Ratio

Can anyone advise as to what would be a wise ratio to spend on skills/body/career points?
The first 50 build was fun to partition. I'm still new and getting relatively larger amounts of build now, but the build will be more sparse as time goes on so I'm looking ahead and wondering what more experienced people have done with partitioning their spending.

Because the first 15 build has a bonus to it, and 16-30 is the base build cost, i went with the first 30. After that, it is free game

Squirreling away some build each event into Body/Career Points is a smart investment, because you will gradually see an increase even if it doesn't seem like much at the time. As for a specific number, that's complicated and the answer doesn't even stop at "Well, it depends what kind of character you play," because everyone has different play styles. You could have a Bard who rarely sings, for instance. Ahem.

Think of the skills you use most often and where you are when a fight breaks out. Those two factors should help you figure out roughly where your points should go.

Also remember that if you're under three events attended, you're still eligible to rewrite, which includes everything from name, race, class, body points--anything!

I hope it is ok for me to respond to this, as it is asking advise, not rules.

If you are going to be a heavy (or pure) caster, I really recommend putting some build to Casting points every event, especially when you earn a lot of build. It doesn't pay to get all the prayers/spells and not have the ability to cast them reliably. When you get up to higher levels, having a solid casting pool base makes your life easier when you have to start paying for expensive things with low per-event earnings.

I second Jason. As a caster, until I broke 50mp I was running out of points every period. Even after that I went through most of them every period. If you're a caster, try to put one point into career points each game if you can. If you're a fighter, it's a bit harder because you'll have to budget build to save for purchasing, but knowing you have a specific skill in mind helps to budget.

For newer players, definitely get to that 15 points in body sooner rather than later- it makes you less likely to drop fast and you get extra for your points because of ratio.

Also, after a few games you'll realize what skills you seem to use more than others. For example, I realized early on I needed a lot of disarm traps because if the kinds of mods I was on. I learned 9, because thst got me through most mods I was on. Now that I don't really do those kinds of mods I don't stack extras of that skill, and I've even unlearned uses of skills I rarely used on that list. Now I'm more combat heavy and magic heavy; so each game I try to stack one body and one magic point unless there's a specific skill I'm saving for.

The good thing about the KR system is that you can always unlearn things you don't need.
