Came back from a few years break a few months ago...

Just noticed that I have 384,844 of unallocated skill points.

Any suggestions on where to put them?

Where would YOU put them if YOU had them???

I'd save them until I had a reason to use them.

I hold onto mine until I need them.

So many times I've been about to set off and do something and I've needed some obscure skill trained up a level or two to fit a random module.

That's nearly impossible to tell if we don't know which skills you allready have trained, isn't it? ;)

Generally, i would suggest you to put them into "something fun" Blink

Finish training your learning skills.

Great choice!

Personally, back when I had them, I saved them up to jump to
lvl1 or lvl2 skills which allowed me to do things right on the spot.

It only costs around thousand SP for most skills to jump to lvl1.

You have to be around when something really bad happens to the server and it goes down for days.

CCP used to give them out all the time for unexpected server malfunctions, but eventually people started posting on the forums every time any little delay happened (seriously saw someone post that downtime was a minute longer so they needed free SP) so CCP throttled back and pretty much stopped giving them out.

Entitlement ruined it.

Learning skills are the ones that were removed, and reimbursed with unallocated skillpoints. P

That's 6-10 days worth depending on your attributes and implants.

Do you have any core skills (mechanics, hull upgrades, navigation, etc) that you haven't got to 5 yet?

Do you have a particular ship you want to fly, or fly better than you currently do?

Are your defensive or offensive skills lacking?

Ask yourself what you need to improve, and then go spend those points. However, if you're planning on selling your character in the future, keep them because they increase your character's worth.

They also gave out a free day once, and people kept asking for a free day, so ccp never did it again lol

Given that there are some major changes to industry coming in the Summer Expansion (see the Dev Blogs), I would keep them for now & re-think where you may want them given the new changes when they are implemented. However, I'm not sure if you are an industry-oriented character, of course.

Slightly off topic, but my primary alt has approximately 1 million unallocated skill points. If I were to ever sell that character, how much more valuable do those points make him?

One way to look at it would be to ask how much is a character worth in general? If you trained a character to sell from scratch you might think - it costs me 1 plex per month to train this character and a month is roughly 1.8m - 2.0m SP, so on that reckoning it's about 350mill at current plex prices. However, I'd think it's probably worth a bit more as the potential buyer has the flexibility to drop that 1m SP into skill instantly.

You can never go wrong putting them skillpoints towards Catalyst skills...





Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

This. They don't expire, so save them until you get something you need to go up in fast. It's nice once you get a new skill you have waited for a while to get then instantly be able to go level III or IV.
