Talk:Skill trainer

Could someone verify that the price increase per skill bought is 10g? --Tetris L 18:58, 25 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * Bump! --Tetris L 01:49, 6 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * Does that mean if you buy 10 skills the 10th will cost 100g? I'be bought a lot and I'm still getting stuff for 5 and 10 --Skuld &Dagger; 01:54, 6 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * I'm pretty sure it does, but this is going to change with the patch on the 7th. --Fyren 01:59, 6 Sep 2005 (EST)

Can someone update the price info here? How much does it increase? If it maxes out at 1000 after 20 does that mean that it starts with 50 and increments in 50s? --Karlos 16:24, 10 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * And does the signet of capture still cost half what the normal skill would cost? --Rainith 03:58, 14 Oct 2005 (EST)


 * I don't believe there is a discount on these any longer. I bought 2 capture signets 2 nights ago and they were 1 platinum each.  It's conceivable that there's a discount early on, but that they eventually reach the same maximum, but I don't think there really is. --Squeg 04:11, 14 Oct 2005 (EST)


 * I don't think there is a discount either. I removed that from the article and changed the statement on the cost of skills to just reflect the max amount.  That specific statement at least should be fleshed out better, but I don't have the specific info, and I think this way is better than having the old, incorrect info.  --Rainith 04:21, 14 Oct 2005 (EST)


 * Cost for the SoC is the same as for a regular skill now. Why ANet did that is beyond me, because it leaves no incentive to use the SoC for non-elite skills. --Tetris L 06:22, 14 Oct 2005 (EST)


 * Which is the point. :) --Karlos 09:11, 14 Oct 2005 (EST)


 * Then why do we get SoC's in Kryta when there are no elites anywhere near? --Tetris L 16:04, 14 Oct 2005 (EST)


 * There's a lot of skill that you can capture before getting to the point where you can buy them from a trainer (skills you can only get through a trainer, obviously). --theeth 23:00, 15 January 2006 (UTC)


 * (Oh, and YES, the increment is 50 gold per skill bought (included SoCs).) --Tetris L 16:04, 14 Oct 2005 (EST)


 * The skills cost almost certainly doesn't increase by 50. My new character has bought 1 skill, and the current cost is 60... --FlOvermind 12:31, 25 Oct 2005 (EST)

On my toons, the incremental cost per skill is 10 gold. I don't know what the maximum is. 15 Jan 2006


 * So, um, what are your "toons"? --Rainith 22:28, 15 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Toon = Character
 * Oh, and the increment is not 10g any more. It's been raised to 50. -- 04:28, 16 January 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't think the increment is linear. I bought my first skill on a newish character yesterday and the price went from 50 to 60. --theeth 18:27, 16 January 2006 (UTC)


 * I recently bought some skills to try out how the price works. I only tried it up to the 11th skill, this particular character doesn't need more capture signets. I'll continue the table when my char gets to the Amber Light Camp (if noone is faster ;) ). --[fragless]Overmind 09:44, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

* important *
there will be new ways of gaining skill points after Guild Wars release their Expansion.

Elite skills from trainer?
In addition to the trainer's normal inventory of skills, they also offer any skill you have unlocked with your account.

I may have totally misinterpreted something that I read on a message board, but can unlocked elite skills be bought at skill trainers by characters that do not have them? Something that confirms or denies that might be useful in the article. -- Dashface 08:43, 5 May 2006 (CDT)


 * You can't get unlocked elite skills from trainers. I'll add a note in the article. --Gem [[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] 08:50, 5 May 2006 (CDT)


 * Thanks. -- Dashface 04:28, 6 May 2006 (CDT)
