What do you do with your skill points?
I never really knew what was best to do with them back in the day and still don't now.
I remember training archery with them on my Paladin once.. Didn't help as much as I had hoped... I am thinking about saving some time and using them to up my blacksmithing. Only reason I hesitate is because you can't get them back.. What do you all use them for? | ||

They're really only good for raising skills that raise slowly on their own, or languages. You can only skill up to 21 (I think?) on any trade skill so don't hesitate to use them for that.

You can only train a tradeskill up to 20 or something. Skill points just sit around, really.

1 point in anything that needs 1 point, then hoard them like they mean something.
with plans to train languages one day then never do it.

If you're an INT caster, you can use them to raise Research to its maximum (getting it to 200 costs several thousand plat, though you can get it higher too). This is costly, but much faster than any other method and probably worth it.
Otherwise, I tend to spend them on starting up tradeskills and putting 1 point into languages. They're not really of much use.

For monks, I'd suggest saving them up, spending one as needed for new skills, then dumping them all into Intimidation (which otherwise takes forever to raise).

Sense Heading seems to take forever to go from 0-21 normally so I always use 20 points for that.

I use them a lot actually, but it depends on the character. Estu gave a great example above. For a low lvl monk for example I dump everything into mend because it sucks at the beginning. I also use them for weapon skills if I get a new weapon but my skill is still too low. I also tend to put 1 point on everything because I don't like to have any skills at 0.

Thanks.
Guess skill points just aren't that exciting. I will use them to get tailoring up if I ever get smithing to the point where I need padding I guess. And I do plan on researching with my mage so thanks for that tip. | ||
