Skill point

Skill points are used to buy skills from skill trainers. Each skill costs one skill point and increasing amount of gold. Currently, the cost will not rise above one platinum (or 1000 gold). The amount of skill points available can be seen from your hero screen.

Acquiring Skill Points
Skill points can be acquired three ways:
 * A character gains 1 skill point when reaching a new level and after level 20 your character receives one skill for every 15'000 XP.
 * A character gains 1 skill point for every completed mission. (Note: Only the first time, not when you re-play a mission.)
 * The Pre-Searing quest Tithe for Ashford Abbey offers 1 skill point as reward.

Conserve Your Skill Points!

 * It is wise to save skill points for later parts of the game, because some skills can be acquired for free from quests.
 * A good rule of thumb is that, Skill Trainers at major Cities tend to offer questable skills combined with skills from Outposts preceding the location. Therefore, if you quest every skill and train at outposts, you will rarely need to use a city trainer.  There are, however, exceptions.
 * Most trainers at outposts offer skills that are not questable. Exceptions are: Yak's Bend and Quarrel Falls
