Cheapest way there

9 skill points from the nearest Spark, taking one level of each node on the way:

1. Strength Attribute, 1 pt
2. Barbarian's Path Passive skill, 1 pt
3. Constitution Attribute, 1 pt

A node opens when a link joins it to a Spark or to a node you have, whichever way the link points, and each level costs the node's points: the unlock check in the Enshrouded dedicated server's code (build 25988414, which matches the game's changelist 1269579). From level points alone (2 a level) that's character level 6; extra skill points from the world bring it lower.
