Titan Quest Mystic respec: skills, mastery bars and attribute limits
Understand what a Mystic can refund in the original game and what remains committed.
Edition covered
The original 2006 three-act campaign and its eight masteries. Images show Anniversary Edition scenes selected to represent the original regions. Dream mastery and Act IV come from Immortal Throne; Rune, Neidan and later expansion campaigns are outside this original-game reference.
Mystics refund individual skills

A Mystic can remove points from ordinary skills for gold. The service is useful for moving investment between abilities inside the chosen masteries, but it is not an unrestricted character reset.
| Investment | Mystic refund? | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Ordinary skill rank | Yes, for gold | Can move points to another skill |
| Dependent modifier | Yes, subject to dependencies | Remove before the final parent rank |
| Mastery bar | No | Confirmed bar points stay invested |
| Mastery selection | No after committing points | The class combination remains |
| Attribute points | No through this service | Strength, Intelligence and Dexterity choices remain |
The mastery choice remains committed
Once points are confirmed in a mastery, the original system cannot unchoose that mastery or refund its bar. Attribute allocations are also separate from ordinary skill refunds.
| Type | Behavior | Planning concern |
|---|---|---|
| Active skill | Used on command | Energy cost and cooldown |
| Passive skill | Benefits apply automatically | Conditions or weapon requirements |
| Modifier | Improves another ability | Requires its parent skill |
| Energy reservation | Reduces available maximum energy while active | Leave room for regular casting |
Remove dependent modifiers first
A base skill cannot lose its final point while a dependent modifier still has invested points. Remove the modifier investment before trying to erase the parent ability.
Keep a coherent damage plan
When reallocating, preserve a usable main attack and enough support to survive. A theoretically stronger later skill is not helpful if the character cannot afford its energy cost during ordinary fights.
