Subskill Hunting

[FunnyMan3595]

Many of the subskills are very difficult to locate in the skill list. Negation Spells is obvious, but good luck figuring out which magic skill has Phemes or Palette on the first try. The non-magic skills are often worse; I had to expand almost the whole skill tree before I found Diplomacy hiding under Heraldry.

 

There are several ways to solve this:

1. Make it possible to search the skill tree for a particular skill.
   
2. Allow the (sub)skill list to be sorted alphabetically.
   
3. Clicking a subskill name opens the relevant parent skill and highlights the subskill in the skill tree in addition to opening the relevant lore entry.
   
4. Lore entries for a subskill tell you its parent skill's name.
   

The problem is also present when picking a subskill to train, but fixing it there is less important if you can back out and look it up in the main list.

Thanks for the suggestion- we are planning to implement #3 on this list first, but if possible we are going to add #2 and #1.

Dont forget my recommendation of a sortable skill report.

Oh, it's on the list.

Anyway, Foresight Pheme can get you Planning if you have access to it early. Do your classwork or something.

 

EDIT: Fierce Pheme, too.

I think you missed the point. The problem isn't acquiring the skills, it's finding them in your skill list once you have them.

Then I missed the point. Planning is in Compete, in case you didnt know. True, looking for it in game is a bit hard, but that's why we can alt-tab out to check our text file, or search in wiki. Wanna see my text file? Not complete and very much a note but any gamer should prepare such.
