I have been trying to save up for Advanced Hair Analysis. The "skill help" shows me that skill has a base price of 9 and regular Hair Analysis is 8. I have 11 to spend.

When I go to buy skills, I have the opportunity to purchase regular Hair Analysis for 6 skill points which suggests to me I get a 2 point credit. If I were to follow that logic, I would expect to pay 7 for the Advanced version. But it's not even offered to me at the 11 point level. Why would it cost me more than 2 extra points for Advanced Hair Analysis and so much less for the other?

TIA

Hair Analysis is a pre-requisite for getting Adv. Hair Analysis and the fact that you haven't bought Hair Analysis might be the reason the Advanced skill hasn't shown up

It would definitely be the reason. Trying to buy an advanced or intermediate skill before the beginning one would be similar to walking into a college and telling them you want to take Algebra 3 before you've even taken Basic Math. *grin* You have to work your way up.

Good Luck and Happy Sleuthing! :)
