Skill trainer
From Guild Wars Wiki
A skill trainer is an NPC that teaches a roleplaying character new skills. Skill trainers generally have a standard set of skills which they offer in addition to any non-elite skills in the current campaign that the account has unlocked.
A skill trainer can be easily identified by the "[Skills]" suffix in their name.
To purchase a skill, a skill point (
) and an amount of gold is required. The amount of gold depends on the number of skills that have been previously purchased. The first skill purchased costs 50
; the cost progresses up to 1
if over 20 skills have been purchased (from any trainer). In total, the first 20 skills cost you 6100.
The following table shows the progression of gold cost for each skill purchased:
| Skill | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | Over 20 |
| Price | 50 | 60 | 70 | 80 | 90 | 100 | 125 | 150 | 175 | 200 | 250 | 300 | 350 | 400 | 475 | 550 | 625 | 700 | 800 | 900 | 1000 |
PvE has several alternatives to skill trainers which may be worth considering:
- Skill quests. Many early quests are fast and easy, however many quests later in Prophecies can take quite a while. Additionally, it may be worthwhile to buy certain skills before they become available from quests.
- Skill Tomes, which only allow characters to learn skills that have already been unlocked, but do not require skill points, and may be cheaper than learning skills from a skill trainer.
- Signets of Capture, which can be used to learn skills which have not yet been unlocked.
- Hero skill trainers, NPCs in Nightfall and Eye of the North who offer a few skills for one hero skill point each, with no gold cost.
