Base Skill Calculation

[StalePopcorn]

Hi folks,

Quick question - I am a 41 STMD 18 DRU and my base Nature skill is 235. Anyone explain why? I thought I got 10 Nature per level for STMD or DRU, so shouldn't I have base 410? Or do I have the skill per level for STMD wrong?

Thanks!

Your Nature skill coming from STMD won't start until Level 20 (due to being a prestige school), so based on that you should have 220, if my assumption of starting with 10 is correct + 210 for the 21 levels gained after joining.

The extra 15 may have come from training points, did you put any into Nature?

Will have to check again if I have put any into Nature... I probably did

Shouldn't I have then:

18 x Druid x 10 Nature = 180
21 x Stormie x 10 Nature = 210
Total = 390 (plus any I may have put against nature)

But are you saying it is only counting my nature due to Stormie *after* level 20, and ignores the points I got from Druid (i.e. they are not cumulative)? If so, that makes sense - and gives me a sad face

Skill gains are not cumulative, correct. You gained 180 points of Nature by gaining 18 levels of Druid. Then, when you started at Storm Disciple you gained no "new" Nature skill points until you reached level 39.

OK thanks Amon. There goes my hope of reporting that as a bug and getting extra skill points

And Happy Birthday for the other day
