Ive been looking for places to buy/acquire new skills other than through just basic missions. Im talking about either a trainer (i know just of the one in ascalon), or a specialist (like a monk or an elementalist etc) who gives you misisons for your profession. Does anyone know where they are or where i could go to find out where they are?

A list of skill trainers is available from all major GW websites, for example:
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/skill-trainers-id238.php

Skills from quests, that's a different story. Several GW websites are in the process of compiling a quest database, but none has a list yet that's anywhere near complete. GWonline has the biggest database so far, but you can't search it for skill rewards.

Yes you can, that functionality was added the second day after the database went live. It is possible, though doubtful considering how much I tested it and continue to test it never seeing one myself, that a bug is present but the funtionality is indeed there.

Huh, did I miss something? Do you mean the free text search? Sure, you can use this, but only to search for a specific skill. I think this is not what mrguky, myself and most other userd are looking for.

What would be great is if you could do a more general search like: "search all quests with a monk skill as reward".

Of course this would require that the reward field, which is currently free text, would have to be split into categories: xp, gold, items, skills, skill points, ....

This way you could even link the skills database with the quest database!

As a desperate user I DEMAND this improvement. Now get your lazy ass to work.
