Talent Quests

Most Talents are obtained by selecting them when powering up. There are a small number of Talents which are obtained outside this system, by completing quests.
Some of the Talents obtained this way are Echo Talents - a mechanic added in the Verse 2 update. After completing the quest once, all future characters created on the account will automatically gain the Talent upon reaching a certain power level.
== Echo Talents ==
===Engage and Critical Attack===
Engage: Landing M1 attacks restores your Ether. (+5 Ether, +1 Posture)Critical Attack: Landing a hit with your critical restores 30% of your posture. (+3 Health, +1 Posture)
Engage and Critical Attack come from the same quest, given by an Etrean Soldier named Arthur in Towerstruck Lands, at the entrance to The Garden Reservoir. He asks you to defeat a Megalodaunt, which frequently spawn inside the cave.
Upon defeating a Megalodaunt and returning to Arthur, you will gain the Engage and Critical Attack Talents, and automatically gain Engage at Power 3 and Critical Attack at Power 5 on all new characters.
===Aerial Assault===
Aerial Assault: You can now dodge in mid-air.
Aerial Assault can be obtained from a Pathfinder in Pathfinder's Respite, next to the Questgiver for the Glider Blueprint. After talking to him, he will ask you to gaze into the purple flame in the Temple Of The Forgotten Flame, which is above the bandit camp in Lower Erisia. The NPC's name is Ivory.
Note that you have to go into the building to access the purple flames, as the purple flames outside the building cannot be used. After interacting with the flame, returning awards the Talent Aerial Assault, which allows you to perform an advanced dodge mid-air allowing you to travel a bit in the direction of your camera. All new characters will gain Aerial Assault at Power 2. When entering the Temple, watch out for the Watcher at the top, which will spawn a Lesser Angel if he sees you.
===Thresher Scales===
Thresher Scales: You regenerate your armor at campfires. (+5 Health)
Thresher Scales is acquired from an NPC at the Starswept Valley, located at a dilapidated tower below the massive cliff that separates the Lightkeeper Temple and Deep Widow from the main Valley. Upon talking to him, he will ask you to kill a King Thresher, which can spawn randomly anywhere in the Starswept Valley or at a specific spot in the Lightkeeper Temple. Once you kill one, returning to him will get you Thresher Scales, and all new characters will get Thresher Scales at power 10. The NPC's name is Jessamine.
===Chain of Perfection===
Chain of Perfection: You deal more damage the more you hit an enemy without taking damage. (Up to 2x damage. Fall damage will remove all stacks.)
Chain of Perfection is obtained by defeating any boss without taking any damage. Getting hit by other sources including normal enemies or players invalidates it. This Talent makes PvE far easier as you get better at the game. The easiest method to obtain this Talent is via Cheese, or doing The Ferryman
If you have atleast 1 friend, you can use the cannons on a ship to kill the Primadon with a cheese method. The method is 1 player is spawning and baiting the primadon to 1 of 2 spot that have a rope to climb on. After the player baited the Primadon you (the one who need to unlock the Chain of Perfection) will use a boat with a cannons and shoot it from afar, there is a small lake below the bridge to the campfire to spawn the Primadon. Kill him with 100% damage only from you and have your friend just do nothing other than baiting him.
Note: You have to solo the Boss. If the boss that you are killing takes damage from a source that isn't the player trying to get the Talent, and said source is still active when the boss dies then it won't be rewarded. If a second player were to attack the boss but then die/leave, it will still count and the Talent will be rewarded. Second Note: If you have a friend helping you, as long as they don't hit the Primadon you can still get Chain of Perfection. They can get hit and it won't change anything.

Upon talking to him, you realize it's about how you punch them, and that you need to punch down five more trees to sufficiently research this. After you fell 5 trees, talking to him again will earn you the Talent, which allows you to gain wood from punching down trees.
