Retraining your hero, at what cost?

Working on a system to allow retraining for the player heroes in my ORPG.

Now the issue is I want to set a cost. What should it cost the player?

A quest item.
A certain amount of exp, maybe even a level or two.
A large amount of gold.
A chunk of another very special resource that will be hard to get.

I could make a quest for it, but if they player managed to gimp their char really badly, then that wont work well (God only knows how they would gimp their char, but I am sure someone will pull it off).

I could charge Exp, such as a whole level or two to be able to respec your abilities. But this may be a turn off for level 50 players.

Gold has been done... nothing special with that. But its reliable.

The special resource is what I am considering. It will be hard to obtain, but not brutally difficult like the quest should be.


Tell me what you think... please. And thanks for your time.

make it a lvl 5 ability choice or something.

at lvl 5 you could become "master of your own destiny" and it would be an ability that used up like all your mana, but it allowed you to repick all your skills (except your repick ability)

Hmm

id say a quest, an off beat side quest maybe...

example:

unit enters town give abiltiy or (types message containsing blah balh blah) move unit to a sectioned off aprt of map and have them run a trial, go threw dungeon & kill boss, or W/E and if u beat it you get to retrain, and if not, your sent back to town

i tihnk it'd be a sweet spin off then ''tome of retraining''

a random drop perhaps?
personally i don't like or use tome of retraining...simply don't need it. and if the people that play your game would use their head they wouldn't need it either.

maybe put it at a region
lets say a Monk's Temple

The person has to journey farfarfarfarfar X99999999 away to reach this area
when he reaches this place then he can reset all his abilities
but to get here maybe put sumthin like monsters, puzzles and maybe n item quest

    Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Plus - I have a pretty bad ass recipe collection now! That section of the site is 10 thousand times better than it was before
  • The Helper The Helper:
    We now have a web designer at my job. A legit talented professional! I am going to get him to redesign the site theme. It is time.

    I got one more day of community service and then I'm free from this nonsense! I polished a cop car today for a funeral or something I guess
  • Varine Varine:
    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences
