Question on skill raise mechanics...

[Bashar_Teg]

I've have been more or less just raising my skill by standard adventuring / hunting. I've gotten to 100 in a few things but I am trying to round out my character. I've found I have quite a few skills with just 10 - 20 ish points in them that I never use. I've set the skill arrow to point down for these skills but they never go down and the skills i want to train have stalled. If I unlock a higher skill, all of the sudden my skills I'm trying to train start to increase but the high unlocked skill starts to drop.

So I guess my question is this, are there some skills that have a minimum value that is greater that zero? I don't know why they are not dropping as I train more desired skills.

There is a show real button on your skill gump. Anything in excess of that value is caused by your stats. The 700 total skill cap is based off of your Real Skill.
