Basically. When you cap an elite, you gain XP as well as a Skill Point that you can use to cap the next elite.

Theres just so much elites to capture. Gotcha catch em all.

Do some basic FoW runs, complete some quests and you'll get skillpoints enuff.

I still have 100+ left

This doesn't make any sense to me... to me it would be more logical to just go ahead and not take a skill point to get one... but that would be a bit much I feel.

Skill points are a constant issue for me. I'd be glad to spend 500k getting all the skills for my warrior, but I'm constantly out of skill points.

/notsigned, I would usually pull enough xp between two caps to get a skill point while working on my skill hunter title, 5000xp a cap is plenty.

agree with the above poster, I usually get the point before or soon after i cap the skill.

So you want to get rid of skill points?
Got to catch them all? WTF, dude Pokemon is on another website.

What is the point of skill points if using one gives you one?

On the character I am trying to get maxed Skill Hunter with, I have Advanced Skill Hunter and over 80 skill points left.

On my other characters that I only cap important elites with I have over 200 skill points.

Clever. +1 to Arcanis.

Regarding the topic, I think a better version of the idea is for every five Elite caps, you get one skill point back.

Arcanis: Thanks for the tip

I never posted that skill points go obselete. Just for CAPPING ELITES. Buying regular skills would still use it up.

You already get 5k xp per cap, 3 caps will get you AT LEAST one skill point

Doesn't work with quests, I've tried that - wouldn't it be the same for skills? Can't remember if I tried that.

This would start down the path of making skill points worthless. Maybe if you wait they'll have another double weekend where you get 10k xp per elite cap which is 2 skill points for every 3 skills capped.

You get 250xp for each lvl, with a max of 5k xp for lvl20s. It's already easier to obtain the title now, no need to start handing out skill points.

Why get 5,000 XP AND a skill point? Why not just give you a skill point without the XP?
