What do with skill points? - Guild Wars Forums

I have 109 skill points and I know there are some items you can trade them for. I don't really need the points so I was wondering if I should cash in on my skill points? Is there a best item that requires skill points that is easy/profitable to make a lot of?

Craftable Consumables from EotN require you to use skill points.

What some people do is buy the materials needed then craft the items and then sell them to players, mainly farmers or people doing Elite areas.

Often people will simply craft ConSets or BUs. Since feathers are easy to farm you can farm the feathers, buy the iron ignots in stacks and then craft BUs.You can then sell the BUs to other players. You will make some profit, not as much as you'd get from farming or powertrading, but if you're looking for some lazy cash and are willing to invest some cash yourself, go for it. Same goes with ConSets, You might make slightly more, but you'll laso have to invest slightly more if you're not farming the mats yourself or even some of the mats.

I have over 700 on my rit (and I know other people have many many more), like Kosar said, I use them to craft EotN consumables. That's about all they're good for.

Yeah I spend mine on Consets and occasionally Perfect Salvage Kits, except I farm all the materials except feathers then buy those: dust, iron and bones are all abundant in FoWSC. I still accumulate skill points faster than I can use them so I'm just waiting until I get 1337 so I can take a screenshot, unfortunately I forgot to take one when I reached 1337 earned

The thing about selling consets is that almost everyone else has a surplus of skill points as well, so after you gather all your materials and craft them, odds are that the profit margins are going to be very low, especially considering the time spent gathering and crafting.

Too many people have too many skill points. They will likely sit in your account forever.
