Skill Points after Lvl 50?

heavy_artillery · June 2016

I feel like I'm missing a big explanation that was given somewhere, and usually I don't even worry about it on my max lvl characater EXCEPT that I'm trying to level a new Profession and need Skill Points!

SO, my question is this:

Are Skyshards the only way to earn Skill Points after level 50. I'm currently CP249 if that makes any difference.

Thanks!

You can do the main questlines for the other alliances, you get skill points for completing those.

Many quests give skillpoints. You also get a skillpoint for each Alliance Rank you earn in PvP. The story quest associated with each 4-man dungeon also gives a skill point. The "Group Challenge" in each big public dungeon gives a skill point. Just do the main storyline quests in Orsinium, Thieves Guild, and Dark Brotherhood and you should get a bunch of skillpoints. You can also do the zone storyline quests in Cadwell Silver and Gold. Each zone (Glenumbra, Grahtwood, Shadowfen, etc., etc.) has 3 skill points available from quests. Many of these quests have prerequisite quests, though. So you may end up doing 10 quests as part of unlocking the 3 quests that give a skill point.

There may be a few other sources of skill points I am overlooking.

Places to acquire skillpoints aside from 1-50 leveling:

- Skyshards in Cadwell's Silver/ Cadwell's Gold/ Cyrodiil/ Wrothgar/ Hew's Bane/ Gold Coast
- Zone/ guild main story quests
- 4-man instanced dungeon quests (Normal mode and Veteran mode have different quests)
- Group challenge in public dungeons
- Gaining ranks in the Alliance War
