I don't know my item unlocks right now, but I can tell you the rest.

Total hours: around 400
Hours spent PvP: around 100
Number of skills left to unlock: 25 (courtesy of some jam-packed skill point- making sessions). So yeah, UAS isn't too big a deal for me.

Skill points: Well, I had 4 lvl 20's, I did all the skill quests, and all of my characters have 1 or 2 skill points left, so you do the math. All I have to say is that I can do the pve missions blindfolded, and they got pretty tedious at around pve char #3.

The more numbers I begin to see, the more the truth comes out

420 hours played.
All skills unlocked.

9 runes locked (repeat rate was too high to continue Ettin genocide, will faction the rest)
6 upgrades locked
1022 faction left, didn't track what I spent but it was zero for skills.
Faction unlocks were limited to a few max upgrades.

There isn't nearly enough PvE content to obtain the skill points required for UAS through anything resembling normal play. I did every skill quest in the game for every profession, ascended four characters (doing missions with each up at least the Ring of Fire), and still had to farm XP (scarabs/golems/underworld) for skill points.

I probably spent almost 250 of my 420 hours played unlocking skills. I'm sure it can be rushed a lot faster, but still... That's an awfully long time.

385 hours 28 minutes in the last 3 months

114 skills to unlock
24 runes to unlock
57 upgrades to unlock
14,000 out of 15,984 faction spent

Im currently on my 4th pve character, this time doing all the skill quests. The first character I made, I pretty much bought all my skills, which made it hard to get anymore skill points.

I've pretty much spent all my faction on runes that I needed and staff heads, since I pretty much only play monk when we gvg. I also have all the decent monk skills that I need for gvg.
