I'm out of skill points! - Guild Wars Forums

Immortal Flame · Jun 14, 2005, 02:00 AM // 02:00

Ok...so I run a E/Me, and I buy every skill that I come upon, instead of choosing which to buy, since I thought that's what were supposed to do. Now I'm at Droknar's at lvl20 and I am completely out of skill points, and lvling is very slow. What can I do to get more skill points?

Sir Skullcrasher · Jun 14, 2005, 02:01 AM // 02:01

immortal, if im not mistaken, i thought that once your level 20. The character would still level up and get you more skill points.

Immortal Flame · Jun 14, 2005, 02:03 AM // 02:03

You are correct. But I'm lvling slower and slower. Soon it will take forever to get a skill point

Dragothel · Jun 14, 2005, 02:07 AM // 02:07

try going back and completing all of the bonuses on the missions(in case you havent)

Kha · Jun 14, 2005, 02:12 AM // 02:12

Go to UW/Fissure in Temple of Ages. Quests there give 10k exp. (Of course your world needs favor first.)

Immortal Flame · Jun 14, 2005, 02:19 AM // 02:19

O ok thanks for the xp tips. Question, was it wrong to buy every skill? Since I only used inspiration, would it have benefit me to only buy insp skills and not unlock the others?

Sir Skullcrasher · Jun 14, 2005, 02:21 AM // 02:21

i don't think you can buy every skills. Because some boss monsters have elite skills which can be capture by use the signet.

Oni No Arashi · Jun 14, 2005, 02:23 AM // 02:23

Heh... there are still missions after droknars, the Iron Mines and that, which also give skill points upon completion. Keep going, you'll get them.

6 skill points. Wow.

eA-Zaku · Jun 14, 2005, 02:41 AM // 02:41

Potentially six elites

I generally try not to buy any skills unless I'm sure I need it and it's not available for free through a quest.

True, but you shouldn't say anything that could remotely be promoting elite hunting

Immortal Flame · Jun 14, 2005, 03:37 AM // 03:37

Haha...guess I should be more frugal with these skill points.

Arkayne · Jun 14, 2005, 05:30 AM // 05:30

I think there's only 1 or 2 more places you can buy skills at after Droknar's Forge anyway, so don't sweat it too much. You may have to work for the last 5-10 skills or something to buy, and after Droknar's Forge theres more than 5 missions anyway which each give a skill point (not to mention bonus which gives another). If you've bought EVERY skill up to this point then you're probably doing pretty good.

Then you just have to worry about getting Capture skills to go and get your elites and whatnot. You may or may not have made it a little hard on yourself by buying skills that were probably rewards from quests but I doubt there's anyway to screw yourself completely.

CtrlAltDel · Jun 14, 2005, 05:33 AM // 05:33

lvl 20 here with 22 skill points

Immortal Flame · Jun 15, 2005, 02:58 AM // 02:58

Haha a hint to new players, go to the Serenity Temple. Just found out lots of skills I bought i could have quested for there.

Synxernal · Jun 15, 2005, 03:20 AM // 03:20

Heh, I haven't used my Skill Points yet.

Magick Catastroph · Jun 15, 2005, 03:38 AM // 03:38

Yeah i didnt even think about skill points until recently. I had 46 of them, so I went around to skill trainers and I have most of the skill they are selling.

So it seems to me like there are plenty of skill points to go around.

Khift · Jun 15, 2005, 03:52 AM // 03:52

I'm in a somewhat similar position with my W/E, except that I've only wasted two skill points on skills that could be unlocked through a quest. (And that, I believe, was due to a bug where the quest giver didn't show me the quest until after I'd already purchased the reward.) I'm still missing about 6 normal skills, plus another ~23 elite skills, with only three missions left to do, and I'm not really looking forward to grinding for 26 levels just to finish off this character...

On a similar note: If you switch secondary classes, do you have to acquire skills from your secondary class by purchasing them or can you possibly re-do all those skill quests listed here, even if you did those quests with your original secondary?
