Skill points, redoing missions - many questions... - Guild Wars Forums

Jack Longblood · Jun 01, 2005, 03:53 PM // 15:53

I've ascended and I'm at Droknar's, and now that I've used up most of my skill points buying new skills, I'm searching for ways to get more skill points.

I know gaining exp will get me skill points, but what are the other ways? I haven't seen any new quests or missions, yet, that will get me some, though, I'm hoping they're coming.

One thing I was considering, though, was redoing missions. I noticed a while ago that you can redo missions, but do you get the skill point form the mission if you redo it? If so, is it really worth it?

Some of those missions take a while and if there are others in front of me, I'm certainly not going to bother.

Are there other ways of getting skill points I'm missing?

Thanks,

Jack

I don't beleive that you get anymore XP or skill points from redoing a mission. You just xp from killing the creatures. Think of it this way if you got the xp as well as skill points you could just stay in the very first mission till you are a god. Also you still have a few misssion left to do as well as quest. So join a group and explore.

You get skill points for leveling, completing the primary objective for a mission, rarely for completing a quest, and you gain 1 skill point every time your experience bar fills after you're level 20. You only gain a skill point for completing the primary objective of a mission the first time you complete that mission.

Spending skill points on skill trainers should be done on a must-have or last-resort basis. Probably 70% of the skills you can acquire can be done through quests in the various outposts throughout Tyria. As I remember, Signets of Capture also cost 1 skill point and some gold to purchase, and you will need these to gain access to the many elite skills in the game.

Since you're at Draknor's Forge, I'll assume you're level 20. At this point, if you've spent all of your earned skill points, the only way to gain more skill points is to defeat missions and "level." By "level" I refer to filling up your experience bar in level 20. The underworld has some 10k experience quests, but it's a pretty nasty place, and you'll need to take a group of friends with you when you go.

That's something I learned a little late in life. By the time I I got to Droknar's, I'd spent too many skill points on stuff I didn't need. This is my first char, so I went a little wild on this guy.

Also, since Lion's Arch I've also spent about 5 or 6 skill points on capturing skills from bosses with signets. Those were skill points well spent, though.

I guess, just a caution to noobs, spend those skill points wisely.

Thanks, all.
