Note: Would love some screenshots of higher levelled shaman trees. Send them in if you can ^^

Forgive the formatting. Don't use these forums much.
Guide under continuous edit as more information is unvelied.


Confused? Too much going on? Breaking it down.

Shamans can go from level 1 to level 100. (Starting at Level 1.) You need to gather experience to level up.


The two methods to get experience are:

1. Collecting cheese. Each cheese you bring back to hole gets you 20 experience. Racing cheese counts. NO CHEESE FROM SURVIVOR. Minigame cheese doesn't count. (Thunderai proposes that only an actual increase in cheese stat gest you experience, increase in shop cheese doesn't.)
You get experience for getting cheese even in a room with 2 mice.

2. Saving mice in your shaman turn.
Level 1-30
Each mice earns you 3 experience in normal mode for up to a max of 25 mice. So, max 75 experience per shaman turn in normal mode.
Each mice saved earns 6 experience when you are on hard mode. So max 150 experience per shaman turn on Hard Mode.

Level 30+
Each mice earns you 5 experience in normal mode for up to a max of 25 mice. So, max 125 experience per shaman turn in normal mode.
Each mice saved earns 10 experience when you are on hard mode. So max 250 experience per shaman turn on Hard Mode.
Need at least 3 mice in a room for shaman skills to appear and to get experience.


Every time you level up, you get 1 point to spend. Presumably this means you can have a max of 99 points. These points can be spent to buy skills.

To access the skills menu, go to Menu - Skills.
You can read a description of each skill by hovering your mouse over it.


There are three skill trees. These are NOT specializations. You can opt for skills in all three trees. They are more like a convenient way of grouping the abilities according to what they do.

Spiritual Guide (Green) - Helping

Most abilites are related to helping mice complete the map. Such as bigger cheese, revive etc.
Final Ability: Cloud summoning.

Wind Master (Blue) - Boosts

Most abilites are related to boosts for the shaman itself. Such as increase in shaman speed, decrease in shaman mass etc.
Final Ability: WINGS. WINGSSSSS. \o/

Mechnician (Red) - Building

Most abilities are related to improving the shaman items. Such as more balls, better runes etc.
Final Ability: Increase spawn range by 30%.


If I feel like it, I will do a list and basic descriptions of each ability in the second post.


You start at the bottom of every skill tree. To activate each new row, you need to spend 5 points.

So to activate 2nd row, spend five points. To activate 3rd row, spend 10 points. Distribution of points doesn't matter. It can be 6 points in first row and 4 in second row. That will still unlock the third row.

http://gyazo.com/bae0f2f36338750fe5f13ade494dbdea - Level 100


Anyways, this is what the maths says.
To get the top ability in any tree, you need 26 points (Level 27).
To get ALL THREE top abilities in each tree, you need 78 points (Level 79).
To unlock the WHOLE of one tree, you need 66 points (Level 67).
You CANNOT max out all the abilities.


To reset the points you spent, click on Redistrubute. Redistributing the points means you can choose your abilities all over again. (Costs 1 cheese per point you have.)
You can redistribute only once per 10 minutes.
(Clicking on it won't automatically take away cheese. It asks for confirmation.)

(Guide originally made for Crossing Borders. Wang Wang.)

Reserved because YOLO.

bless u noobdahill <3

Tnx for that¬

wow this information is amazing good job

CB best tribe.

But yeah, real nice guide here Hob.

How do you know the levels?

Basic Progression. Difference in exp required for each level increases by 2 every time.

Also, thanks <3

Thanks for the information.

Best Hobs<333

Cb for life

nvm...

ten points spent unlocks next set it isnt 5 per levels
6 on first level and 4 on second works fine

Oh Okay! Thanks Pik <3

hmmm still a bit confusing, but helpful. Thanks hob

Let me know what is confusing, I will edit it to make it as simple as possible. I had important stuff in bold on my private tribe forums thread but this forum ugh :s

I think the information given is great I just need to actually use it and I haven't sham'd yet so I just need to get used to it I suppose haha. Could maybe put *'s next to important things.

Uhh and the whole redistributing thing confuses me.

[Sentinel] Merged - please edit your posts, rather than double posting, with this button under your name/avatar:

This looks awesome.

gj hobo :*

To redistribute you pay the amount of cheese you pay is one less than your level(or cheese per point) and you get all your levels back to rechoose stuff. That's basically it alyssa :p
