Thread: Can't get furthur in skirmish introduction tutorial ''Defending the prancing pony''

Dear people,

I'm a level 29 hunter and I've been trying to complete the skirmish introduction tutorial since I was level 20.
At one point I have to buy the soldier warrior trait, in order to continue the skirmish tutorial, but I can't because I don't have enough marks (need 19).

How do I get more marks so I can finish the introduction skirmish?

The soldier warrior trait is available for 0 marks when you're inside the skirmish tutorial.
Part way through the tutorial the Second Watcher calls out a Trainer and lets you
buy the trait and it costs 0. Not sure how you got out of the tutorial without buying it,
though. Anyway, if it's not marked as complete, just run it again and that should do it.

I can't buy the trait, see for yourself:

Based on the screenshot, you already have Rank 1 as the NPC is trying to sell you Rank 2.

Have you tried just talking to Tom to see if you can slot the Rank 1?

Yes, and then after slotting the trait, summon your soldier with the warrior trait slotted.

Hopefully that will satisfy the quest requirements.

What do you mean with ''slot'' ?

Skirmish soldier traits are handled through basically the same interface as the player character's
virtue/class/race traits (from a Bard). In the Skirmish camp the Captain allows you to change the
Role and Skills of your soldier, but in that tutorial, the other guy that comes out, Tom, is the guy you
need to talk to in order to apply the skirmish traits to your soldier. Generally this costs money
(not marks), but again, I think this will probably cost 0. Give it shot.

Tom right there acts similarly to the bards that you use to slot traits for your character (class traits, virtues, racial traits, etc), except Tom slots traits for your skirmish soldier. Right click on him and see if he opens a window. If so, you should have the Warrior trait over to the right and can drag it over to the left and "slot" it and then accept. At that point, you should be able to advance the quest.

thanks guys, had to do the slot thing
