Atelier Ryza 3 Skill Tree breakdown

Returning to Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End and the Secret Key from the second installment is the Skill Tree. Just like before, you wont know a recipe or an ability's exact position on the tree until you've unlocked the prerequisite item, to help you navigate better and Spend your SP well, we've mapped the Skill Tree out for you. Here's a breakdown of the Skill Tree in Atelier Ryza 3.

Atelier Ryza 3's Skill Tree mapped out

There are four main branches of the Skill Tree. The upper branch starts with Medica Powder. It generally unlocks Crafting Abilities and Crafting Component Recipes. The lower branch starts with SP Gain +10% and subsequently unlocks Weapons and Armor. The right branch starts with the Onyx Blade Recipe. Most items in this branch are craftable battle items. The final branch, the left one, starts with Gathering Quantity Boost Level 1, and the rest of the branch is full of abilities that boost your gathering and staff collecting.

Skills are all unlocked with SP. There are two main ways of earning SP—performing synthesis, or gained as a reward from the end of Side and Random Quests. If you make your Atelier the Research Base type, you'll receive extra SP with each recipe you craft. You'll need plenty of SP to unlock all of these skill, so keep synthesizing items as often as you can.
