Language circles

Alternately, if you have dumped training points into one of the non player character trained only languages, and would be willing to share them with other people please post them in this thread as well.

What's the use in learning a new language exactly? Or is this one of those.. "fun" things?

[Nagash]

On Live, one could teach a langage to someone else up to 1 point above their skill level (for example player A has a Teir'Dal skill of 66, he could teach player B this skill up to 67). It made no sense whatsoever but could be used in an interesting fashion: you only needed to have 1 player with a skill of 1 to increase his skill and others' up to 100 (player A teaches player B up to a skill of 2, player B then teaches player A up to a skill of 3, etc...). We did it with some friends on Live, took ages but was definitely doable.

In a brilliant use of game mechanics here's how people can easily work together to cap out NPC languages. Rather than a single person dumping in 100 training points, by splitting it up between people you can save a lot. Say in a group of 4, one person trains to 25, then spams. Then another trains 25-50 and spams the group up. Then another trains 50-75 and spams the group up. Then another does 75-100 and tops everyone off. I know there's some cost disparity in training at levels, but the idea is still there, and the more people willing to do it, the more skill points and money is spread out. The best part is, if you don't want to waste your main's skill points that is what alts are for! With a little coordination we can all be polyglots [You must be logged in to view images.

Not sure if this was posted yet, but on live you can actually teach 1 skill point above your skill. For example if you have 50 Orcish, you can teach someone to 51 Orcish. I believe they had to zone to bump you back up to 52 though, although I'm not entirely sure on that. But it was possible to max all the languages as long as someone started with a single point in them.

Got 3 toons all with some 20 training points, gonna check on what a lvl13 toon can learn of the exotic ones and go with that.

[astarothel]

All you need to do to have a noobie be able to learn an exotic is expose them to it. For example, I have 1 in every language. To get an alt to say learn Elder Dragon from his trainer I just have to spam enough for one language skill up, and then they can train the rest as normal.

[Jete]

I am totally in!!

[astarothel]

The following languages (AFAIK) are NPC only, and as such will require skillpoints to be invested in them from people.

Old Erudian
Froglok
Goblin
Gnoll
Combine Tongue
Elder Teir'dal
Lizardman
Orcish
Faerie
Dragon
Elder Dragon
Vah Shir

you don't have to invest more then 1 point an any language to be abel to get it 100.

with a skill of 1 you can teach an other player and your self up to a skill of 2 (1 higher then your own skill when you last zoned) then all you have to do is zone and you can teach someone 1 higher then you current skill, so you can teach yourself and someone else up to 100 all you have to do is zone 98 times.
You can only learn skills when you are in a group and when a group member is in the same zone as you.

Yep, this is what Brut and I did today. after a bunch of hit and misses for figuring out the best way to communicate our skillups and technique, and some odd double skillups from what was probably flooding the server we got each of us up to 15+ in NPC languages.
