I got most of my money through selling esteem and I plan to trans Influence and Dramatics, now I'm asking is that Transing Influence is worth it? Is the Diplomancy helpful to my friends? Transing Dramatics is also worth it or do I just stop till I got up to Vagabond (Which I think might be very helpful with my charity attacks.)

Help? I not the kind who buys credits OOCly so I rely on the market and I don't really want to waste some of my lessons over nothing.

Transing influence is only worth it, IMO, if you are a guardian/wiccan class, for charismatic aura. Getting to Fabled 50% for Praise can be nice if you want to impower guards, but really, Virt 0% is all you need for influence bashing, since charity is the best form of influence bashing.

Nothing past Vagabond is worthwhile in Dramatics. All of the skills past Vagabond are RP skills - they won't help you with gaining gold faster or fighting better or anything.

What about Success? Mind you, I'm not a dramatics specialist.

Storytells are useless, they make denizens HARDER to influence without giving more experience.

The only purpose of Storytells is to irritate other people in a village revolt of a village you aren't trying to win, as far as I can tell.
