Skill point max? - Guild Wars Forums

nunix · Oct 14, 2009, 11:54 PM // 23:54

I realised I currently have 99 skill points unspent.. and I'm wondering if I've been "losing" points because 99 is the max. -.- I.. just kinda forgot about them for awhile.

Kurald Galain · Oct 15, 2009, 12:01 AM // 00:01

No 99 definitely isn't the max. My Paragon currently has 442 unspent ones. And am sure there are people with more.

Edit: and i doubt there is a max.

Whew! Good to know. Thanks.

Covah · Oct 15, 2009, 12:21 AM // 00:21

there are people with 3000+ skill points. There is no max.

Eragon Zarroc · Oct 15, 2009, 12:56 AM // 00:56

the max would be a bunch more 9's if it even exists. like 999999 or something ;-)

Gboy Mesmero · Oct 15, 2009, 02:59 AM // 02:59

the max is probably the max integer value, which is about 2 billion

Aussie Boy · Oct 15, 2009, 04:11 AM // 04:11

613 unspent here so if it's 2 bill i have nothing to worry about. lol

I'd disagree with this. The number of skill points is stored in a certain amount of space that Anet allocates it, which would probably be 2^something.

Miss Sarah Lauren · Oct 15, 2009, 06:22 AM // 06:22

I have 2500 unspent skillpoints.....

Bob Slydell · Oct 15, 2009, 08:05 AM // 08:05

There are people with 10k+ skillpoints at this point, haha.

Zeff Nut · Oct 15, 2009, 09:04 AM // 09:04

I farm a lot with my monk in HM and have 2700+ skill points on him, no problems getting more yet

Tripolityx · Oct 15, 2009, 01:18 PM // 13:18

5,521 skill points here so yeah don't worry about the points =P

There are random hard limits on a lot of stuff

100 000 gold max on your person

999 999 (i think?) gold max in the xunlai chest

250 max per item stack (probably since 2⁸=256, but they did cut it down to 250)

Songbringer · Oct 15, 2009, 01:30 PM // 13:30

I agree with the integer theory. It is most likely stored in an integer variable which maxes out just over 2b.

yeah, it is all about the amount of units allocated

so yes 2 something sounds round about right. a lvl computing almost paying off xD

syntax__ · Oct 15, 2009, 03:06 PM // 15:06

4715 points here

Quaker · Oct 15, 2009, 05:24 PM // 17:24

Actually, it's quite possible that the skill points could be stored as a simple 2-byte value - that still comes out to 65,535 though.

(It's definitely more than 256.)

fretmelta · Oct 16, 2009, 08:12 AM // 08:12

do you all mean the skill points in the skills and attributes pop up window? mine do not go up at all since i hit level 20, or am i getting confused? lol

It's actually one million (or 1,000 platinum.)

There would be a theoretical limit of 1,048,576 using the same byte-space, to coin a phrase, but 1 mil is a nice, round number.

Nitpicking: 16,777,216(-1) would fit in same byte-space considering currently popular 8bit=1byte design.
