As you go up in levels the amount of XP required to reach the next level increases (this bit is obvious, I know). But once you reach level 20 each time you gain a skillpoint the XP required to gain the next point continues to increase.
I'm well over 20k required XP to gain my next skillpoint and have seen no signs of it leveling off. If it continues to climb then the number of skillpoints it is possible to gain on any single character is effectively soft-capped and the dream of having all skills available to a single character (my original long term goal) becomes either much more difficult or effectively impossible, depending on when the XP required becomes functially prohibitive.
Has anyone done the math on this or have any light to shed? I did do a search for "experience" but all that got me was tons of posts where people argued about level caps. Waste of my time.
Anyway I'm curious because if XP required per skillpoint doesn't level off at a reasonable quantity I shall simply finish off all the skills in my characters main tree and move on.
Does XP needed per skillpoint ever plateau?

I came across what you are looking for a couple of days ago.
In other words, having all skills on a single character would not be easy at all. I'd look into making another character.

With these, make sure you don't consider skill points you get from quests/missions. Those don't apply here. exp to next skill point = 1400 + 600x where x is the number of the next skill point you'll earn through experience ex. To get your 60th skill point, you'll need to gain 1400 + 600*60 = 37400 experience after getting enough exp to earn your 59th skill point. total exp = 300xx + 1100x - 1400 where x is the number of the next skill point you'll earn through experience When you start to work towards earning your 60th skill point, you'd have already earned 300*60*60 +1100*60 - 1400 = 1,144,600 experience number of skill points you have earned through experience = (-55 + sqrt(7225 + 3*your total exp)) / 30 - 1 no. of the next skill point you'll earn, Total amount of Exp, Exp to earn the next skill point 1 0,000 2000 2 2,000 2600 3 4,600 3200 4 7,800 3800 5 11,600 4400 6 16,000 5000 7 21,000 5600 8 26,600 6200 9 32,800 6800 10 39,600 7400 11 47,000 8000 12 55,000 8600 13 63,600 9200 14 72,800 9800 15 82,600 10400 16 93,000 11000 17 104,000 11600 18 115,600 12200 19 127,800 12800 20 140,600 13400 21 154,000 14000 22 168,000 14600 23 182,600 15200 24 197,800 15800 25 213,600 16400 26 230,000 17000 27 247,000 17600 28 264,600 18200 29 282,800 18800 30 301,600 19400 31 321,000 20000 32 341,000 20600 33 361,600 21200 34 382,800 21800 35 404,600 22400 36 427,000 23000 37 450,000 23600 38 473,600 24200 39 497,800 24800 40 522,600 25400 41 548,000 26000 42 574,000 26600 43 600,600 27200 44 627,800 27800 45 655,600 28400 46 684,000 29000 47 713,000 29600 48 742,600 30200 49 772,800 30800 50 803,600 31400 51 835,000 32000 52 867,000 32600 53 899,600 33200 54 932,800 33800 55 966,600 34400 56 1,001,000 35000 57 1,036,000 35600 58 1,071,600 36200 59 1,107,800 36800 60 1,144,600 37400 70 1,545,600 43400 80 2,006,600 49400 90 2,527,600 55400 100 3,108,600 61400 110 3,749,600 67400 120 4,450,600 73400 130 5,211,600 79400 140 6,032,600 85400 150 6,913,600 91400 160 7,854,600 97400 170 8,855,600 103400 180 9,916,600 109400 190 11,037,600 115400 200 12,218,600 121400 210 13,459,600 127400 220 14,760,600 133400 230 16,121,600 139400 240 17,542,600 145400 250 19,023,600 151400 260 20,564,600 157400 270 22,165,600 163400 280 23,826,600 169400 290 25,547,600 175400 300 27,328,600 181400 310 29,169,600 187400 320 31,070,600 193400 330 33,031,600 199400 340 35,052,600 205400 350 37,133,600 211400 360 39,274,600 217400 370 41,475,600 223400 380 43,736,600 229400 390 46,057,600 235400 400 48,438,600 241400 410 50,879,600 247400 420 53,380,600 253400 430 55,941,600 259400 440 58,562,600 265400 450 61,243,600 271400 |

Thanks Egads.
Well, that is really obnoxious, and may be what loses me as a continuing customer for future Guild Wars products, unless future expansions do something to address this.
Collecting skills is my principle pleasure in the game. With this setup it looks like the only way to really effectively "catch them all" is to make 6 separate characters and delete 2 of them along the way, and even then the only way to access them all at once is with a PvP character I'll likely never use. Not something I'm really interested in doing.
*shrug* Oh well. There are other games. This one was certainly worth the box price, so it's not like I haven't gotten my money's worth already.

This is the calculation from gwonline. After level 20, the xp needed per level is 20*600+12,800. I've read it in a thread with someone confirming that you need 24,800 xp per skill point after level 20, but I couldn't find it again.
I myself have level 3 or 4 more times after level 20, and it didn't take me long. I'll watch my xp levels and report back.
