Unlocking all skills for playing pvp is no challenge anymore. Let's say you play pvp only and want want to unlock 6x75 skills = 450 skills = 450k factions (actually a little bit more, since some skills are already available and elite skills cost 3k factions to unlock). This took me like one month playing guild wars.
But how about unlocking all the skills by a single PvE character, with all secondary profession skills unlocked. So let's say you are a primary mesmer who want to unlock all mesmer skills and all other skills from the other 5 secondary professions (in this case: monk, necromancer, elementalist, ranger and warrior).
My suggestion would be:
- Doing all missions (to get skillpoints)
- Doing all quests that gives you skills as a reward (only for your primary and one secondary profession, as you cannot do the same quests more than once to get the skills)
- Doing the high XP reward quests (Glint's quest = 20k, fast Ascension = 50k bonus, etc)
- Doing quest in UW and FoW (limited since your region does not always have the favor and you need to play 1k for entrance)
Let's say you wanted unlock all the 450 skills (actually less, since some skills are only available for primary professions only) and 1 skillpoint = 20k XP.
Then you will need 450 x 20k = 90 million XP to unlock all skills.
In my opinion: 90 million XP is impossible to reach! My character has only 1.4 Million XP and the highest XP player I know in GW has 27 Million XP.
My challenge is as follows > How can you get 90 Million asap? Please, give me suggestion!
A greater challenge would be when the GW: Factions comes out and you wanted to unlock the skills for A and Rt as a secondary profession too!
Unlocking all skills: a new challenge!

Who has 27 mill xp?

I think it cost a littel less (unlocking the skills) then that, you get new quests with each new 2nd pro you get so the most of it you get from the quests.
Getting 90 mil xp hmmm thats is imposible IMO, maybe If you dont have a life or you are a bot (lmao), but let me know if you find out how

I've unlocked all of the Mesmer, Monk and Warrior, Two of which I unlocked on my one Warrior/Monk, all of which through PvE,Also I'm about to unlock the last few elites for Necromancer, which is on my PvE Mesmer/Necromancer.
I plan on unlocking all of the ranger skills in pve as well, except for elementalist..I plan on unlocking his skills through pvp, since I want to keep my R/E a pure beastmaster.
All in all, I plan on unlocking all skills before Factions(I hope anyway).

You don't need 90 million exp to unlock all skills on a PvE character, more like 5 million which is about 350 skill points.
Many people have already unlocked all skills on a single PvE character.

A few notes to the OP:
1. At level 20, you get skill points every 15k now as opposed to 20k. This was changed a while ago (which itself was even changed from before, when you had to get an increasing number of xp each time you got another skill point. At any rate, using your calculations at 20k it's only 9 million xp to get 450 skill points, not 90 million.)
2. You can get the skills of a secondary in that primary attribute; for example, an R/W can get Strength-based skills. They won't be very effective though.
3. When you switch secondaries, you can do the profession-specific quests back in Ascalon and Yak's Bend. You can get an additional 12-13 skills for each secondary this way.
4. Switching secondaries itself unlocks a few starter skills; I don't remember which exact ones you unlock.
5. You get one skill point from the Pre-Searing quest Tithe for Ashford Abbey, 1 skill point for each level up, and 1 skill point for each of the 24 PvE missions. That's 44 free skill points.
After all that, you should have around 280 skill points you have to earn. That's 4.2 million exp, or 4,340,600 experience including the experience it takes to get to level 20.

Probly not the fastest, but if your going to start a new character try to make a build using professions that you havn't ever had before. Do all quests and missions again gives you a lot of skills and skill points without the farming.

For some people, unlocking all skills (not on their PvE character) is a challange. Just for me. I have played GW for over 1000 hours and still have like 200 skills to unlock. I'm trying to unlock a skill once a day now.
Ghalheon
450 * 20.000 = 9M not 90M
period
BTW to get 1 skill point you need 15.000xp not 20.000

3 tip: some npcs give the skills when you take the quest (like Grand Mason Stonecleaver) take the quest, abandon the quest and the skills will remain, change secondary and return you will take another free skill... repeat for all classes...

Done. Next challenge please.

Call me insane but I actually intend to unlock all 8 professions skills on all 8 of my chars... yeah, I know, lol. It's gonna take me ages though, especially as I don't bother farming too much anymore... but it'll keep me interested in the game, whether I finally do it or not

The way I have done it is this: select three primaries that I enjoy (w/e, r/me, mo/n) and play through the game three times. With this setup you're able to do all the skill reward quests, plus get all the skill points through normal play through. This of course only works for unlocking on one account, but not for one individual character. A lot faster this way and also leaves one slot open for PvP
I've got all the warrior skills (except elites) unlocked and almost all the ranger skills (my first character was actually a W/R).

First of all, if you only used one character (say a pvp character) then yes, but since pvp only characters can BUY all there skills talking about exprience and skill points is silly. Also, doing the skills quests pre and post searing would give you almost all you basic skills without gaining exp, without spending skill points... the amount of exp/skill points needed is drastically reduced!
Secondly, most people have at least 2 characters. I'm not going to do the math, but basically you can unlock all your skills (elites as well) using only 2 characters and changing their secondaries. My monk alone has all the necro and monk skills unlocked, most all the warrior ones, ele and a few memer skills as well, and he's only got about 2.5 million exp!

Unlocking all the new skills for factions is probably the only other thing you can do next... on a toon who already has the 450 current ones.

And 15000x450= 6.75 Million XP... That is a very reasonable figure!

Ghozer
I have EVERYTHING Unlocked Except about 9 Warrior skills, and about 15 elites (useless ones that are never used)..
this isnt including the new Assassin/Ritualist skills, or the new skills for the current professions....
I unlocked the larger majority of them with faction from PvPing i think i only have like 400k XP on my main character, and about 120k on my other...

But Ghozer, that's not on one character, that's the true challenge.
I have every single skill unlocked, but they're spread across characters.

Now a REAL challange (which probably isnt possible) would be to get every skill in the game via cap sigs only.........

My ranger and warrior have every skill for their primary profession; that's just one of the more anal requirements of making a character PvP ready. :X
