I've been playing with 0 points in Attributes

Holycannoli · January 2015

They must have been refunded at some point between October and a few days ago when I returned and I don't know why. Obviously something about them changed, but what?

I also don't remember how I spent my attribute points for my characters and am now lost as to how to re-spend them. Is it best to spend them all on health and use enchantments for magicka and stamina? My characters use both magicka and stamina (destro + bow or destro + 2-hand etc.).

If someone can also tell me what changed about attributes to warrant a respec that would be great. I've gone back as far as patch notes for 1.52. Lots of skill changes then and I did re-spend my refunded skill points but I'm not seeing anything about attributes.

Nothing changed on attribute points.

Hmm then why were they all refunded? I guess the wisdom from a year ago - all points in health and enchantments tp cover magicka and stamina - still applies then?

Update 5 changed the way attribute points work for VR levels (you now get attribute points as a Veteran same as you do levels 1-49). As a result, Attribute Points were refunded. We got a pop up after first logon advising us of this. Because you skipped that update and downloaded the current one, you probably did not get that pop up.

They added Attribute points for Vet ranks. To compensate for this they reduced the increase in each stat for each VR. Mathematically your total maximum base stats are now less, but you are also able to raise one or two stats above their previous maximums.

I got a pop up but only noticed what it said about my skills getting refunded, and it was a lot of them. It probably mentioned attributes too.

You still get 15 Health for each attribute point into Health and 10 Stamina/Magicka for each attribute point into Stamina/Magicka.

attribute points were added to veteran ranks a few months ago, when previously one got no attribute points for veteran ranks. ZOS refunded everyone's attribute points so we could all re-build our builds.

I think anyway

they added stat points for the VR lvls and because of that gave a free respec to everybody.
