Skill point allocation glitch

[Gluttony]

Originally, when a toon leveled up they didn't have their skill points spent for them. With the implementation of the new tutorial your first 4 skills have a point added to them as soon as you get them. Well if you gain a level by completing a quest you can receive that a free point to do with as you wish. The only requirement is that your final xp gained before leveling is by quest (perhaps being in town is also important). More testing is needed but here is some proof as I have it now.



This glitch could be used to skip some useless skill that points are auto added to, Avian Scream comes to mind, without having to use 2 plat to respec.

Edit: It seems the free skill point has to be spent before any xp is gained, it cannot be left unspent or it will automatically add to the skill that it was intended for. This also brings up the point that if a toon would happen to purchase a respec before getting their default points added to the predetermined skills, the next level could add points where they would be unwanted instead of giving a free point.

Fixed for SL with 1.0.2 Content Update (68338):

• Fixed 1 skill point always being assigned to the first skill even if auto-leveling is turned off

Fixed for PL with 1.7.4 Content Update (72657):

• Fixed automatically mapping a skill when gaining a level due to experience from a quest turnin
