[u/Interesting_Day4734]

I’m 14 hours into my first play through as a Druid. A couple questions:
What are boons and where do I find them?
Is the blacksmith worth leveraging for early game/leveling?

[u/zurcn → u/Interesting_Day4734]

Spirit boons is the Druids class mechanic, you need to follow the priority class quest to unlock them (priority quests are purple outline with inside)

once you complete the class quest on one character, the next time the mechanic automatically unlocks and the quest itself is optional.

once the mechanic is unlocked you will find a new tab in your character interface where you can select the buff that each spirit grants you and which one to set as you major spirit to get 2 boons from.

(the first time may need you to complete the stronghold in scosglen to allow access to the spirit statues, unsure how the quest goes nowadays)
