Lord_Vessen Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 I know that this question might be unknown but I just have to ask, how will skill points for proffessions be earned? Will it kind of be like Final Fantasy 11? Where you are an apprentice and you get points when you get better. Or do you earn them in battle?

Thew Rydur Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 I belive it works like this: You get experience for doing things (combat, crafting, etc.) and then you buy skills with it. If i remember correctly higher level skills will require some type of training from an NPC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Sinn Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Yep, thats how I understand it. Also, each skill point earned is specific to the particular skill you used to earn it- to get better at shooting, you have to shoot, etc. JS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Gaarni Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 I understood it like this: You have a preset of (example) 200 skill points. That is max that your character can ever have. With these skillpoints you choose a level you wish to advance to. For instance (simplified): You put 50 in Shooting, 30 in Driving, 20 in Outdoorsmanship, 50 in Blaster Maintainance, and 50 in Piloting. Now, you have not actually reached this level yet. You have only set the goal of advance. Once you reach 50 points in shooting, you cannot get any more skills. If you want to be better at that, you will have to take out 20 points (example) from Blaster Maintainance and put it under Shooting. You can then continue to practise with your shooting and advance another 20 points worth of Shooting skills as you fire the blaster. Anyone who knows better, please correct me if i'm wrong.

Lord Helmet Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 im not sur about that jan.... You get experience for doing something....keep in mind there are differnt tpes of experiencee....if you kill something with a blaster you ge blaster xp...when you get enough you can go toa trainer...and then if you have enough skill points and money you can buy a skill in blaster tree...a low one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Gaarni Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 Aaaah, so THAT's how babies are made. Anywho, that sounds complex to me. Guess I'll just have to wait and see for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Helmet Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 For you! I'm gonna put it in laymens terms! ok I'll start from scratch There are different types of Xp unlike games like Diablo 2 where you whenever you killed something you gained universal xp(experience points). Lets say you craft something, well the more people use your crafted item the more CRAFTING xp you get, so you can not advance in blaster areas just beacuse you get experience crafting. Once you accumulate enough experience in the field of which you want to advance in, you can go to a trainer and then they train you and you recieve a skill in that area of your choice(and then you have to get more xp to get another skill) or whatever they have available that you can actually learn. It costs money too! Keep in mind each skill costs different amounts of skill points, and you only start off with set number. And when you "unlearn" skills you lose the skill and do not get back experience or money. Understand? Good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Gaarni Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 So, in essence, you don't get any better at anything until you have bought more skills? That sounds retarded to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Helmet Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 The only way to get new skills is to go to a trainer...so essentially thats the only way you get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Gaarni Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 And hide under the dishwasher when the sandpeople makes drivebys! Don't you mean ridebys? The only way to get new skills is to go to a trainer...so essentially thats the only way you get better. So learning a skill is like an apprenticeship or something then? That sounds more realistic. I think I'm getting it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
