Like many Mabinogians, new and old, some have issues or difficulty 'stickin to their guns'.
Many of these situations are skill builds, character builds, or goals pertaining to their characters/Fantasy life.
It's a good idea to get comfortable with the game. But it isn't a good idea to throw away your AP to try out a new skill you'll get bored with after a few days of messing around with it.
AP is generally a scarce thing for many casual/not so serious players. This is normal.
Keep in mind what you want to be capable of in this game, or what kind of gameplay style you'll be in.
Many powerful/useful skills take a CRAP-ton of AP, time and money to rank/raise or train.
In example, skills like Advanced magics, Ice spear/Thunder/Fireball;
These Skills Eat AP...
To use these skills efficiently and properly, it is a good idea to Max them out at the appropriate time in your Characters life. (Bear in mind, the Combat power that will be added when ranking these)
To use myself as an example, since I'm an archer, naturally I would rank range skills to 1 to be a proficient archer. When I had rank 5 Arrow Revolver, I was getting a little bored of range, so I decided to start working on Thunder.
BAD IDEA
My dex wasn't all that great and I kinda left archery, which was my main genre of fighting, blowing in the wind.
I got thunder to rank 6, which takes of a nice amount of AP on it's own. I noticed that I had stunted my characters combat ability, so... Instead of just training and getting the AP to finish AR, I bought skill reset capsules, (Thank you nexon for listening to my Forum post about this on the Nexon Forums) and deranked Thunder to A, and finished AR to 1.
I cannot tell you how much of a good idea this was, I was able to put holes my in enemies insanely fast. But it dented my CP up to 1200... That's fine with me, though.
Now that I am comfortable with all my skills, I want to beef my Character up with some sweet Advanced magic, Fireball/Ice spear are staying at rank 9 for a while, but thunder is going straight to rank 1 no matter what.
I am both excited and impatient to rank Thunder to 1, I have to keep telling myself not to use the AP I have on other stuff I want to work on.
=Sorry for the bit of a rant but I thought it'd give some insight on why this is important to players=
Take a look at your character, figure out what you want... and work to get there without stopping.
All the while keep in mind what you're getting yourself into.
Mabinogi is a Game that is designed to be time consuming.
This game will eventually play itself out once you max your characters skills/stats.
Which, I'm assuming would be around total level 4000.
I hope this "guide" helps you, or anyone with their Mabi-life.
