What are the leveling points!

[tanel]

Please, dear good people around the world of Drakensang,
could you tell me, what are the LEVELING POINTS? I want to learn the "Marksman" skill, which requires 300 leveling points. But how they can be earned and where I can see, how many do I have. I have now 1802 ADVENTURE points and 771 EXPERIENCE points, but what are the LEVELING points and how one can earn them?
I would be VERY, VERY thankful for help.
Greetings,
Tanel

Thank you, NavFamG,
for the answer. But please, tell me, what are the LEVELING points and how one can get them? I want to buy the "Marksman" skill for my amazon, but this requires 300 leveling points and therefore the requirements are not met. And I have no idea, what these leveling points are. And how can I see, how much leveling points do I have?
Please, help.
Thank you in advance,
Tanel

OK, My game shows:
- Adventure Points - this is the overall experience you've gotten in game and directly relates to the level of your character. These points will never go down.

- Leveling Points (not sure why your's says Experience unless you're playing in a different language? but they're the same) These are the points you spend on learning new skills and increasing those skills and abilities.

You earn both via killing things (you're combat log will show the points earned) and completing quests (the points go to both).

Thank you again, but why I can not buy the skill "marxman" for my amazon then? It requires 300 leveling/experience points, she has 771 experience points and 1802 adventure points. I play the game in english.

Dear NavFamG,
when I open the character sheet of my amazon, then I see in the upper let corner the following text:

Rhulana
Amazon
Amazon
Middenrelamian
Adventure points 1934
Experience points 903
Level 4

That is, not LEVELING points, but EXPERIENCE points. But when I open the fourth page of her character sheet, the "special abilities", and then make a right mouse click on the "Marxman" skill, then it requires 300 LEVELING points.

With all possible best wishes

I had been looking at the 2nd Drakensang game; River of Time as I have it on steam (easier to get to) and they use the term Leveling points.

Drakensang I have on disk but I went and loaded it up since you had a specific question. I see where you got the experience points from and yes it's confusing which is why I guess they swapped out the word for leveling in the 2nd game. So Experience points = Leveling points.

For the MARKSMAN skill: Are you trying to learn it from the character sheet? If so that's not how the game works. You need to find an archer trainer (I don't think the standard fighter trainers have that one) and learn it from him.

For learning new skills you have to have any of the pre skills done first; in this case to get Marksman you have to have Aimed shot (which she comes with), Armor II, you have to have learned Armor I etc.....

[NavFamG]

Just as a note on earning Experience / Leveling points. You'll get those a lot slower than in other games (I've never seen it listed but I'm guessing only about 50% of the points earned from killing stuff / completing quests goes to it.

This very much is a character management game. You'll never get enough points for everything you want, which is why you need to split skills up among party members, pick 1 to dump healing on, 1 for traps etc....

Don't try to make any 1 character into a jack of all trades as you won't have enough points.

Hi again and again!
And thank you a lot for these good advises. But the case was just so, that I went to the archery trainer and asked him to teach the "marxmanship" to my amazon. And she also has the "aimed shot" skill already. But when the archery trainer shows me the skill "marxmanship", I can not chose this for my dear huntress, because probably some requirements are not met. But I can not understand, which requirements. Because she has already more than 900 leveling/experience points.

For learning marksman you need to already have learned Aimed Shot and your basis Ranged Combat value has to be at least 8. The basis stats you can see in your character sheet where the melee and ranged combat skills are on the right side where it says "Ranged".

Hello, Oneeyed!
Thank you for the information. The ranged combat value of my dear amazon is only 7, that is, this is the reason why she can not learn the marksmanship. And I found the way to increase the value of the ranged combat.
Thank you again and may the God bless you. May you live two times longer than Methusael and have three times more children than Abraham!
