This guide was created for me mostly so I can gain the most points from book, artifacts and skill trainers. This guide also uses the current unofficial patch play.
Not for Vanilla game.


Each section is based on when they are chronologically accessible. The section titles are based on the hub which you unlock as you progress through the game not necessarily where they are located. In each section is location and related quest.
At the start of the section is overall view of the skills gained in that section. Afterward is the location and quest of each book and trainer.
I included the artifacts in a different section. Also the summary includes a table with all the information in the guide.


Example:



Skill Name: Name of skill increasing.

Ex. from table: Melee

Min: The minimum amounts of points required for the skill to be taught.

Ex. from table: 2

Max: The maximum amounts of points required for the skill to be taught.

Ex. from table: 3

RQD Research Points: The required research points needed in order to read the book.

Ex. from table: 5

So for that skill melee, the minimum amount of points in melee needs to be 2 but 3 is the maximum of Melee points allowed meaning that melee must be less than or equal to 3 to be able to use.
