Question regarding Sense Heading

[AimAce]

I was reading some older posts, and I just wanted to confirm here;

Does sense heading *require* a skill point to be put in to level? Is it an ABSOLUTE necessity? Thanks for answering.

[Zereh]

Yes, it is true!

I forgot to do that on my wood elf ranger and ended up getting ported to EC right after making her. I had zero skill-ups in Sense Heading until I went back to Kelethin at level 9 to get spells and was able to spend a training point for it. [You must be logged in to view images.

I'm pretty sure you don't need a point in it to get a skill up...It's just the first 25 or so points in it take a lot longer to get than 25-200 or so (in my experience).

But instead of arguing, i'll just make a level 1 sometime tonight and get the skillup without doing so.

It does not require a skill up. Just trillions of button smashes.

bind it to one of your left or right movement keys too.... that helps raise it fast

I can't claim that it definitely won't go up on its own, but this is exactly what I tried this last go around and after playing for several hours with my movement keys bound to sense heading and getting nothing...I gave in and just put a point in sense heading.

It takes a long time to get a skillup when you have no skill in it, but it will raise.

I don't even try to bother anymore. The 0-1 can take several hours, where if I train it I can have it halfway (or better) to cap in the the same amount of time.

Yea I'm kinda anal with *not ever spending skill points that I don't need to use*. Thanks a lot for the information guys, appreciate it.

The way to lvl sense heading is to allocate it to one of your movement keys...gains you 200 in not time.


Edit : or to all your movement keys for that matter.
