Ive been searching and ive found that they may have taken them out a while ago but the button is still there to drop the skill. I want to drop painting to help speed up getting the next star. Will that work or will I just loose a skill for nothing and I should just wait for the next start to passively come?
External link →No, skill refunding doesn't exist since the skill system was reworked. The button you noticed is "Abandon Specialty" which is for use in conjunction with maximum profession limits that were introduced at the same time.
Refunds can only be achieved by usage of admin commands or with for example Nid's PlayerManager mod.
It is nothing personal but you are only partially right. In fact there is an option in server setting to set it on. There are so many setting that I was confused whe I was preparing my server a month ago, or maybe, just maybe, there was some change about which I do not know.
See my explanation here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/382310/discussions/0/4434443557915421326/#c4434443557916271250
Even if you set the XP refund rate to 100%, it's not giving you a star back to take, but just XP towards the next one which is always "pricier" than the one refunded.
