mehoo · Jul 07, 2005, 05:40 PM // 17:40

Hi all,

I'm almost through the game on my first Char... and i've started my second. But i don't really care about the plot exploring the world anymore, i just want to unlock skills so that i can play in PvP. Can anybody make any reccomendations for the quickest way in the game to unlock skills for Pvp?

Buy everything you can, carry 8 signet of captures, do all the skill quests, etc.

mehoo · Jul 07, 2005, 05:43 PM // 17:43

what do you mean "buy everythign i can?"

kleps · Jul 07, 2005, 05:43 PM // 17:43

he means buying from skill trainers.

watcher99 · Jul 07, 2005, 05:51 PM // 17:51

how can you carry more than 1 capture sig at a time?

arnansnow · Jul 07, 2005, 05:51 PM // 17:51

I don't know if you can carry more than one, and that way of getting a bunch of skills, was mostly a joke, anyways.

Right now, I think the fastest way, sadly, is to play all the way through with three different characters that cover all six professions between them (i.e. E/Mo, R/Me, and N/W). It's a lot of grinding, but I don't think there's a faster way to unlock skills.

The fastest way to get more skills is to keep making new characters, sprinting them to the skills that you need, and deleting them to repeat the process.

quickest way, first you need to do quest to unlock most of your skills than after gaining enough exp, you can get skill points which alllow you to buy skills that your character currently don't have.

you can carry 8 SoC's if you want to.

Just complete the game with multiple chars. Some people say just keep switching your secondary and grabbing the skills you need. If you know what you need that will work, if you're goal is just to unlock a bunch of stuff making new chars is the best.

You won't have the skill points to support trying to keep switching chars unless you know what you need which is usually more than 8 skills because you'll switch depending on what the group needs.

You can Carry 8 signets of capture, by buying them.
Goto Skill trader, and buy it 8 times,
On your skill list, u'll have 8 signets of capture - then equip each of them.
(NOT alot of use though i think).

Fye Duron · Jul 07, 2005, 07:34 PM // 19:34

There is no reason to equip 8 SoC at one time... the most you could use in any area I know is 2.

Forscience · Jul 07, 2005, 07:37 PM // 19:37

A N/Me could cap 6 unique elites in one trip to Perdition rock. It aint 8 but its pretty close
