level 100 of skills is just a number?

waiting for the opportunity to HIDE the skills at 100 (to other players) i stopped all my high level skills at 99
anyone know if reaching the LVL 100 give to the skill an extra bonus ? (i don't think... the only extra bonus is to be killed much more easly on PVP)

 

Just higher coefficient than 99 for now. The other point of obtaining skill level 100 beside showing GM tag and able to help other fellow avatars to gain skill faster is to be able to approach level 101 and higher.

 

For some things it does give an "extra bonus" - but not like you would think. For example, getting rapid fire to level 100 allows you to shoot an extra arrow, but that is because you get an extra arrow per 20 levels.

The amount of xp it takes to go from 95 to 100 is 70% of the xp from 1-95 and 5x the amount of xp from 1-80, most of the time it is a lot of xp for very little gains for those last few levels.

 

But... but... I get to say GM this... and GM that!

72 is my highest so far. Just want the extra glyph in death touch, then I'll be happy. Maybe I'll wear and show off a self made 5-glyph badge that no one else will have... because I will only make one for myself.

Yes, I jest, but I find the GM need silly, but not as silly as the showing off.

 

The devs were talking about giving a chance for the masterwork skills to return your item to full durability if you're a GM.

 

IMHO stay at 90.
The exp cost to go from 90-100 is utter bs.
At level 90 focus cost is way less.
As soon as you hit 100, the extra whatever is pittance compared to the huge jump in focus cost and the cost in exp.
Just for the exp from 90-100 in 1 skill, you could probably 0-60 4 skills or even more.
GM is for suckers, especially those who went GM in chain lightning lol !!!!!!

 

It really depends on what skill that you're talking about. There's nothing magical about hitting 100, but there are lots of things still worth investing in beyond 100, which is something you obviously can't do if you stop prior to that.

 

Devs talk a lot.... so much talk, no doing.
Where is the doing?
Doing more hats, cloaks, pets, decorations and emotes....... polishing daisy fields.
Flapping bats flap faster.
Too busy for content, far too busy.

 

It can be a tattoo also, for the right price ....

 

so you have a few million xp in your adventure pool... why not use that to make your avatar stronger?

 

I personally would rather not have the ability to size up another avatar by looking at a drop down menu of all their GM's. Some of your abilities should be kept private if you so desire. That being said, if you feel the need to display a GM title, I much prefer the system in UO where you were allowed to pick a GM and display that title only.

Example: Grand Master Alchemist, Grand Master Armsman, Grand Master Mage, Grand Master Tailor...etc.

Nope.. i don't have millions and millions of points UNUSED... i've used all points for my skills.. but some of that skills are locked to lvl 99

+1 Same idea

 

I think that all of my abilities should be private unless I want to make them public.

 

Don't hide your sexy bod! We want to see it!

 

Its not very realistic to see 12 gm tags on someone and be like ok i can take you on, or i cannot.

 

Free the Bod!

 

Agreed
