Collected all Skyshards.. Still not enough Skillpoints

Kammakazi

Sitting at 250+ Skillpoints, not enough on my main crafter!! 50 on all crafting except Enchanting (30)

How to get more? Should I just complete all quests that give SPs? Stay in PvP forever?

Qyrk

If you don't have enough skill points and there's skill points available via quests and dungeons you haven't acquired yet, no brainer to just do them.

Balinor13

Complete every quest in the game. Finish all the public dungeon group challenges. You can do all of those by yourself except one, and that one takes 2 people. I still have a few left from group dungeons, and more from PVP ranks. I have every crafting skill maxed out and i still have enough points for plenty of combat skills. At first it was tough, but now im done with researches so thats 12 extra points.

Do all dungeons give SP both in Regular & Veteran mode?

What do you need more skill points for? At V16, I craft everything, have the skills I use on 2 bars, have maybe 20 or 30 skills I don't use, every passive that I need, and I'm still sitting on 50.

Very nice compilation of all the skill point sources, thank you! Will copy paste this in my 'ESO Notes.txt' for future reference.

+2 from the mages guild quest line = 335.

And IIRC you can finish the mage's guild quest on an alt, bank the book and use it on your main. Unless that's been fixed, it would give you unlimited skill points (though it's a pain to do the whole mage's guild quest for 2 skill points).

Don't forget public dungeons like @Balinor13 said. not just group dungeons.This is helpful

I have done all quests and all skyshards in game, only skillpoints I miss now is from pvp. Still its far from enough. People can say what they want but the answer is simple: no, there is not enough skillpoints for a character to be full crafter and unlock all weapon skills and morphs. I have 298 skillpoints.

@Enodoc

@Qyrk Nice catch! I assume since the Normal and Veteran versions of these dungeons are essentially the same, that there's not any extra skill points for doing both versions like there is in the other dungeons?

Septimus_Magna

Respec your skill points, you probably have many skills that you dont use anymore.

Most people aren't going to max all weapon trees.

Flyersfan314

You have enough

Hyperplexed

Pretty sure that leveling up to lvl 50 gives you 50 points and not 49... why? because when you start a new character either you do or skip the tutorial, you get out as lvl 3 with 3 skill points. I have 2 bank characters, at lvl 3 that have 3 skill points, and never did anything.

@Hyperplexed
You're unfortunately incorrect. There is a main quest line while in wailing prison that gives you a skill point, coming out of it makes you around level 3. Therefore it will be 3 skill points coming out of wailing prison.

That would make sense then

EDIT: Now I also understand why the main quest as 11 and not 10)

Don't you get +1SP from PvP if you do the PvP tutorial mission (by answering that you don't know how to pvp)?

ADarklore

I think some people are just OCD... why would you want to level ALL crafts along with ALL weapons and ALL class abilities? Surely you don't use them all, so why put SPs into things you don't regularly use?

I have an alt that is my crafter, I think it works much better this way as I can put all SPs into crafting and not worry about weapon/class abilities while my main can focus on putting SPs into weapon/class instead of crafting.

No, you do not.

You get +1 SP per PvP rank (which is why very few people will get to the theoretical maximum because those later PvP ranks are hellishly hard to earn). The tutorial quest rewards you with AP--enough AP to earn your first PvP rank, and that's where you get that SP--not directly from the quest, but indirectly from the AP reward of the quest.

timparr

I don't think you are supposed to have enough SP for every skill available. The system should be designed to force you to make choices about where you spend your expertise.

IMHO, that's a better approach. I'm acting like that. I've one char and I'm developing it as a craftsman. However, I do fight and explore around with him.

When my craftsman is finished, I'll start a new alt for fighting purposes.

Actually, I believe you get TWO SPs for completing the tutorial, I know I've received two in the past. The final one you get when you finish the mission and speak to General Atahba, the first I am not sure where it drops, but upon completing one of the various tutorial fetch quests.

That's because you rank up twice if you do the whole thing. It takes 1600 AP to hit Volunteer Grade 2, and you get a total of 1700 AP by doing the whole tutorial sequence.

lucian_banneb18_ESO

So if you miss the tutorial it's not actually a loss of SP.

Unfortunately, they fixed that. You can't bank the book anymore.
