Let me clear up the grimoire=dead ghosts claim. Ghost account for about 5 grimoire each. Some Ghosts count for 10 or 15 though. There are 77 dead ghosts. 77x5=385. Let's just round that up to approximately 550. Fair enough? Only 550 score out of a possible 3620 (xb) or 3665 (ps) can be given to you by finding dead ghosts. While that is a substantial gain, it is not the key factor for a high grimoire. You say Grimoire doesn't show skill? Let me brake it down. Where did the other 3,000 points come from? It shows you have played a variety of PvE and PvP content, and that you have done them [u]multiple[/u] times. It shows commitment to the game. Whether that is a good or bad thing is up for debate. Now, grimoire means, for the most part, [u]experience[/u]. You do not need a high grimoire score to be good. You can have a natural talent at the game. But: talent+experience=skill When talent is refined with experience, that makes a player skilled. [i][b]Being able to analyze the situation and go where you are needed without anyone having to tell you to. [/b][/i] That is why grimoire, to me, means skill. [b]Usually[/b] anyway. I will play with anyone, it doesn't matter to me. But, I will prefer people who have a higher score. I feel I can trust them to know what is going on.
