Development Points
Development points, DP, are rewards for leveling and certain quests. As you advance your character's level you will be rewarded with two (2), development points. These points can then be used to customize, or develop your character in different ways.
Skill Advancement and Acquisition:
For whatever reason you chose your class, chances are there is something about it you would like to change. If you are one of those people who require more customization in your character, development points allow you the freedom to customize your character as you see fit. Firstly, you will need to find a skill trainer in your home town. Ask them to teach, and they will respond with a list of skills they can teach you at normal prices listed in <listskills>. If the skill you want to learn is not on the trainers list, you will be charged the Primary Cost for advancement, so 3x the normal rate. Often times there are other trainers in the town who will teach you the skill you want for the normal price, but some skills, such as magical skills (faith, conjuring, enchantment, etc) and the 'special' combat skills (accuracy, dodge, armour skills) will not be taught at all. If you have one of these specialty skills in your skill list, however, you can advance it to the next tier in your skills at the Primary Cost amount.
Stat customization:
At certain places in the game, there are stat trainers. These specialty trainers will increase stats and stat tiers with the required DP and monetary amount. This is typically reserved for advanced players who have reached a certain level of knowledge throughout their play time and have the ability to find the said trainers.
Language Learning:
It is also possible to use development points for the acquisition of languages. If you choose to use this option you should seek out a Sage, or language teacher and <ask 'sage' to teach advanced 'language'> where sage and language would be replaced with the teachers name and the language you wish to learn. This method uses one development point and is the equivalent of four (4) normal training sessions with that teacher.
