Skill trainer

From GuildWiki

A skill trainer is an NPC who teaches new skills. In addition to whatever skills a trainer normally teaches, each skill trainer teaches all non-elite skills you have unlocked on your account for that Campaign (since the March 10th, 2006 update). A skill trainer is easily recognizable by the "[Skills]" suffix in their name.

[edit] Price

Learning a skill from a skill trainer costs one Skill Point and some gold. Every skill you buy increases the gold cost of the next skill, to a maximum of 1 platinum (1000 gold) per skill after buying 20 skills.

Skill	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18	19	20
Price	50	60	70	80	90	100	125	150	175	200	250	300	350	400	475	550	625	700	800	900

[edit] Notes

• Don't waste Skill Points and gold. If a skill is available as a quest reward (i.e. for free), then you should preferably get it as such. Double-check the acquisition details of the respective skill and/or the Skill Quests list before you buy a skill from a trainer. This is much more so in Prophecies, as a relatively larger amount of skills can be obtained via quest rewards.

• When you talk to a skill trainer a menu will pop up to show you which skills he has available and which of them you already know (greyed out).

• Skills not known by a character but unlocked through some method are tagged with (unlocked).

• In addition to the trainer's normal inventory of skills, they also offer any skill (not elite) you have unlocked with your account.

• From the Kryta region on, most skill trainers also offer the Signet of Capture, regardless of completion of the quest Malaquire's Test. There is no cost difference between getting a skill from a trainer or capturing it from a boss. (The Signet of Capture is required for capturing elite skills. Skill trainers never train elite skills.)

• Dakk, the skill trainer at Ember Light Camp, trains every non-elite Core and Prophecies skill.

• All Canthan skill trainers outside of Shing Jea Island teaches every non-elite Core skill and many Factions skills.

• Zenaida, the skill trainer at Harvest Temple, teaches every non-elite Core and Factions skill.

• Zendeht, the skill trainer in Gate of Torment, is known to teach every non-elite Nightfall skill that can't be unlocked by recruiting Heroes, and is presumed to teach every non-elite Core and Nightfall skill.

• The Guild Hall skill trainer is a skill trainer for all non-elite Core skills you have currently unlocked on your account, allowing your PvE character to learn Core skills which you have unlocked with Balthazar Faction or other PvE characters. You may also buy a Signet of Capture, letting you capture skills before you have done Malaquire's Test or encountered skill trainers with it. The skill trainer does not allow you to unlock new skills, it only makes it possible to buy unlocked skills.
