Patch 1 we will reset ALL stanzas and restore skill points for all skills. This is because we're changing the costs of a large number of stanzas.

What exactly does this mean?

.... what is that about?

Holy Kami Crap!

I imagine it will be like this (ill use a simple example)

You are currently fight 1, offensive Magic 31, Defensive Magic 26, Craft 1 harvest 1. You have 5 Magic SP left to spend.

When you log in after Patch 1, you will still be the same level in all your skills, but you will have NO stanzas or bricks or plans or anything, but you WILL have all the equivalent skill points.

In the example case, you will have 350 Magic SP to spend on the new set of skills and stanzas.

That is fantastic news Cerest. You guys are awesome.

It means that you will have to rebuild your character blindly without any real foreknowledge of how (or if) skills have been changed, other than some discussion in the patch notes, that may or may not be complete.

Good luck!

Perhaps it would be better to play with the changed skills for a few days, then get the respec credits so that we can make an informed decision on how to modify our characters?


Maybe those brave Advanced Test Server people could give us some insight?

[euwest]

so what, its essentially a respec o.O?

[frostbit]

One good question is how will default skills be handled?

Will we start out with armor craft 1, the boot plan, basic extraction, and heal other 1?

I wonder if the starter pack choices we made are stored in our character records. Oh well, whatever solution is implemented, SOMEONE will be unhappy.

Glad it wont be me.

I agree with Meek. With major changes being made, it is nice to be able to adjust to the changes without having to remake a character. I wouldn't want to be stuck with a bunch of skill points in a stanza that no longer does what I purchased it for. Another excellent move by Nevvy.

I'm amazed they would give us a free respec, even with the changes. I feel all tingly now.
