Its taking forever to get enough money to buy skills for all my heroes is there a faster way?.

Elite skills for heroes: the only way i have found is to change secondary to that class and use signet of capture is there any other way?.

Hero skill trainers (expending hero skill points on non-elite skills, available list based on trainer) or Balthazar faction to unlock on your account.

Make a PvP of each class, I think that the skills you get when you start are also automaticly unlocked.

Yes, once you have access to the Battle Isle's - can earn up to 10k Balthazar faction just doing the Zenshon (spelling off) stuff w/ npc.

There also the ultra quick (cost money) way, by of buying the pvp editions of GuildWars from within the online store, if you do this, Get Nightfall 1st, then Factions, then Original Guildwars (depending on how much you want to spend).

Zaishen battles are capped at 2k Balthazar Faction per day, but that's a relatively easy and simple method of gaining faction to unlock skills (any skill, elite or not, that is unlocked on your account is available to your heros). PvP against real players (Such as Random Arenas, Team Arenas, etc.) has no cap, so if you get into that you can gain Balthazar faction pretty quickly that way. Only requirement for PvE characters is that they be level 20 to enter any type of PvP arena.

As for elites, same thing, either unlock with Balthazar faction or use a PvE character to capture it (Switching secondaries works if you don't have a character with the matching primary profession, you get xp and likely loot this way too (from killing things on the way etc)...for elites later in the game however, you'll probably want to unlock them with faction.).

Oh, a nice bonus about getting skills with Hero Skill Points: If the skill you unlock is of the same profession as your primary or secondary, your character learns the skill as well.

Aspenwood will do the trick, if you need Kurz/Lux faction as well. Otherwise go play some Random Arena's or other PvP missions to get Balthazar faction.

No, they're loaned, not unlocked.

Your character has always learned the skill, regardless of profession.
