Animal Instincts | Highlights interactive plants and animals which can be hunted. | It is relatively useful skill. Plants can be found without problems, if you carefully explore all new locations. This skill helps during hunting but in fact you do not really need it. |
Survivalist | More XP for finding plants and harvesting animals. | It is worth to unlock this skill quite early, so right from the beginning of the adventure you'll get more XP for basic actions. |
Advanced Salvaging | Additional salvage points for finding salvage crates and caches. | It is a good idea to invest early in this skill, because further in the game you'll gain access to upgrades which require large quantities of salvage points. |
Bone Collector | Additional salvage points for harvesting hunted animals. | It is a good idea to invest early in this skill, because further in the game you'll gain access to upgrades which require large quantities of salvage points. |
Arrow Retrieval | Retrieving arrows through examining bodies of killed enemies or animals. | It is not a priority to quickly buy this skill, even if you like a bow. That's because during the gameplay Lara can find many arrow storages. |
Scavenging | Additional ammo through examining bodies of killed enemies. | It is not a priority to quickly buy this skill, but it can be useful in fights in the end phase of the gameplay, because it is hard to find ammo then. |
Climber's Agility | Increases climbing skill and decreases injuries when falling from high height. | You do not have to hurry with buying this skill, because Lara can easily cope without it.

Orienteering | Finding secrets hidden in the nearby areas. | This is quite useful skill, which could be bought quite soon even if you plan to find all secrets using this guide. |
Cartography | Discovering locations of all optional tombs and treasure maps. | If you plan to use this guide to find secrets, you can skip buying this skill. Otherwise you can unlock it at the end phase of the game. |
