Ryzom

Hello,

I have just started playing this game and think it's great. I love the skill system, but have a few questions.

1. Can I learn "every" skill or is there a max/cap?

2. If there is a max/cap should I learn the attribute skills first (Constitution, Metabolism, Inteligence, etc)?

Thanks

There's no max or cap on learning skills. As far as I know, no one has difinitively proven this, however, it's generally thought that there's WAY more than enough skill points available to learn every skill in the game.

Every time you gain a level, you get 10 skill points. Once you get to a level where the skill trees split, you'll find that this leads to a LOT of points. For example, after L21 in fight, the tree splits to Melee Fight and Range Fight. That means you can level up both branches separately and get skill points for both. Leveling up a secondary line of the tree is a good way to earn some extra SP to spend.

Now when you're first starting out, the skill points are a little more sparse so you'll need to pick and choose a little. Later on, as the skill trees start splitting, you'll end up building up a lot of extra skill points.

Because skill points are spread a little thin when you're first starting out, I'd suggest first increasing your HP and Sap (if you're a magic user). For a melee user, stamina is also important but I've found you can let that lag a little at first. But you'll eventually want to get this up to the max level available to you as higher level melee actions can burn through stamina fast.

Yes. Currently there is more skill points available than you can spend on skills available on trainers. However, there are some skills, and more is coming, that are gained trough ritual missions. Those might be exclusive based on faction fame (e.g. kami vs. karavan).

Attributes are always good choice. Especially if you do solo and regeneration stats are important. Also, you have to invest on attributes to be able use better equipment. That said, there are some skills that might come before attribute upgrades. Maybe a new spell or special attack

There is a cap in attribues as long as you can't triain them after level 250, and each train is level related. Basically each 10 levels in an area (combat, magic, crafting and harvesting) will let you train 1 level in specific attributes (HP and stamina for combat, sap for magic, focus for crafting and harvesting). You can also train the regeneration speed of those stats. (and that's a good thing, especially for focus). But if you are let's say level 100 close combat and you maxed your HP, then you level ranged combat to 100 you wont be able to train your HP more than you already did. This is because each branch comes from the "basic" Fight root.
That applies to all 4 areas.
