How skill points work for the Gladiator
CalculatedBudget and prices from the client's Exp and skill acquire tables.
Skill points start at level 4 and add up to 203 by level 45. Stigma points start at level 23 and reach 29 by level 45. Both are running totals: the table below shows what a Gladiator has at each milestone.
Level 1 of every active skill and passive comes free when it unlocks (the client lists no cost for it). Each higher level costs skill points (Lv. 2–4: 1, Lv. 5–7: 2, and Lv. 8–10: 4), so one skill to Lv. 10 costs 21 points and all 22 skills cost 462. With 203 points at level 45 you can fully train about 9 of them, which is the core choice of a Gladiator build.
The client prices skill levels only up to Lv. 10; the skills go to Lv. 40. Daevanion skill nodes add up to +4 per skill, and the planner's bonus field covers levels from other sources. Specialization slots open at skill levels 8, 12, and 20: 1 at Lv. 10, 2 with the full Daevanion bonus.
Stigma skills cost stigma points from level 1 (Lv. 1–5: 1, Lv. 6–10: 2, Lv. 11–15: 4, and Lv. 16–20: 8). One stigma to Lv. 20 costs 75. The 29 stigma points at level 45 train all 4 slotted stigmas to Lv. 6, or a single one to Lv. 13.
| Level | Skill points | Stigma points | Stigma slots | Skills unlocked |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 6 / 22 |
| 10 | 16 | 0 | 0 | 12 / 22 |
| 20 | 61 | 0 | 0 | 19 / 22 |
| 22 | 71 | 0 | 1 | 20 / 22 |

| 40 | 171 | 19 | 4 | 22 / 22 |
| 45 | 203 | 29 | 4 | 22 / 22 |
Point totals are the client's Exp table values at each level; skills unlocked count each skill's first required character level.

Data read from the AION 2 global client (build 0.0.4387.0). How we read the game files
A Gladiator in AION 2 gets 203 skill points and 29 stigma points by level 45. Active skills and passives train to Lv. 10 with points (21 each, 462 for all 22), so a build fully trains about 9 of them. 13 stigma skills compete for 4 slots opening at levels 22, 27, 32, and 37, and Daevanion boards add up to +4 levels to 22 skills. The planner checks every choice against these numbers and saves the build in a shareable link.

How do Gladiator skill specializations work?
Each active skill has 5 specializations that unlock at skill levels 8, 12, and 16. A skill holds as many as it has open slots, and slots open at skill levels 8, 12, and 20, so a skill at Lv. 10 holds 1 and one with the full +4 Daevanion bonus holds 2. Stigma specializations switch on by themselves at skill levels 5, 10, 15, and 20.
What is the max skill level for a Gladiator?
Active skills and passives go to Lv. 40, but skill points only buy up to Lv. 10; the levels above come from bonuses such as Daevanion skill nodes (+4 per skill). Stigma skills train to Lv. 20 with stigma points and go to Lv. 25.
