Neat idea for the market. --Mooseyfate 16:00, 24 August 2007 (CDT)

Even noobs can easily acquire skill points. i dont see this as useful
 * Ah, like, "I've been playing for 600 hours on my Elementalist and have aquired 5,000,000 experience and with that loads of Skill Points. I wanna get the Skill Hunter title on my 156,000 experience Warrior. I use a bunch of Star of Transfer ence." --Yaki 16:41, 24 August 2007 (CDT)
 * I smell expensive survivor...--IxI Raiden IxI 18:22, 24 August 2007 (CDT)
 * How would this be used for survivor? --Gimmethegepgun 02:37, 25 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Use (expensive) Stars of Transference to acquire around 150 Skill Points on your Legendary Survivor-aiming-character who has approximately 150'000 experience. Skill Cap x 240. --Yaki 05:15, 25 August 2007 (CDT)
 * me to...overpriced imo...the effects of the other rank3-250g+twice25common-materials stuff is better — [[Image:Zerpha_Elixir_Of_Valor.jpg]] Zerpha The Improver  12:43, 25 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Survivor is based off experience, not skill points. This doesn't actually give you experience. --Armond Warblade (talk) 14:51, 26 August 2007 (CDT)
 * It does if you use the skill points to get SoCs and cap elites with them. Nyktos 12:23, 27 August 2007 (CDT)

I crafted several stars for a Guild member who had used the majority of their skill points capping elites. Although I was crafting 50 stars and the NPC required the crafting materials for fifty stars, when I traded in the materials I was only deducted 1 skill point. Not sure if this is an error in the system or simply a great way to pass along skill points without actually sacrificing you own skill points. Basically, you can have an infinate number of skill points as long as you always have at least the necessary materials and 1 skill point to craft with! 69.135.195.253 08:45, 26 August 2007 (CDT) Kai
 * Of course it's an error...you could have used them yourself, and just gained 49 neerly free skillpoints, reguardless what character you use on. This is desighned to transfer from 1 character to another, so why would they make it worthwhile to use it on the character that made it?  Serpent615  13:54, 27 August 2007

I don't see this as being useful at all except to sell to other players who want a skill point without spending one. Even to gain a skill point for another character on your account - rather pointless as I can get as many skill points as I would ever need just by playing through the game with each character, as I intend to anyway. I would rather see another bonus added to this thing to at least make it worth the code wasted to put it in the game. HanokOdbrook 13:32, 4 September 2007 (CDT)

Possible Trivia

Wait...
So you pay 1 skill point only to get one back??? That makes no sense... Dean Harper 20:06, 16 September 2007 (CDT)
 * the same comment was already said and a reply was already made but what thew hell ill give it a shot......they are used for transferingskill points between characters useful for new characters are characters that are going for skill hunter if your stupid enough to buy one then use on the same character then well enjoy wasting money
 * A lot of people have a character they farm with (like a 55 monk/necro or other popular builds) where they might have a few hundred skill points, if they need to learn some more skills on a character they a bringing up they can just craft a handful of those and put it in storage for the other character.

I Nominate...
...the Star of Transference for the title of Most Confusing Object in the Gameworld. People just don't get this thing. I don't know why. It's like a difficult concept for some players to grasp or something. (I bet there's a quest. A secret quest. You can only get it if you talk to such-and-such NPC with exactly 42 Stars of Transference in your inventory, and only while the world has favor...) Gwen Shadowsound 18:59, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * What? it is for uh............ transferernce?? [[Image:ShadyGuy.jpg]] 19:00, 7 November 2007 (UTC)


 * And who would want to transfer skill points for a price? I mean, come on, Tomes are even easier to get, and much cheaper once the skills reach 300gold to buy. Less Able to Make Effective! --[[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]] -- (s)talkpage 19:03, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * The idea is to transfer them to your other characters rather than other players. --Yaki 16:00, 8 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Even then it's much more profitable to get either tomes, or do quests. --[[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]] -- (s)talkpage 16:02, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Spam
How cool would it be to stand in a town and spam these and clog up the chat with (your name) gains a skill point.--Chris1645 22:36, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Lol, that'd be awesome! 69.159.200.89 17:35, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
