In skill descriptions, we follow the in-game precedent of listing variables at attributes 0...12, not 0...15 like in the official game update notes. For the EotN title skills, that corresponds to ranks 0...8 in the title. &mdash;Dr Ishmael 01:42, January 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * If this is a wiki for GW, why not use the rank 0-10 as it does in game? Wouldn't that help confused players?? &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bladed Trapper (contribs).


 * When you learn a new PvE skill, it shows the max at rank 8, like newly unlocked normal skills show rank 12 for the attributes.--[[Image:El Nazgir sig.png|Talkpage]]El_Nazgir 20:40, January 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * (edit conflict) For standard skills, the first time a character on an account learns the skill (or you unlock it with Balthazar faction), you get a "Skill Unlocked!" box, where it shows the green numbers as "X...Y", where X is the value at attribute 0 and Y at attribute 12. PvE-only skills don't get this box, so there's no direct in-game precedent for listing their variables (unless you've seen somewhere in-game that shows 0...10?).  However, research using Signet of Illusions has shown that an attribute rank of 12 equates to a title rank of 8 for 10-rank titles (Sunspear and the 4 EotN titles), and 10 for 12-rank titles (Kurzick/Luxon).  That is why, in descriptions for PvE-only skills, we list the variables from title ranks 0...8 for 10-rank titles and 0...10 for 12-rank titles.
 * @Naz: Actually, it doesn't. It brings up the "Equip new skill?" box, where it shows the variables as a single value corresponding to your current title rank only.  PvE-only skills don't get "unlocked," so there's no unlock box.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 20:45, January 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hmmm, I thought it did. I knew it had no "unlocked", but I could have sworn the 0-8 values were in-game somewhere...--[[Image:El Nazgir sig.png|Talkpage]]El_Nazgir 20:54, January 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * That's what I thought too, which is why I went and completed a PvE skill quest (Destructive Research) on one of my less-played characters to get a screenshot. But no, it only shows the numbers for your current rank, no range at all.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 21:04, January 3, 2010 (UTC)
