Icarus Talents Guide - December 2024

[@JohnSparenberg]

As far as I can tell, you didn't explain how respec points actually work. Are they one point = 1 point you can remove and place elsewhere, or is there some other way thay work?

[@benny9]

Sorry, I guess I take that for granted, my bad. Yeah, it's 1 respec point to get 1 of your talent points refunded.

[@JohnSparenberg]

@@benny9 Thanks, very much I have been playing since the beginning, but I've not gotten beyond level 30. So a LOT of knowledge up to then, but none after.

[@benny9]

@JohnSparenberg I have 500 hours. Still learning! Lol.

[@sythodius]

Commenting for engagement because a video of this quality and info Is criminally under watched and subscribed

[@benny9]

Thanks, really appreciate that!

[@QVCatullus]

Thanks for these, your videos convinced me to play the game and I've been using them when i get confused.

[@benny9]

Glad I could help!

[@andrecartario3099]

Great video as always, thanks! I always leave one exotic rock on my inventory so I have a 10% move speed bonus from that talent. It is one of the few ways to squeeze more move speed from the limited options we have.

[@benny9]

Ya know, I was going to mention that in the video and just forgot. Great tip!

[@rosstharp9008]

Really well done video, I am glad i found this channel.

[@benny9]

Started playing this game with my wife and having a blast. I really appreciate the work you are putting in to make these videos, I've learned alot.

[@benny9]

Happy to help!

I Love your videos man, very well spoken and great info. New Subcriber here.

[@StinkinBadgersGameRoom]

Great Vids! Clear, Concise (Mostly :P), and informative. Nice to have someone making vids that knows what they are doing and is taking the time to put together vids without a lot of fluff. You don't know how many creators I have seen put out tutorial vids on something, and I sit there and watch them trying to figure it out during the vid! Thanks for being smart! Earned my likes and a Sub

[@benny9]

I've seen so many of those myself and they drive me nuts. Lol I really appreciate the compliments. Thanks for watching and the sub!

[@WarLoard2013]

Both you and infinity have great guides

[@benny9]

Thanks, much appreciated!

[@Infinity.Gaming2023]

one thing to note: you dont need extra exp gain in solo talent tree when you reach 60, so you can respec those for something else

[@benny9]

True unless you're still trying to grind out those tech points. I'm still trying to max out my blueprints.

[@facema0076]

​@@benny9 so you can have the blueprint tree full? Or its a limit of points in that area to?

[@benny9]

@facema0076 I don't think there's a limit. But I'm not 100% on that. One of the guys in my group is over level 100 now and still getting points from what he told me. So I'm guessing it just keeps going.

[@EwenCameron-od3yf]

@@facema0076 I have every blueprint plus 550 extra points, there is no limit.

[@opamorlokh6836]

Thank you. Many of my questions are answered now.

[@benny9]

Glad to help!

[@F6Knight]

Love your vids, they've helped me a lot as a new player. You mention early on that you got 3 extra talent points possibly from a bug. Did you take the +3 talent points from the new frontiers DLC final mission into account?

[@benny9]

@@F6Knight thanks, glad I could help! I haven't done that mission yet so that couldn't be the reason. I actually noticed I had more points after doing some respec work. Handy done anything what in between to earn them. Others have reported this bug as well though it seems rare. It's not always the same number of points either apparently.

[@Lil-Bear82]

Thanks bud-keep'em coming

[@benny9]

Will do!

[@Infinity.Gaming2023]

Great guide!

[@benny9]

Thanks! Glad to know it's worth the time I put in. Appreciate it!

[@claireburr3718]

Thanks very much Benny! Any thoughts on a minmaxed build for speed running homestead mission? Happy mining!

[@benny9]

Interesting. That's one I've never considered trying to speed run lol. You need a ton of wood for that one so I'd go all in on the wood harvesting branch, that's probably the most time consuming aspect. Grab as many stamina boosts (max stamina and stamina regen) as possible, and then see what's available on the building tree with what points you have left. This is off the top of my head, not at my computer at the moment. Also having a good workshop axe and sickle would probably contribute a lot to speed.

[@claireburr3718]

@@benny9 yeah that is how i been getting through it in under 2 hours, im not sure i saw anything that made me go oh that would save time but yeah wood and stam

[@Dr.Geek-ZA]

I was hoping to see a analysis of each talent but at least you covered the ones you went with. I think for level 60 character, Stamina buff in Repairing is negligible as your food buffs give a ton on buffs.

[@benny9]

I might do that eventually. It would be a long video though. Or I guess I could break it up into sections. I probably could let go of some of those base stamina buffs but I'm starting a new open world prospect this week so I won't have that good food to start with.

[@qaisarkhan3346]

Bro how can I find Volcanic Biomes today i almost played 3h to 4h explore most of the map but i cant find😢

[@benny9]

Volcanic regions are only on the Prometheus map which is the New Frontiers DLC. If that's the map you're on, the volcanic area is in the North East part of the map.

[@qaisarkhan3346]

@benny9 then how can i find obsidian 🤔 without Prometheus map

[@benny9]

@qaisarkhan3346 Unfortunately, you can't. It's specific to that expansion.

[@qaisarkhan3346]

@@benny9 is that possible i can go Prometheus map in open world 🤔

[@benny9]

@qaisarkhan3346 you can't get there from Olympus. You need to have the New Frontiers DLC and then start a new open world game on the Prometheus map. I wish there was a way to go from one to the other but you can't at this time.
