Overview
Skill Points (SP) are earned every time you gain a level. The number of skill points earned are based on your current level both in the type of level gained and overall. Skill points are used to unlock skills in the Character Info menu (Y).
Mechanics
Skill Points Per Level
The number of skill points earned per level is based on which type of level you gained (Combat, Exploration, or Trade) unless you are level 150 at which point you will always gain 1 skill point per level.
Before 150 the number of skill points gained per level scales as follows:
| Level Range | Skill Points Per Level |
|---|---|
| 1-21 | 1 |
| 22-41 | 2 |
| 42-50 | 3 |
If your Combat, Exploration, or Trade are significantly different from one another it's possible to gain fewer skill points for a subsequent overall level than you got for a previous one. For example, if you are at 20/25/25 (OL 70) and you gain an EL going to 20/26/25 (OL 71) you will gain 2 skill points. Then if you gain a CL going to 21/26/25 (OL 72) you will only gain 1 skill point.
Skill Points Per Skill Level
In order to increase a skill to the next level it always takes a number of skill points equal to the current level of the skill. So if your Beam Weapon skill is at 7 allowing the use of Level 7 Beam Weapons it will take 7 skill points to increase it to level 8.
Bonus Skill Points
There have been ways to earn bonus skill points in the past such as the Special Event mission Santa Wants Milk and Cookies ! which has been offered every year around the holidays since 2015 and awards 3 bonus skill points.
