Can I put my skills in now? Question on skills.


Recommended Posts

Guest Meokka

I noticed it said that the skills were under construction so can I pick my skills now or do I wait still?

Also I noticed some skills have a 'cost' vs 'rank'. Now does the cost mean how many points I need to put into it to get that skill? Also not everything seems to have a 'cost'. 

I know I have 2 points to allocate so if something with a cost of 6, that means I can't get that skill yet right?

 

Sorry for the question if it's stupid. Thanks for the help!

You can in fact put your skills in After your journal is approved

Most skills have a cost depending on if it has ranks or not

Skills with ranks cost (rank trying to obtain * 2)sp

Skills without ranks cost 6 sp

And you cannot skip ranks. So to get rank 3 block (6sp)

U have to first get rank 1 (2sp) and rank 2 (4sp) first

Sure, you can allocate your skill points now!

 

So think of it like this,

 

Skill Straight Sword has 5 ranks, each doubling in cost.

Rank 1 = 2 Points

Rank 2 = 4 Points

Rank 3 = 6 Points

....

 

So for you to get to Rank 1 in Straight Sword you'd need to spend your two skill points. (You can spend 1 point, but you won't get the first rank bonus until you've invested two points.) Then you would start Rank 1 with 0 points invested towards Rank 2. So after investing another 4 points, your Straight Sword skill will rank up to Rank 2. Then after investing another 6 points, you'll be at Rank 3.

 

This would be different from a skill like Athleticism, which has no ranks, but requires [costs] 6 points to acquire. So you would need to acquire all 6 points and spend them all at once to learn that skill.

 

Some skills don't have a cost or have ranks, such as the Extra Skills Concentration and Disguise, these are acquired through completion of the appropriate quest, which is listed in The Skill System guide with that particular skill description.

okay thanks I think I get it now! 

I was also wondering if there was a weapons list for basic weapons 

I'm trying to figure out the perks to having a 1 handed spear over 2 handed. I mean one should be able to equip a shield and I'm assuming the two handed spears out power the single handed spear. I like numbers for these things.

I was also wondering if battle healing could be used on another player or if it's for your own health as a passive skill or an activated skill.

2h weapons have no added benefits as of now

battle healing only works on yourself, and its a passive. Every time you roll 10 or higher on the craft die, you heal X amount with x being the skill level

okay. Well that's a downer that it doesn't have bonuses compaired to the single handed. Well I'll go with my character and still use the two handed one even if it jilts me by not allowing me added protection. I'll just hope that one day it changes n_n

Thank you all so much for explaining things. Just one more question. I may have skimmed past the answer I'm looking for. The weapon skill ranks. What would the equation look like when factoring it in? Sorry for all the questions I just want to do this right. Thank you for your time and patients. 

Edit

 

I think I figured it out. Just add 1 or the rank number after the total. Just seeking confirmation on that. Once I get it then this topic is closed.
