You’ve spent hours in No Rest for the Wicked, carefully allocating every stat point, only to realize your build plateaus against a particular boss. The frustration is real—the perfect build suddenly feels anything but. Thankfully, Moon Studios allows players to respec and reset their character builds, offering a clean slate for experimentation.
It’s true, the process is fairly straightforward, but it does require a bit of dedication to reach the necessary in-game location. This guide will walk you through the process of respeccing in No Rest for the Wicked, particularly with the changes introduced in the Together update.
How to reset your stats in No Rest for the Wicked
We all make mistakes, especially when theorycrafting a new build. The tool you need to respec your character and reset all stats is the Respec Totem, craftable within the Cerim Crucible.
- Continue through the main campaign until the Cerim Crucible is available. Don’t ignore those side quests; some offer valuable rewards.
- Once the Crucible is open, go to the Atrium and initiate the blood sacrifice ritual.
- Enter the Crucible and fight through all the waves until you reach floor five.
- There, you’ll find the Crucible vendor, who sells various upgrades, including the Respec Totem.

- The Respec Totem is purchased using Gloamseeds Currency. This is earned by defeating enemies within the Crucible.
What are the best builds to respec *to* in No Rest for the Wicked?
Experimentation is the lifeblood of ARPGs. Consider builds centered around specific weapon types (swords, daggers, hammers), elemental damage (fire, lightning, poison), or class skills. Don’t be afraid to respec multiple times to find your groove; consider each attempt like tuning a guitar—small adjustments yield big results. Communities often share builds, but remember that what works for one player might not be *your* perfect fit.
How to use the Respec Totem in No Rest for the Wicked
Finding the right strategy in No Rest for the Wicked is about more than just stats; it’s about feel. After acquiring it, the Respec Totem will appear near the Crucible pit. Interact with it to begin the stat reset process. Completing the respec requires spending Fallen Embers.

You can respec as often as needed by repeating these steps. This provides the freedom to adapt your playstyle in No Rest for the Wicked and minimizes the risk of being stuck with a poorly optimized build. It’s like having an eraser for your character sheet.
What happens if I run out of Fallen Embers?
Fallen Embers are a common drop from enemies and can be found in chests throughout the game world. If you’re consistently short, consider revisiting earlier areas or farming specific enemy types known to drop them. Adjusting your build to focus on item drop rate can also improve your Ember income.
Does respeccing impact my character’s progression in any other way?
Respeccing only resets your stat points. Your character level, acquired skills, and equipment remain untouched. This allows for fine-tuning your build without losing overall progress. However, be prepared to rearrange your skill points and re-familiarize yourself with a potentially new combat style.
