3 costs 6 MP cumulatively and lowers chest key costs. Tier 6 adds Magic Find and hidden chest map markers.
  5. Skimmer Adaptation tiers 3–4 (7 more MP; 10 total): Unlock Slipstream Boost, Water Jets, updrafts, and ley-line travel.
If you already have PoF's Skimming the Depths
Combine it with Skimmer Adaptation tier 1 for faster ground movement and stealth when entering or leaving water. The VoE track also works independently if you have not trained the PoF track.
Speak to Vanak to open Rift Amplification.
After So It Is Written, read the letter and speak to Vanak Faithwalker at Dark Leviathan Waypoint in Shipwreck Strand or Hall of Assemblage Waypoint in Leyspring Hollows. Rift travel starts at tier 1; travel outside Castora needs 9 MP through tier 3.
