Cadwell's Gold and Skill points... am I bugged or just recalling incorrectly?

I've always been under the impression that the Cadwell's Silver and Cadwell's Gold objectives grant skill points (usually 5 or 6 of them in each zone). Lately though, my VR8 toon hasn't been receiving skill points for completing those quest objectives. It started halfway through VR7 (more accurately, that's when I noticed it). Coincidentally, it started right after I had a vamp player bite me and finished the quest to become a vamp.

Has anybody else noticed this? Or have I just been incorrect in the notion that those quests reward skill points?

    Yeah they do grant skill points.

    However, I am sure when I completed a couple I didn't get any notification and may well have not received a skill-point either. However, I have such an excess (nearly 60 right now), that it wasn't a number I was keeping my eye on.

    I'm only on silver; each of the Cadwell quests has given me a skill point, so far. Just starting Eastmarch (4th zone of silver for AD)

    Not all quests of Cadwell's Almanach grant skill points. I think it's just 3 of them in each zone.

    2/3 of them don't. Once you get to EP V3 Zone, you only seem to get 1/2 Skill Point per zone.

    How do DC/AD experience this? Do the skill points vanish after V2 zone?

    This.

    The Cadwell's Almanac quest chains are basically the main faction quests in the area, but only the absolutely central plotline quests grant skillpoints, same as when you leveled up in your faction.

    That may be it. Thank you. I guess in this instance, I just happened to chain together a series that don't grant the points, and only just noticed.

    At least, I hope that's the case. =D

    I think there are three skill point quests per zone. Usually those quest are part of the Cadwell's series. I think there may be a couple here and there that are not actually part of the main story so Cadwell's may not cover 100% of those quests, but I am not positive. I don't remember getting more than three skill points in a zone though.

    I have noticed that when I get a skill point from a skill point quest and have shard points, the shard points sometimes get reset to 0/0, making me lose some shard points.
    FYI - There is no such thing as 'night capping' in a world wide MMO.
    FYI - There was no paid Beta. When they launched the game the Beta was over, even if you don't think it was.
    FYI - It's B2P not F2P. There is a difference.
    FYI - It doesn't take any player skill to mash keys or buttons in this game. The ones that stay alive longer have the better internet connection and speed.
    FYI - The game is not broken, it still works. It just has 'bugs' that need to be fixed.
    Balance is a "Bad" thing.

    Example: There were hundreds of Jedi and only two Sith in Star Wars. The Jedi wanted, "Balance in the Force" and they got it. Now there are only two Jedi and two Sith.

    You don't get 1 skill per quest..I finished both and got like 8 or 9 from quest alone.

    This is the answer you're looking for. You get 1 skillpoint per zone as you finish the main quest, and also get the quest for the next zone. Any other skill points you get in that zone are from other quests, not Caldwell silver or gold.

    Not all of them do, actually what gives them are the core quests in the 15pt achievements like "Matchmaker" as an example. It is the theme of the zone, in that case the theme was marriage and while 3 of the quests were related to hitching Old Silvy, Balarata wasn't.

    I'd probably open a ticket about that. Never seen that happen, and this is the first I've ever heard of it.
