View Full Version : Saving training lessons as a Druid?

Hi guys, was wondering if there is any reason to save training lessons as a Druid?

I remember back in the day it was a very good way to save them for research for casters, but seeing the skill list druids have, was thinking if there was any reason to save them for future use or burn them for skills or tradeskills you want?:confused:

Any info or tip would be appreciated :D

Much love to you all!

Cheers!

I don't really think they are needed much especially druid who uses all schools of magic frequently enough

But don't take my advice on this subject.... every toon I play ends up with well over 100 training points by the time they are 60 cause i never use them, an then i use them to skill up tradeskills to 21 and other useless crap lol

Played a druid to 54 and replaying one right now,
I confirm to you that skillpoints are mostly useless and you can dump 20 points in learning Gnoll language if you feel like it ;)
I guess dumping a few pts in Dodge at level 15 is okay? But you should tank a bit a cap that anyway. Same for track at 20, in theory it could be nice to have it quite high right away, but you set it up so that it's on your "W" key and it gets capped in about an hour, so whatever... everything else is relatively easy to cap if you're trying.
On Nagoya it was a pain to raise 1HS at level 54 when I had always been using 1HB my whole life having 1HS (1) and trying to raise it on blue mobs sucked. But on the other hand, you don't need to melee on a 54 druid ;)

TL;DR No. No reason to save them. Also no reason to use them, so keep a few around for that spur of the moment (4am "Hey let's work on Pottery! This will be fun!") so you don't regret :P

I think you should use them All to save a little time on tradeskills

I would save at least enough training points to be able to learn most tradeskills you might want to do to 21.

That being said, for most tradeskill you can do 1-21 with like 10pp and 20mins of your time so it's not that dramatic if you don't have the skillpoints to speed it up :)

Should be able to train fishing to 200 with skill points if you were so inclined, never confirm that on p99 though.

I would probably put it into something like Divination because that school is useful for invis and I don't remember using it a lot to raise it naturally. Invis is also one of those spells that sometimes you need it RIGHT NOW and don't want to wait on all those fizzles.

But yeah, not super important.

1. Get all your 0 languages and trades to 1 so you can sort by new 0's as you level.
2. Raise the trade skills you want
2a. Raise a language you want for some reason

FYI Begging starts skilling much faster past 30 so consider that :D Then start using begging on fishing boats when you are bored.

Ahhh ty for the tips friends! Guess I always wanted to learn Gnoll haha ...

Though the tradeskill idea is solid too ... hmmm, decisions, decisions!

But overall thanks for the input! :)

Do you still raise languages by spamming text in group chat? Been a while for me

Rumour is bards shouldn't train hide until 60, which will circumvent the class skill cap of 40 by setting the skill to the trainee's level (ie 60)

Gnoll is one of the very few languages with an in-game use. If you master it you can read the Tesch Val Scrolls that drop in Splitpaw/South Karana ... not that that is particularly useful, but it's more useful than most languages.

And yes, I believe text spamming does still raise languages. Been meaning to organize a language learning party sometime to get mine up ...

Don't think it works like that. My SK forgot to train Divination at 9 and I didn't use any Div spells. I trained it at 12 and it gave me a skill of 9.

I believe when you train a delayed skill, it just gives you the beginning skill level that you would have received had you trained it when it was first available.

And plunking 21 points into a tradeskill is a waste... less than 10pp and 5 minutes will get you there.

If you are planning one do tell! I love raising languages! :D

I remember back in the day in the test server during mob play, you could speak as a mob with several languages, really confused people when you began screaming at them as a lion in the karanas in dragon, really loved that feature hehe.

I seem to recall once in the basement of SSRA we started spamming other languages to train each other while grouped. we caped numerous languages that day. I dont know if you 'need' to be grouped but its something fun to do when med'ing up between spawns.

When I got my epic I put like 40 points into 1HS because I never used it before as a druid.. Other than that I would put 21 points into the skilltrades for the Coldain Shawl Quest.

My Enchanter has all languages at 100, if anyone wants to learn them send me a PM and I’ll help if I’m free!
