Overview

A Useless Skill is a skill that has little or no appreciable usefulness. While some skills have been useless since their introduction, through publishes or expansions they may be made useful. The reverse may also happen, also known as nerfing.

Past Useless Skills

Arms Lore - As of Publish 44, imparts certain bonus properties to crafted armor and weapons.
Evaluating Intelligence - Originally did not impart the spell bonuses it does today.
Spirit Speak - Previously only allowed a character to understand what another dead player's ghost was saying (instead of 'OooOO oOOooOo ooo'). Practically useless until the introduction of Necromancy.
