What do you do with your skill points?

Put 1 point into sense heading to get it started (otherwise it doesn't seem to go up at all).

Then make a sense heading hotbutton or two and map it to your movement keys (arrows, WASD, or whatever you prefer).

Sense heading will be maxed within a few hours played time. Then remap the keys so you don't have you chat window filled with "You think you are heading ____" messages.

Just bind an often used key to sense heading, like left or right. Then every time you move, you'll sense heading and chance for a skill up. You should max it in just a couple days.

I dump a few here and there to bump up weapon skills that have been lagging behind (such as my 2HB, which I don't have a decent weapon for), dropping a few points into Divination (seriously, having only True North and a few other crappy spells with a longer recast delay sucks for raising it. And it goes up slooooow), and right now I'm sitting on a bunch of points so I can jack Alchemy up once I ding in a few minutes.

That's about it. Otherwise I just sit on my points and do nothing with them until I'm like "Oh hey I feel like leveling Smithing!". Might just save them for when / if I decide I want to do the Coldain prayer shawl quests when Velious eventually comes out to get my tradeskills upped.

You can only run trades up to 20? Has it always been like that?

[greatdane]

Yeah. Well, I think it's 21, but nevertheless working as intended.

I sort of thought that I put 50 points into smithing back in the day, but I must be wrong.

[Pyrocat]

Throwing, archery, intimdate, trade skills up to 21, lesser user combat skills... A rogue should skill up 1hb and 1hs, shaman should skill up 2hb and piercing .etc

[Mcbard]

I generally just put 1 point into everything and then save the rest.

[SupaflyIRL]

Research, because fuck that.

1pt in every language ftw.
