Neverwinter Blog Details a Unified Boon UI & Boon Tiers
Most notably, the team recognized the need for a unified UI to show all Boons on a single interface. In addition, Boons have now been grouped into five Tiers, with each tier offering more options "allowing you to invest points into the boons you feel most benefit your playstyle or build".
"Above Tier 5 is a section labeled Master Boons":
These represent boons that do a bit more than just give passive bonuses. These boons are similar to the boons you would find on the right or at the top of our current boon windows. Master boons are limited to one. Which means that you can invest points in one at a time. Each rank increases the strength of the boon and may add some additional functionality.
So how do you unlock master boons? Like the rest of the tree by simply spending points. But unlike the other tiers master boons do not cost a boon point. They are a bonus choice you get for investing in the rest of the tree.
Get a good look at the new Boon UI and system by visiting the Neverwinter site or down below.
Boon Tiers:
Boons are now grouped it tiers as shown below
This header indicates the tier of the boons within that group. Boons have 5 tiers. Each tier requires a minimum amount of points be invested before they can be used. With each new tier more options become available allowing you to invest points into the boons that you feel most benefit your playstyle or build.
Tiers 1 through 4 have no limits on where you invest points, however if you look closely at the tier 5 group you will notice something:
This tier you can invest points in two selections up to their max. So, using the main screen above for reference, you can invest a maximum of 8 points in tier 5 and it can only be spread across 2 of the boons that are available, each having 4 ranks.
The number to the left of each tier indicates the amount of points needed to unlock that tier.
