Druid's unique class mechanic is the Spirit Animal system. Spirit Animalslocated in Skosglene, will provide the player with a variety of boons to choose from depending on which spirit animal they are associated with. Druids will be able to choose one boon from each Spirit Animal they have unlocked. These benefits can be replaced at will. Once druids have unlocked all four Spirit Animals, they can choose a second boon from one of the Spirit Animals for a total of five buffs.
