As of the 26th of September, this skill point is bugged.<math>Insert formula here</math> There is no one to talk to for the skill point.
Per this[edit]
Why have "acquisition" when this is an event? You cannot "acquire" an event. Why have NPC dialogue when it's already on Devotee of Owl, which is where it should be - since it's the NPC speaking, and not stuff said during the event. I don't get why we do this at all - I mean, standard events don't, and from what I've seen, a lot of skill challenge articles have been getting altered from the original form (which is what Magistrella is putting it to). 67.176.148.189 23:06, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
- You're correct, dialogue to trigger an event should be on the NPC's page, not the event's page. —Dr Ishmael

- I'd prefer a "What goes where"-thingy then please. I've looked through various skill challenges before undoing the change and most of the existing ones actually had the dialogue or part of it on the event page. If we want to keep it consistent i see three options a) Make a reference for future edits ; b) remove all the dialogue from the actual event pages now ; or: c) let it go on as it is and reedit arround 300 skill challenges later Magistrella 23:57, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

- And what would you do with the skillevents that are no actual events but yet are using the event template and do not even have NPCs for the dialogue, like all the commune/use item ones? I'd say you check out the Queensdale Skill challenges and the Kessex one for comparison. Check out the Queensdale skill"events", they are using no event formating at all, list the NPCs that start an Event as the actual challenges and they all have a nav on the bottom (the problem with that one is, some skill challenges do not have an "npc" in that way just an item lying arround to start it, like Defeat_the_ancient_oakheart_and_its_sapplings). There are many good ways that skillpoints pages are written atm, but in my opinion the necessity to go to the npc site to get the dialogue you get when doing a challenge is not one of them. Nyways, just my 2 cents, i keep on compiling my recipe lists Magistrella 00:27, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

- Just want to grasp what you want to tell me with that link as english is not my first language i might misunderstand:
- "Just want to bring up something - since we're going to denote by initiator (object/NPC) and not the method (event/item), should we denote the skill challenge events in the Events section of articles - and similarly, NPCs part of said events should, I presume, get such mentioned? If so, we may want to make a {{event skill}} or some such, to use the
icon. Konig/talk 03:17, 10 February 2013 (UTC)" - So going by a denote means that the Object/NPC is listed in the skill challenge lists and the fighting events with those NPCs, which actually are what you do to get certain skills, are just so called "honorable mentions" on the side? Just want to understand that correctly Magistrella 00:42, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

- The NPC/object is what you actually see when wandering around the world. The event may be "what you do to get certain skills" but it's not what's visible.
- "And what would you do with the skillevents that are no actual events but yet are using the event template" We killed them all. If you see any of them still hanging out, slap a delete tag on them. —Dr Ishmael 02:53, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
