How you get it
No trainer level in the client data
The tables we read record no trainer level for Survival Instincts. That usually means it comes with another ability, a talent or a quest rather than a level-up visit to the trainer; we have not confirmed which in game.
In Season of Discovery, Survival Instincts was a rune engraved on gear. In Forever it is an ordinary Druid ability, one of 11 former runes the class keeps.
