How many ability points you can get as possible ?

[Hyperion]

I mean. I just hit the level 50 and want to know. Can you get every ability and maxed out that 0/20
masteries?

Is there a limit in the points ?

[Tiudyr645🧉]

There used to be a limit but that seems to have changed after they introduced lvl 99 and mastery levels, so you can keep lvling up and getting as much ability points as you want endlessly.

A hard limit? No, even when you hit level 99 you can continue to gain points; every time you get the equivalent XP for a new level, you gain a point. But even a total completionist run will not get you anywhere even close to all mastery points, so the amount of XP grinding to unlock absolutely everything would be completely ridiculous.

I ended the game + all DLCs and total completionist run with 165 total points (level 89, so a level 99 will have 175 points between leveling and acquiring more points from locations). It would take for 112 for all skills + 1,640 for all masteries = 1,752 points to max out everything. That would mean grinding 1,577 "levels" after capping at 99. You can definitely get all skills you enjoy plus a lot of mastery skills that suit your playstyle,but all? No.

You can certainly experiment and find a playstyle you like - respeccing is very easy, so you're not locked in to choices you later regret.

That 175 is counting all the steles / marble maidens / isu data caches / etc. that give skill points.

There's 77 skill points per playthrough that you can get that aren't tied to level progression. Still would take you absolute ages to reach 1,752 points.

Unlimited... You can hit Level 99 again and again, indefinitely. IF that is what you want to do and IF you have the time and patience.

Wow guys. That is nearly impossible without any glitch or something like that. I think I should stick to the one build and give up on trying to be a demigod.

Thanks for the answers.

The limit is unreachable, I hope you have fun maxing out your build!

Hey there, this is an older topic, I know, but it's worth noting that NG+ offers a better (or at least much more fun and interesting) alternative for gaining ability points beyond the 175 you can get squeeze out of a thorough first playthrough. Pure XP grinding -- especially after level 99 -- can become mind-numbingly dull really fast.

For details, I recommend this youtube video (not mine, but I think it's a great explanation of the whole subject): https://youtu.be/O-7-GmpevvA

After reaching Lv60, I just used Cheat Engine or Trainer for EXP multiplier.
You can endlessly repeat NG+ for grinding ability points but personally I prefer getting ability points by clearing Points of Interest(“?” marks) or quests.

I would only recommend using an XP multiplier after reaching lvl 99.

That's because if you level up "too fast" you may never unlock some of the cosmetic variations for gear in the transmog menu (the different colors for the non-legendary armors and weapons).
I say this, because I've seen a lot of people that used an XP multiplier early in their playthroughs and later noticed that they never unlocked some of the transmog variations; and as far as I know there isn't any method to unlock these variations with any trainer/cheat table.

I didn’t know the issue but I didn’t drastically increase XP multiplier until Lv99 because I didn't want to be OP but just to balance XP rate.
So It doesn’t seem I had the issue.
After Lv99, I significantly increased the multiplier, though.

I guesstimate it takes a 20,000 hours to get all mastery levels.
