Quote:There is NO cap on skill points - NO skill point cap per level and NO skill point cap for the life of your character. After you level your character to max (level 60), you can still continue to gain skill points by killing creatures.
While doing quests vs not doing quests might initially (in the first few levels) slow down your skill point gain, it will not in any way affect how many skill points you will be able to accumulate.
Furthermore, by questing and killing creatures you should have more than enough skill points to spend on attributes with points left over to spend on secondary skills. Questing was taken into account when the system was put into place. That's not saying that it won't need to be tweaked, it might .. and that's why we're all here.
Also, each "raw" 600 experience points gained from killing creatures goes towards another skill point. "Raw" means the base experience that you get from killing a creature, before they are modified by being well rested or fatigued.
Please continue to list your questions regarding this, I'm gathering up the answers as I can.

So you basically get 1 skill point for every 600 exp of monsters slain before any fatigue or level adjustments are applied to the earned amount. Play all the time with well rested characters and you will earn skill points slowly compared to how fast you level. Play character to exaustion and the skill points will roll in fast compared to the pace at which you level. With no cap on the earned skill points, that will mean that maximum stats and all trade skills can be learned eventually, it is just a matter of what you want to work on first.
Now if I can only get the client to run without immediately crashing, I might be able to see what some of this is like in the game itself.
