if you change your secondary profession after ascension, how do you acquire all the skills that normally gained during quests? or do you automatically get all the skills of the new profession?
i have no idea what happens when you change professions.
Changing secondary profession question...

huh
You get a few basic skills (around 5-6).
Then you have to do the skill quests up to Yak's Bend and whatever else you don't have, you have to buy them.

so i'm given a handful of skills and then i have to teleport from town to town using the map to do several quests to gain the other skills?
seems like a tremendous amount of work.

Well if you've got a lot of cash and skill points to blow, just buy them from Ember Light Camp.
There are only a few profession-related quests.
Like I said, from Ascalon up until Yak's Bend.
And its not just in towns, some are outside.
Like Elementalist Aziure (?) outside of Ascalon City.
Just head out and run straight, pressing ALT all the while, you'll see those people soon enough.

Or if you don't want to blow skill points and money, you can just do quests to get skills, like you would on your primary.

Or retroactively give you all the skills that came as quest rewards when you change class; if you've already done the quest, you get the skills that you would have got from it with the new secondary.

I have another question about this. Say you're a W/Mo and change to a W/Me and pick up a few Mesmer skills. Now when you switch back to W/Mo or to anything else do you lose your Monk / Mesmer skills?

No, if you switch back to either professions you regain all the skills that you've already learned on that character, no matter how many times you switch.

One would figure that perhaps they could find a way to allow acquisition of skills cheaper for a PvE character if the skill were already PvP unlocked - like remove the skill point requirement and reduce the cost to a token amount of 100 per skill - that way if you change to another class you don't have to do the painfully slow unlock if you have it unlocked elsewhere.

Lets say you don't get the xp reward, but you do get the skills at no cost for completing the quest. XP after level 20 isn't that critical anyways and piles up fairly quick.
It's not so much even the cost of the skills or the points, it's just that it would make it much more interesting to get them. If you didn't want to grind through getting them for free from the quests then you could buy them from Ember Light Camp.
