Odin's Yule Father

[Mashee]

...so I may have derped while skilling up.

I ignored Yule Father in Odin's tree. Unfortunately the wording is a little vague. I don't quite understand what it's trying to imply.

"Double skill and reward +5%".

I understand +5% rewards. Presumably this is only applied at the end-screen.

I don't understand what +5% double skill could possibly mean.

Am I derp?

It means that there is 5% chance (10% if you max that skill) to get double rewards when you level up or open a chest. This mean if this skill activate, foe example, when you level up, after you make your choice of the God or Class skill, you get another selection (it's like you level up twice at once).
So this is a very good upgrade to unlock as soon as possible. But keep in mind, the chance is not high.

Just to add, when it does activate it's like you level up twice but you still only go up one level avoiding the increased xp if it had given you another level.

I think too on chests it might have 2 chances to activate, I'm not sure if it's either unintended or in the chaos of the few times it's happened there were actually 2 chests, but when I have chosen a god or class skill upgrade from a chest a couple of times it's given me 2 upgrades.

I have got chest to give rewards twice, and also there are time when I beat the 2 mini bosses at the same time, which 2 chests on top of each other, I got 3 rewards which mean 1 of the chest triggered this skill, so I'm pretty sure it does work on chest.

But remember that we level up a lot more than open chests, so the chance it trigger on level up is a lot more than open chest. So it might seem like you never see it triggered on chests.

Aaahh thanks guys. It has a chance to bring up the skill/buff choices TWICE from level-ups or world chests and miniboss chests.

...well that would have been an absurd boost had I understood...

This is a no-brainer skill group to choose early (for newish players). On Insane I'm usually level 30 before going to the boss, so the buff equivalent would easily bring the character up to a lvl 36 comparison (lots of chests amongst the expected +3 extra choices from 30 levels)

Amusingly I got insane done with the Flame Sister on Nifleheim 1st try after your confirmations of what Yule does...

On to the next map I guess. Thanks for the info. :)
