Getting all skills by quests - Guild Wars Forums

Woutsie · Mar 06, 2006, 06:19 PM // 18:19

I'm just wondering if its possible to get all skills for your profession just by doing the quests? I am a Warrior now for a very long time and I'm only missing a couple of skills (like 5, without the Elites)... So, is it possible to get all skills by doing the quests?

I don't believe so. I am usually very thurough about doing all quests along the way and always wind up having to buy a few at outposts.

Even when I buy every non-quest, primary along the way, by the time I end up in emberlight there are usually 3-5 that I still have to buy.

And we won't even mention elites.

No, some skills can only be bought at skill trainers, others can only be learned through the use of a signet of capture on a deceased boss.

Almost a sure NO from me.

i dont think they have a quest for every skill.

side note

you can SOC high level regular skills much earlier in the game to enjoy them earlier rather than waiting until the end to get them

I've just been making lists of where to get all the skills and no, you can't. For each class you can get around 30+ (rough guesses here, I've been writing a lot down lol) from quests, another 20ish are only available from skill trainers and then the rest are Elites which of course need capturing.

guild wiki is the site i've been using to check this info btw; go to skills>quest rewards to see which skills are quest; all others are buying or elites.

Review the skills offered at Grendich Courthouse, Ice Tooth Cave, Ascalon Settlement, Maguuma Stade, etc. You can indeed get quite a few skills from questing, but there are at least 15-20 skills that you will need to purchase from trainers. Not to mention SoC purchases for elites.

But hey, what else were you gonna do with all of those skill points?

This page has a breakdown of what skills are available through quests, as well as which ones you can get through purchase or Signet of Capture only.
