Skill Cap of 250??

[macewindu34]

I have heard that the skill cap was increased from 200 to 250.

Is this true??

[Deft Aklin]

Unfortunately, the only answers you will get to this question will be rumors, as any self respecting Beta tester will not answer, not if they want to stay in Beta that is. Unfortunate, but until the NDA is lifted......

[sexxxy_mark]

yes its true, Q3P0 himself said so.

 

This is precisely why we give you 250 points though, so you have room to get those elite professions and the base skills under them.

 

this was from his posts answering questions on the official site...check the newspage of swg.net too...

[Jackrabbit]

One of the devs said 250 in a post today on the official site, and I've heard 250 before now. I thought it was always 250.

 

They also said starting credits are 250, but that's neither here ::points to ground::, nor there ::points to ceiling::.

*slaps himself*

Well, you can't blame me for not going to the official forums, I have no reason to anymore.

Welcome To SWGalaxies.net!!!

 

Im Zaius, welcome. Here are some basic rules for the forum.

 

1. Listen to Wraith, Jan and Darth Sidious

2. Be R-E-S-P-E-C-T-F-U-L

3. Never accept any chocolate gnorts from anyone. Treat it like you would unattended luggage in the airport.

4. Rent Planet of the Apes (best movie ever)

 

as for your question, yes it is true, the skill cap is now at 250.

[Lord_Vessen]

From the rumors I heard, it takes like 64 or something like that to master an elite.

[macewindu34]

Acutually it takes 63 skill points to master a profession.

[UnfrozenCaveman]

That doesn't add up if it takes 63 points to master a profession. The devs. said you could master 2.5 professions. 2.5X63=157.5 Besides, where are you drawing these numbers from anyways, and if it's from beta, maybe those are the numbers so they can see how it works to get master level, kind of like lower the limit so more people can get it. Ya know?

 

-Zauis, Mjollnir is going to come down hard on you

--Also, related to Zauis, you gotta see the Simpsons episode where one of Marge's sister marries Troy McClure...he is in the musical "Planet of the Apes".

 

EDIT: Which one Zauis, the old one or the new one?

[Jackrabbit]

Also, not every Profession will take the same amount of SP. The starting Professions probably will, for balance purposes, but each Profession has different pre-requisites.

 

Of course, I could be wrong. I haven’t found information that says either way.

[Lord_Vessen]

Sounds like you might be right.

[-=ReApEr=-]

Sounds good. It's better then 200 at least.

[Wraith 8]

i thought you could have like 3.5 professions in game? if you use all skill points that is

[setsuko]

Yes, 'approximately 3.5' has been the number all along...

[Dr. Zaius]

all I want to do, is at least master the armorsmith and the weaponsmith professions. I dont care about the skill points as long as I can master at least 2 professions.

I don't know if I'll be able to make my character with only 250 SP. I'll have to cut some things out of my plan (smuggling probably). 250 might be more than enough though; I'll just have to wait and see.

[UnfrozenCaveman]

Well, I was wrong 3.5 profs. I still don't understand the skill point buying system. When I look at the skill charts I don't see how much it "costs" to have the skill. I don't see it, maybe I'm dumb.

[DirtyWombat]

Sure...

I'll bite...

 

<slaps hornet's nest firmly>

 

250 points will never be enough...!?!?

 

 

Wombat

[Lord_Vessen]

Well, all I know is when we here how many we can master I will decide on my final professions, I hope we can master 3 or more.

[UnfrozenCaveman]

I know for one that I would like to master ranger and teras kasi, anything else, not sure.

[-=ReApEr=-]

I deffintley want to master Melee combat. And shooting combat, and a bit of scout will come in handy.

 

My long term aim, is to be a bounty hunter.

[Dark Moon]

50 more skill points? Doesn't sound bad to me! I want to try to master weaponsmith, armorsmith, and architect before I try anything else

[Krymelord]

I may be mistaken but...

 

I thought it was 250 SP for a while now.

 

Starting trees are approx 63 points to max. But enough points for 3.5 profs have been added.

 

For Example Dr Zaius wants to be a weapon/armorcrafter.

 

Starting prof Artisan (1 profession), Weaponsmith (2nd prof) and Armorsmith(3rd prof). This one works out well for Dr. Z because his starting prof relates to both his Advanced Profs.

 

In my case I have to mix and match a little more. I want to be a Creature Handler (Scout starting prof) and Carbineer (Marksman starting prof) I will not master either starting prof but only fill the trees that I need for advanced profs. For Creature Handler (2 of the scouts 4 trees), for Carbineer (still unknown but hopefully 1 or 2 of those trees.) With that in mind I am hoping to only use up 3 profs. Half Scout/Half Marksman(1 prof), Creat Hand(2nd prof) and Carbineer (3rd). Hopefully enough left to get some basic melee skills for the "dirty stuff".

 

The big thing is to remember 3.5 profs gang. Although argued as not enough by some, I am sure it will be enough for most. Just don't expect to be the best melee, sniping, armorer/cantina owner with a "black belt" in Tera Kasi. Or you could give EQ a second chance;)

 

[Jackrabbit]

I always thought it was 250 also. Oh well, now we know for sure. I'm still wondering about that 63 SP for starting professions though. Does anybody have a link, because I haven’t seen them say this anywhere?

[Lord_Vessen]

If its three professions we can master than I will most likely be Teras Kasi/Rifleman/Swordsman
