Introduction- ROASTEDGOAT

Hi There;20160606121407_1

I Saw the early Alpha Release of The Skies appear on Steam about a month ago, and have been playing a few hours a week ever since I signed up.

Get “The Skies” on STEAM

My character is ROASTEDGOAT. If you are a player too, you may have seen me wandering around the Kimary, Crater and Lighthouse worlds over the past few weeks.

20160606121501_1What attracted me to play the Skies is for starters, it was FREE to play if you choose not to pay to win (P2W) and purchase all the micro transaction upgrades and freemium items.

The game itself is styled as some sort of a mutated version of Fallout 3, with quite a few nice differences.

The fact that the game is in alpha mode, is both a blessing and a joy- while there are *PLENTY* of irritating bugs, it is nice to see the game evolve, and become more polished as time has gone on.

So far, i have managed to grind my character up to LEVEL 10.

That, has taken quite some time and annoyance.

I made a major basic mistake when I started the game- I didn’t upgrade the statpoints of my character’s Intelligence or technology abilities. (see screenshot below)

Because the game was pretty new back then (only days old) there just was not that many easy to find tutorials on how to start your build. maybe I should just junk this character and start again, but that would just be me having a tantrum and being a bad sport to my mind.

Anyway, the stat points are pretty important, and you have to think about how best to distribute them.

I’ll do a full article on the skies character statpoint matrix eventually, but i’ll just cover the basic flaw in my own build first in this piece.

INTELLIGENCE:

Upgrading your character intelligence improves a number of things relating to:

  • Amount of XP you accumulate per quest (Oratory)
  • Amount of minor Statpoints you can accumulate per level (VERY IMPORTANT)- MAJOR STATPOINT LEVEL.
    • I CANT STRESS HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO UPGRADE THE INTELLIGENCE STATPOINTS EARLY IN THE GAME TO GET THE MAXIMUM MINOR STATPINTS TO DISTRIBUTE PER MAJOR LEVEL UP YOU ACHIEVE!
  • Cost of items, and price you can receive for items when trading within the game (Trade)

TECHNOLOGY:

  • Necessary to upgrade at least beyond LEVEL 5 so you can manufacture your own ammo later in the game- the Automatic Weapons really chew through ammo at an amazing rate- you wouldn’t realise this from using the bump, striker and shotguns like the sawnoff and hello.
  • You also need science stats so you can upgrade your weapons- without the right level, you can’t install a lot of the cool upgrades to the weapons which change their accuracy, power and usability considerably.
