Hi, I've just swapped over from an imperial to a bosmer and whilst all my other skills have transferred over and remain as they were, I had to spend a further 9 skill points in the racial skill section. Does anyone know if I do a skill respec whether I will get those skill points back?

    If you haven't noticed, those 9 skill points you used for your Bosmer Racial Passives, were actually refunded from the points you used in the Imperial Racial Passives. If you are on PC and in doubt, log into PTS and try it out.

    There is an actual big issue.

    I paid Saturday for a race change and noticed that I was not refunded all my skill points either.

    Even more....I actually lost a few and had to pay to reset my skills.

    I didn't count beforehand so I think I'm just screwed but this is on Xbox One NA and I was a Redguard Templar who switched to a High elf.

    I paid for a morph reset first to check and was still short points so there is a problem with this for sure @ZOS_GinaBruno

    Logging in and out does fix or add the lost skill points back. Beware of this if you pay for a race change

    Hi, thanks for the info.

    I had 18 unspent skill points before the change and I had 18 after. The only difference being, my racial skills were empty and required 9 of those 18 unassigned skill points. I'm on the PS4, so can't access PTS.

    Thanks @NewBlacksmurf.

    Had the same problem. Does this mean I get Nord passives, and Argonian?

    Super tank ftw!

    This is exactly what happens. I didn't have 18 unused tho. I had 2

    Then I went to check the passives cause the stats seemed off after the swap. That's when I noticed the racial skill points were empty and I didn't have more skill points.

    I'll open a ticket once Xbox one is up and I'm on break but this is crazy bad as a bug but it was reported way back on pc PTS when added. Guess it was never addressed for consoles.

    Opening a ticket is the only thing that can done now, but just check the character screen for passives, if they are applying from the previous race or not.

    Seems like they fixed it on PTS but not on live, which is very strange, I checked the race change out on PTS a little while back and it was working as intended, never tested it on live though.

    This is a serious bug and ZOS should look into this with priority.
