Skills

Hello, I am new, and I would like to ask the question about skills:
What should I pick? Which ones work best? How long should it take me to get them all? Should I get them all? Which ones should I get first? Etc. Etc. Also, does anyone know how to change names? (is it possible?) Please reply:) Or find me in game and we can chat it up! :D

  • There isn't any "best" skill in this game, since it's a game about exploring what you enjoy.  I found the animal kinship skills best, since there are a lot fewer people competing for limited resources, and you can make money fast that way.

  • @WindBorn Thanks! I have the second animal one. I am now learning the LGT one though. Am I on the right track?

  • I didn't do a stack of skills in one swoop, Instead I chose a more general approach by slowly tiering up all of the skills, focusing here and there where I thought it might improve yields or was needed to learn another skill. I may not be the top miner yet or the best teleporter, but I can take care of everything I need without total reliance on the auction for sustenance or materials..

    Better learning is one that imo you *should focus on as early as possible, to speed up learning the others.

  • Hi and welcome to glitch! To change a name, go to "Account" on home page. If you poke around you will find a "Change Name" page. It only costs 100c.

    As far as skills go there are lots of ways to go. The best advice I can give is to learn all five Better Learning skills between skills 1-37. Use the search button on the forum page to find threadfs about skills and learning times and which skills folks prefer.

  • @Woochi Better Learning you say? Fine by me. Though everything is now taking more time. First skill was 1 minute and 30 seconds. Now it jumped to 60 minutes. How strange.

  • Mr. Glitchen, every skill you learn makes it longer to learn all the rest of the skills.

    Better Learning skills reduce the penalty that is applied.  Many of us got all 5 BL skills before we learned much more than the basics.

  • @GreyGoose Thanks so much for that! I wanted my name to be "glitch" or "mr. e" but I had to settle with the "mr. eh". Lol, right?

  • @ Mr. Eh: Glad that worked!

  • Mr eh, the higher the skill the more time it will take to learn. Better learning simply shaves time off that ever escalating wait. It's the player's choice to take advantage or not by doing the BL tasks.

    You can also shave some time off of skill learning by spending favor points acquired from actions and shrine donations, but BL is a "before taxes" method that guarantees the lowest possible learning time for any given skill, spent favor points or no.
