So I've been trying this build myself and uh... One question really: How do you get your buffs to "500" if you only have a level 5 focus? I'm currently at level 25 with some crappy gear and stuff, but I have like 20 memorized runes of my buffs, yet they're all level 8.2 or some nonesense because I've got this huge penalty on combat skills. Should I be investing then in my focus and say maybe go a little less gungho on my bargaining for instance or some other skill?

Can you explain that a little more? I figured the limit was just on how many points you were able to use to modify your combat arts, not a limit on the amount of combat arts you can learn? Is there a max somewhere I'm not seeing? Also, what happens when I read an art 2x? 3x? So confused.

Okay so I'm new to the game and I searched the forums and read the manual but I can't really find the answer to my question. I accidentally read a combat art that I didn't want and I was wondering if I should start over? I'm only level 7 and I hate not doing things correctly so I figured I might as well start over. BUT if it's okay to have all the combat arts as long as I don't try to master them, then I wont worry about it. Can someone fill me in? I'd hate to get big and realize I messed up at level 7. Thanks.
