Exactly how many Skillpoints are there?

Kammakazi

I can think of the first 50 + 14 VR levels that give points.

Certain quests give points.

PvP levels give points.

Public Dungeon Bosses give points.

Every 3 Skyshards give points.

5 less than you absolutely need

I do every quest, and collect every skyshard in each zone before I even move onto another. I've come across people at my same lvl and I had a lot more sp than them. So it's worth trying to collect them all per zone as you travel around.

I have, give or take, just over that and it's plenty thus far.

I'll assume you're following the ever so popular "Master Crafter" in which you want to be able to craft everything. Even if you do that, as long as you're not putting skill points into passives/skills that you don't use, you should still have enough points left to place in your essential combat skills and passives. Unfortunately, you can be both Master Crafter and Master of Combat. Doing the former means only specializing in the skills you need to perform your role in PvE.

I have Blacksmithing, Clothing and Alchemy maxed out, all passives filled. I have all of Ardent Flame, Draconic Power and Earthen Heart skills and passives filled, with only the essential morphs I use. I also have skills/passives that are purely for PvP, saving me from costly constant respecs and I still have 31 skill points left over.

So, there are plenty, as long as you're intelligently allocating them.

I have all passives in light armor, all but 5 piece passive for medium and heavy, all class abilitys morphed, all class and racial passives, all passives in mage and fighters guild plus a few abilitys, 4/4 for pickpocket and imp hide, 3 passives in DW, all passives in resto staff with 2 abilitys, all passives into soul magic, all undaunted passives, rapid maneuver morphed, all passives except keen eye for all crafting except provision. Still have 14 left for when i go back to vampire

So, it would seem that there really are "enough" out there. You original comment contradicts this, in that you say there aren't enough, but this comment proves you've been able to select what you want, comfortably, while still having some left over.

Why are you trying to start an argument?

I still would like to get the passives in Destruction staff and eventually get everything in provisioning. Whats it matter to you if i say i don't have enough for what i'm trying to do?

On the contrary, I wasn't. In fact, bringing it up, you have. Rather than taking things personally, take things said with a grain of salt. Not everything said is meant to spite you, revolve around you or belittle your goals and playstyles.

However, it doesn't matter to me what you want to do. The fact is, there are enough skillpoints and the idea being a master at everything was never intended. I play a similar method, but slightly different. I have all skill lines maxed and the skills I "intend" to use morphed to their Rank IV versions. All crafts are Rank 50. I've respecced at least 30 times in order to do this. But I'm not using more than a quarter of any of it. I place skill points into things I know I'm using, while the others are available, should I decide to switch from magicka to a stamina build. Maybe I want to heal instead of tank or dps. Maybe I want to go pure pvp. A quick respec scroll or shrine respec can fix that, without feeling like I don't have "enough" skillpoints. The idea of a "Master of Everything" setup was never intended, though I can see the desire for it and would love to have it myself. Being versatile is a good alternative.

324 or 325 if you choose the right person in the final quest of mage guild

You were the one who quoted my original post first, you were the one who said i was wrong, you are the one making assumptions and belittling my playstyle. I'm not mad nor am i trying to argue i was simply curious as to why you felt you needed to start all this. Why did it bother you that i said i don't have enough skill points? And what does this even have to do with the OP's question?

It's fine if you did'nt MEAN to start an argument, but just be more selective in the words and phrases you use when talking to people on here.

Actually, no, I never said you were wrong. I said what you were saying contradicted what you described.

No, I'm not. In fact, I agree with your playstyle, which I went on to explain, as I very much play in a similar way.

Reeko wrote: »

Actually, I didn't "start" anything. I pointed out that there are enough and there are ways to mitigate the problem with not being able to fill every single skill/passive with skill points.

Same could be said for your original comment, but that's neither here nor there.

My choice of words was not the issue. The issue was you taking what I said personally, which wasn't necessary. Rather than taking it from another point of view, you immediately went on the defensive as if someone was attacking you, which was not ever the case. A lot of context in written text can be lost when you can't fully grasp the emotion behind them. Not everything should be taken as an insult, but (and I'm just throwing this out there) maybe as a means of advice or suggestion. And just because this is a public forum, doesn't mean every response is meant to incite anger or fire.
