Old Ascalon, Sardelac Sanitarium, Serenity Temple. These places should have quests leftover for your secondary. Yak's may have some too...

If you switch secondaries, and then switch back to your original secondary again, do you have to re-purchase all the original skills, or did they stay with your character in a hidden state?

Arvydas · Sep 12, 2005, 08:54 PM // 20:54

they stay with you, as far as I know.

All skills you have been giving stays with a character, even if unusable. Say your a E/Mo and play through and get all the monk skills but then decide to change to a E/R. You can then go through and learn all those Ranger skills that you want.. and then decide to switch mack to monk.. you'll have all your Monk skills that you had before.

You never forget skills that you have aquired. when you change secondaries they just become unusable untill you switch back to that secondary. Also if your secondary was Ranger, you would not loose your pet if you swapedc - you wouldn't be able to use it as your not a Ranger at the time, but if/when you swap back to Ranger secondary your pet will be the same name, level, evolution, type, etc that it was before.

So, how many skills will have to be bought with a prof switch? 5? 20? 30? The skill point aspect is what I'm concerned about.

Well it really depends on what you're after in changing, doesn't it?

If you're a 'completionist' driven by the nead to UAS for all professions no matter the cost, then I would imagine the answer would be "all of them"; lots of skill points and plats needed.

If, on the other hand, you just want to switch things up for a little variety, then I would imagine the answer would be "as many as you like"; figure out which skills you want to use from your new profession and ignore the rest. Maximum 8 skill points & 8 plat required.

The trainer at Ember Light Camp sells every non-elite skill in the game now, so it's ridiculously easy to spend a couple of minutes browsing through the skills and deciding what's worth picking up.

This will help you figure out which quests will become available upon switching secondaries.

To the original poster:

Sadly enough there is no way around it. I also feel that 1k is quite a steep price per skill but I guess we'll have to live with that for now atleast. You dont want necro as a secondary for PvE warrior anyways. Keep monk and do some farming, that way if you decide to change to a necro you will have enough gold for the skills you will require.

If you go smite as secondary attribte line as W/Mo, you can quite easily take down hordes of mobs in a short time. Try going solo into some areas, gain enough adrenaline to throw us balthazar's aura and symbol of wrath and watch the drop like flies. In quite a few places I can make about 5p in like 30 minutes easily.

Don't forget the Secondary Quest(s) in Destiny's Gorge.
