As you skill up with your runes/components/abilities, you unlock new runes just as you would have if there was no Path System. Quote: "Although a player may have to 'select' a Path, the player's progression with the Path System is automatic through use of path aligned abilities you do not have skill points to allocate like a talent tree.

These 'achievements' will be either entirely or the vast majority will be cosmetic type stuff." In practice, it is more like an achievement system than a talent tree. What this means is that if a player decides to go down one of the Paths for the Drengr, they are not prevented from going down other Paths at the same time. The biggest difference between Paths and the traditional talent tree is that in the Path System, the player is not locked into a specific Path, even into one they may have selected. The easiest way to think about the Path System is not as a forced 'talent tree' as has been used in a lot of MMORPGs, but rather a set of guidelines that acknowledges the progress a player has made in advancing their skill set, within a loosely-defined structure. Quote: "Paths are a 'soft' subdivision of classes, and give a player a way to further align their character with a particular set of powers and styles within their chosen class. At the same time, it must promote a strong archetype-based class system that also allows players to customize their advancement and character so they can be different from the next Drengr, if they so choose." Quote: "The Path System in general is intended to promote self-identification by the players, as well as better organization by the players within each Realm. Paths are not skill trees, and you do not spend points to advance in them rather, progression in a Path is automatic by using Path aligned abilities, components, and equipment. Players are not required to follow any Path, and will continue to unlock new abilities and components through use, separately from or in parallel with Path progressions. Rewards for progressing in a Path are currently discussed as being a mostly cosmetic ranking system, though Path-based Banes and Boons have been presented as an unconfirmed possibility. The proposed Path System primarily provides a road map to guide players in which abilities and components to learn and use, in order to progress further down a given Path. The Path System was first introduced with the Drengr class reveal and was detailed in the Drengr class concept document during the News update.
