Hello!
So when it comes to the trade skills (art crafting, herbalism, carpentry, et. cetera), they are hard-set into your character from what I know.
However, while we have options to completely relevel our character classes, we don't have any option to completely re-do our trade skills. I can see the value in this, as we wouldn't want anyone to abuse the system by simply "-retrade"'ing into whatever they need at any given moment.

However, when doing one's trade skills, they may find they've put too many points in one trade, not enough in another, or perhaps dumped ALL their points into one trade and have a hindsight desire to take a secondary, or simply have found that the trade skill they first picked and thought they would enjoy, is not as fun as they hoped, and therefore they simply don't use it at all since there's no way to change it. Of course there's the option to -remake to retake Trade Skills, but that is an extremely steep price of losing all your levels, all your items/shop/quarter, and anything sentimental you've invested time or gold into, just to be able to fix a mistake or make the Trade system more enjoyable.

So my suggestion would be this; offer a one-time only option to redo one's Trade Skills. Only one time, per character, I think would give the option for someone to feel out if they liked a certain trade, or wanted to distribute their points more effectively. Ideally, this would be done using a '-' command as putting more strain on DMs to do such in game would be stressful or time consuming for the team.

Thanks for consideration in advance!

This... really should go into the suggestion box.

But the short of my opinion is yes, I actually agree. I think there may even be something like this in the works at some point. I think it's a good idea, so long as it's limited (once only, a few times only, whatever)

In the mean time Dms can reset some crafting points if required.

What a time to realize I posted this in the wrong spot.

I'll repost in the appropriate forum, my apologies! If you'd like to delete this, please do so!

Idea:
Require the Player Character to go touch the Styx, thus forgetting their memories, resulting in a Trade Skill reset and reduced experience and/or levels as a trade-off.

And so, it begins a new era of Dis/River of Styx tourism RP

Please make a toll bridge so my character can own it and charge people each time they come to drink from the Styx. He would be a millionaire within a week!

A single character...
...standing all on their own...
...between every other PC on Arelith...
...and the single most conveniently placed runic shrine on all four servers...
...good luck!

Oh, baby! Bring on the NG+!

Would be pretty nifty if players did get an extra 5 to 10 bonus skillpoints if they did that, but in-exchange of being reset to level 2.
