Skill and Experience Points

[OctoberSky]

I believe that the maximum skill points in the game is 114. From what I've been able to observe:

1. Shroud Root = 1 skill point
   
2. Level Promotion = 2 skill point
   
3. Elixer Well = 3 skill point

I can roughly count 12 Elixer Wells on my map for 36 points and 24 promotions should give 48 points or 84 points accumulated. This should mean 30 shroud roots to get the balance. Looking for some feedback/correction on this number.
I started taking a closer look at XP as my new character progresses the Highlands. Level 17 requires 3967 XP, level 18 3995 and 19 4024. Visiting a flame sanctum provides 300 XP. A flame shrine only 25 as is discovering a shroud root. Reading a scroll gets 10. Finding a mission waypoint gives 100. Mining tin is 10 XP per ore while copper is 9 and fossilized bone 7. Defeating a level 20 scavenger beserker (with the poison machete) gives 150 XP while a level 20 scavenger matron gives 300 (and her summoned dogs 48 each). A level 20 shroud archer is 60 XP while a level 20 shroud spear is only 36. Ordinarily these numbers would be found on a wiki but both wiki out there are in their infancy so hopefully folks in these forums can start to flush out the data from their own experiences or their interpretation of an algorithm (or db extract).

Yes, you are right. It's 114 maximum skill points at the moment.

OK I only have 74 so I was wondering too as I saw someone with 114. Every time I kill an enemy or mine I get 0xp because I'm level 25 now. Guess I have to start going to those elixir wells I was avoiding. I read somewhere that the shroud roots don't give additional points once you beat them the first time unlike other farmable materials. Is that right?

Elixer wells and shroud roots will re-generate but you only get credit for the 1st clear. Each biome cleared of roots from both wells and standalone sites will merit a Steam achievement so if you have managed to get all of the achievements then you have likely maxed the skill points.
You also get 250 XP for the Elixer well.

And until a wiki comes up with better nomenclature, the forum seems the best venue for identifying what the various enemies are. Here's a 1st pass:

Fell

1. Thunderbrute
   
2. Wispwyvern
   
3. Monstrosity
   
4. Sicklescythe

Shroud

1. Swordsman
   
2. Shielded swordsman
   
3. Spearman
   
4. Broadswordsman
   
5. Feathermaceman
   
6. Tower shielded broadswordsman
   
7. Archer
   
8. Wraith
   
9. Crawler (bug)
   
10. Flyer (bug)

Scavenger

1. Gorgon Matron
   
2. Beserker (twin-machete)
   
3. Sicklescythe
   
4. Arrow launcher
   
5. Bomb launcher
   
6. Guard dog

Vukar

1. Brawler
   
2. Shaman
   
3. Swordsman

Fauna

1. Wolf
   
2. Saber cat
   
3. Drake
   
4. Boar
   
5. Hare
   
6. Goat
   
7. Deer
   
8. Road-runner (chicken)

Flora

1. Poison spitter
   
2. Shroud bomber
   
3. Ammonia-shroom

Each carries XP proportional to its level. A level 1 shroud swordsman yields 3 XP. A level 18 yields 33.
