Reallocate Skill Points

Share:

UPDATE: You can reallocate skill points once every 4 hours instead of once per day. This is due to an update by Zynga.

If you go to the Marketplace, you will find a new option in the Stats Tab. We can now use Reward Points to reallocate Skill Points. You can buy a 10 or 50 Skill Point package for 10 or 50 Reward Points.

In the example below, I'm using the 10 Reward Point option. Here are my stats before beginning the process. I decided to swap Health Points for Stamina Points.

Click on the "Purchase for 10 Reward Points" button from the screen above then click on which statistic you want to remove Skill Points from. Make sure you click on the "10 for 10 skill" button and not the "Go to Profile" button. It's also important to make sure you click on the stat that you want to take Points away from and not the one you want to add to.

After (not before) you see your points were successfully allocated, click on "Go to Profile".

Now you will see your 10 Skill Points ready to be placed where ever you want them. I put mine in Stamina.

One may ask why anybody would spend Reward Points to allocated them when you could just buy them outright and have even more. The answer is simple. We get too many Health Points in the game and you probably have excess that you don't need. If you do then this reallocating is a better deal. In the example above, I spent 10 Reward Points to get 10 Skill Points added to my Stamina. That's 1 Reward Point per Stamina Point. If I bought a crafting timer speed up to get 6 Stamina Points, I would spend 12 Reward Points. That 2 Reward Points per 1 Stamina Point.

I could buy 4 Skill Points for 14 Rewards Points and that's an even worse deal. I would spend 3.5 Reward Points per Stamina Point doing it this way.

If you look very closely at the fine print in the success image shown above, there are caps to how low you can make one of your stats. You can't reduce a stat below it's starting value. The lower limits are Energy 30, Stamina 3, Health 100, Attack 15 and Defense 15. It also says you can only reallocate one stat per day.

They must mean one 10 RP and one 50 RP reallocation a day because I was able to take from my Heath and add to my Stamina both times.

We can only use the 10 Reward Point and the 50 Reward Point option once a day. So we reallocate 60 Skill Points once a day. If you have extra health that you don't want, there isn't a better deal than this. It says "Limited time only!" and there is no word on how long this option will be around. Zynga limited time could mean anything.
