How to Get Skill Points Fast

How to Get Skill Points
Pick Up Training Tasks Stack KOs Complete Skirmishes

Pick Up Training Tasks Before Entering Battle

Training tasks reward 15 Skill Points upon completion and are among the easiest to accomplish, as they can be passively completed during large-scale battles. Be sure to stack these tasks to maximize Skill Point rewards at the end of each battle.

Acquire Training Tasks From Officers

You can pick up Training tasks by talking to Officers on the World Map so don’t forget to grab them before heading into battle to stack up on Skill Points!

Stack KOs in Battle

Defeating 100 enemies awards 3 Skill Points, meaning you can earn over 30 Skill Points by reaching 1,000 KOs.

This is one of the most active ways to farm Skill Points, but it's best to use this method when the battlefield conditions are stable, giving you the opportunity to focus on defeating smaller enemies without putting your mission at risk.

Complete Skirmishes

Skirmishes are minor battles that randomly appear on the World Map, offering a modest addition to your Skill Points upon completion. Be sure to take advantage of these encounters when you come across them, as they provide valuable opportunities to earn additional Skill Points.

What Are Skill Points?

Unlock Nodes on the Skill Tree

Skill Points are used to unlock nodes on the Skill Tree, which enhance the Wanderer's offensive and defensive abilities. Since some skills require more points than others, it’s important to spend them wisely and prioritize those that align with your playstyle.

Best Skills to Get First

More Skill Trees Appear as Rank Level Increases

More Skill Trees unlock as your Rank Level progresses, allowing you to unlock more skills. Although, be sure to allocate your Skill Points wisely as they cannot be respec'd into a different node if you happen to change your mind.
