Best way would be simple, to learn new skills, like heoes do.
u have a skill point and learn a normal skill from the NPC for FREE
only when u buy signet for elite skills, they will cost direct 1 P ever.
And ever when u've learned a normal Skill from the skill trainer NPC, the learned skill will disappear out of the list, so that u see only then the rest of skill, that u'ven't learned yet.
Then we would have exactly the same NPC, as for the hero-skills and theoretically we could kill then 1 our npc, because we would need only 1 NPC then, which gives us automatically skills for us and our heroes together.
In the moment its nothing else, when u get ur heroes to learn a skill by the hero skil trainer, the learned skill will be learned by ur own chara too in the same time.
This would be the perfect solution for everybody and espcially for all perma poor people.
Because most of all skills are all normal skills and to pay for a normal skill later 1 Platin, with that u could get 1 elite skill in other ways is just weird.
When the cost for normal skills for example would not raise over 250g, that would be ok, but paying 1P for a plain stupid normal skill is just stupid.
Pay more SP simple to get stuff free ist stupid too, espcially for all newer players which have not so much points, that they are willing to spent ever direct 10 points only for not having to pay the 1 Platin ... this makes absolutely no sense, because before i've grinded me 10 SP, i made easily with simple normal playing and loot selling 30-50 Platin in the time before i reached 10 more SP
There should be other ways for too much Skill Points, especially when u have learned every single skill of every class inclusive the elites.
Why not exchange not nessesscary points for money for example or for unique armors/weapons/runes and so on.
Example:
Ive learned every single skill, have +300 SP over, that i cant use for anything.
Now i talk to the NPC, he says then to me:
"Wow, ur unbelieveable, u've learned everything i could teach u ..blah bla blup"
gives me then a quest to find an instanced personal smith, which will only then appear, so that no rush kiddies can get to it, before they've learned everything *gg*. and at that NPC smith i can then forge for example finally REAL unique weapons for exchange of some platin and instead of materials then big sums of skill points *u must be skilled to weer ur absolutly unique own weapon XD*
Absolute Unique Weapons r then in the Color "dark blue" and the special thing is, that u can give ur own weapon its own skin 8there will be then scroll bar with skin choices and in the auto preview u can look then the skins, as if u see the auto preview, when u want to dye ur armor.
AUW's will be automatically refined to ur character and are unsellable/untradeable but they get account based and reproducable by the command /unique, then u'll receive ever a copy of the last AUW u've made for ur momantanous character, which has used /unique
AUW's will be automatically perfect basic weapons, u can choose, which bonusses they should have and to which attribute they should belong, but AUW's r ONLY for PvE !!!.
Example:
I'm at that NPC, want him now to forge my my beloved sword of wish
First i choose the kind of weapon, so sword ... then the skin of the Blade ..
I want it now to look like a flamberge, then i choose the skin of the hilt to complete my sword. After that i can givy my sword some bonis (more boni = bigger cost of SP)
After that i give my creation a name and pay then for example 15 P + 50 Skill Points for each bonus the weapon should get.
Ill create for example now this:
Excalibur
15-22 Holy Damage (Req. 8 Swordmanship)
+15% Damage (when enchanted)
+15% Damage when HP >50%
+20% Damage vs. Undeads and Spirits
Lenghthens Enchantments Duration + 20%
Energy + 5
Id pay for this example now also 15 Platin + 250 SP. .. enabling this and players would a chance have to make their own ultimative weapons.
I'd die for a sword like this XD
