-There are currently four skills lines - '''Repair''', '''Production''', '''Administration''', and '''Research'''. Trade-Off skills are marked with '''(T)'''. Trade-Off skills are special in that the skills that depend on them do not need training--you gain the ability to use the dependent skills when you train the trade-off skill to the reqauired level.+There are currently four skills lines - '''Repair''', '''Production''', '''Administration''', and '''Research'''.

 +'''Skills''' that are not available until another skill is trained to a specific level are shown indented under that level of the required skill.
 + 
 +'''''Abilities''''' are shown next to the level of the skill where they become available. Abilities do not have levels, and thus are not trained.

 +Tradeoff abilities are marked with (T). A tradeoff ability needs to be made active before its effects apply.

==Training Skills== ==Training Skills==
-Skills in Seed are trained over time, although they may also be boosted by the use of [[Inspirations]]. Training time (in minutes) is calcuated according the following formula:+Skills in Seed are trained over time, although they may also be boosted by the use of [[Inspirations]]. Training time (in seconds) is calculated according the following formula:
- '''Training Time = ( 2 ^ level ) * 300 * ( difficulty ^ 3 )'''+ '''Training Time = ( 2 ^ Level ) * 750 * ( Diff ^3 )'''
So for instance, to train Administration Level 2 (Diff: 2) it will take: So for instance, to train Administration Level 2 (Diff: 2) it will take:
- '''(2 ^ 2) * 300 * (2 ^ 3) = 9600 seconds = 160 minutes''' ''(2h40m)''+ '''( 2^[Level 2] ) * 750 * ( [Diff 2]^3 ) = 24000 seconds = 400 minutes''' ''(6h40m)''
To train Containment Tech Level 4 (Diff: 3) it will take: To train Containment Tech Level 4 (Diff: 3) it will take:
- '''(2 ^ 4) * 300 * (3 ^ 3) = 43200 seconds = 720 minutes''' ''(~12h)''+ '''( 2^[Level 4] ) * 750 * ( [Diff 3]^3 ) = 324000 seconds = 5400 minutes''' ''(90h)''
 + 
 +===Shortcut Formula===
 + 
 +In order to keep the arithmetic a bit easier to calculate, the formula can be simplified to:
 + 
 + '''Training Time (in minutes) = 25 x ( 2 ^ (current level) ) x (difficulty ^ 3)'''
 + 
 +''Note that the above times are retail times and changed since beta. It has been changed with a factor of 2.5 since beta.''
 + 
 +====Training Times====
-''Note that the above times have been shortened for beta. It has not yet been said what the times will be for the official game. Also, the official formula is actually "(2^(desired level)) * 300 * (difficulty^3)" - which gives training time in seconds, since the skill system increments a training point each second.''+To simplify this for those who would rather not calculate it, here are the times it take to train a skill both shown as the time to train from one level to the other (the top number), and the cumulative time to train from the beginning, or level 0 (the bottom number, in italics). In the following, "m" means minutes, "h" means hours, and "d" means days.
-==Bugs and Workarounds==+The table lists up to difficulty 4 skills, which are the highest ones seen so far.
-Currently, there is a bug that causes training time to be lost when the server crashes. One workaround for this is to login in periodically, switch your training to another skill, and then switch it back. This forces the training to be recorded back to the database, like a save point. However, due to another bug, sometimes the training display shows both skills training simultaneously. This appears to be a display bug, and it is likely that neither skill is actually training. You will probably have to restart the game client to get the display to correct itself.+
-After a server crash, training does not restart automatically like it should. You will have to do this manually for now.+{|border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=5

Skill Trees

See also Skills for a detailed explanation of Skills and Abilities

There are currently four skills lines - Repair, Production, Administration, and Research.

Skills that are not available until another skill is trained to a specific level are shown indented under that level of the required skill.

Abilities are shown next to the level of the skill where they become available. Abilities do not have levels, and thus are not trained.

Tradeoff abilities are marked with (T). A tradeoff ability needs to be made active before its effects apply.

An alphabetic list of skills is available.

Training Skills

Skills in Seed are trained over time, although they may also be boosted by the use of Inspirations. Training time (in seconds) is calculated according the following formula: 

Training Time = ( 2 ^ Level ) * 750 * ( Diff ^3 )

So for instance, to train Administration Level 2 (Diff: 2) it will take: 

( 2^[Level 2] ) * 750 * ( [Diff 2]^3 ) = 24000 seconds = 400 minutes (6h40m)

To train Containment Tech Level 4 (Diff: 3) it will take: 

( 2^[Level 4] ) * 750 * ( [Diff 3]^3 ) = 324000 seconds = 5400 minutes (90h)

Shortcut Formula

In order to keep the arithmetic a bit easier to calculate, the formula can be simplified to: 

Training Time (in minutes) = 25 x ( 2 ^ (current level) ) x (difficulty ^ 3)

Note that the above times are retail times and changed since beta. It has been changed with a factor of 2.5 since beta.

Training Times

To simplify this for those who would rather not calculate it, here are the times it take to train a skill both shown as the time to train from one level to the other (the top number), and the cumulative time to train from the beginning, or level 0 (the bottom number, in italics). In the following, "m" means minutes, "h" means hours, and "d" means days.

The table lists up to difficulty 4 skills, which are the highest ones seen so far.
