Skills

Apart from the time penalty, what are the disadvantages of exceeding your brain capacity?

What is the best way to increase your brain capacity? I'm exceeding it by 3 skills right now, I want to learn more but don't want to unlearn skills!

  • The only way to expand brain capacity is to get the right upgrade cards.

  • It's only a time penalty- nothing else. There's no reason to worry about going over. knitmeapony has the right of how to increase it.

  • If you are only exceeding it by 3 skills I wouldn't worry about it — I'm exceeding it by 41 :)

  • Unlearning skills isn't as bad as it might first seem.

  • I have all the skills, because I want to be able to make everything in game. The only effect that has is a 715 percent time penalty on learning new ones. While that sounds quite awful, it's really not that bad - by spending favour points, I can still reduce times quite a bit, and I don't really need to learn each new skill as soon as it appears.

    Even while I was still working on a large number of existing skills, some of those took very long. But there's so much to do in game that you don't really need to learn all the skills at once. I found spacing them out quite nice, so I could experiment with them one by one, rather than having a bunch and not knowing what to do with them.

  • Thanks all for the info and tip. I feel better about exceeding my brain capacity now :)

  • To give you an idea: I started playing Glitch "full time" in May... I probably had only learned a couple of skills from back when I joined in October of last year and just today I finished learning ALL the skills. So it will take you some months to learn it all, but its doable. 

    I pretty much was learning ALL THE TIME (Glitch HQ app and Glitch Academy for some help) as well as spending my last few months donating for favor points like a crazy lady. :D

    Good luck on your Quest to become an edumacated Glitch!

  • I refuse to learn every skill.  I'm very non-completionist about Glitch.  As a result, I was able to learn and unlearn the Master Gardening and PM3 skills (starting from not having any Croppery skills at all) in less time that some glitches took to learn just one of them.  I unlearned them because they weren't useful enough to my play style, but I had the ability to learn them fast and wasn't wanting anything else so checked them out.  I have an 80% learning penalty but would really like to trim it down further.
