How do I gain ADR skills?

[Evil Lyn]

I can't select them when levelling, and the wiki just says I need the "Global Class" or something.

Do i need a point in each other skill or something?

You simply just click on the respective symbol of the ADR class you want to get.

Drive > get XP > level up > spend your Skill Point in ADR > repeat ; )

The difference between ADR and all other skill lines is that with ADR you can select any of the six categories available, for other skills they go in order from Lv.1 to Lv.6 (Max).

So you can get ADR1 or ADR2 or ADR3 or ADR4 or ADR6 or ADR8, while for (example) Long Distance you get Lv.1 > Lv.2 > Lv.3 > Lv.4 > Lv.5 > Lv.Max in this order.

ADR give XP bonus only, EcoDriving reduce your consumption (unless Realistic Fuel Consumption is turned on), other skills will give both XP and Reward bonuses (XP is unique, Reward bonus increases with levels). Depending on the job, more than one bonus can stack with others. Anyway drive carefully and everything will go smooth : )

Yeah was trying to figure out how to spend the point itself, but wolfgang hopefully explained it. I was clicking everywhere when i was trying and gave up, chucking it into HV instead. Also picked up that eco is a pretty unpopular skill so we are gonna wait till everyting else is maxed out before putting points into that.

Hopefully when I get to it ADR will be as easy to skill up as everyone else has said! Cheers

The more you level up and the longer will take to gain the next level (and the next Skill Point), but it won't take much to get up to Lv.36 (all unlocked). Practice with parking as are more XP for you ^^/

My bestie is already way better at than than me xD She can park a trailer basically anywhere.

I just go for the 15xp option cause I have small brain and Im not practicing xD

Actually you can reasonably argue that parking is a fairly bad way of acquiring XP because of the real world time it takes in relation to the amount you earn. If you can handle the 90 XP slots in a couple of minutes then that works out as a good rate, but you earn roughly 17 XP per real world minute tanking down the motorway at 87kph (before factoring in any bonuses) so it is worth taking that into consideration before deciding whether to try for the parking bonus for XP reasons.

@Pitts - fair point, that 90 XP parking is not always available either.

kaki_gamet has pointed out to me that I made an error in my calculations (switching between miles and kilometres, because being an English person of a certain age I was brought up with Imperial measures not metric and sadly still cannot think in metric) and that actually XP per minute from driving outside of cities is even better than I suggested, with 87KPH working out at 27.5 XP per minute and even a totally law abiding 80KPH coming out at over 25 XP per minute.
