I've noticed that the amount of skill points u get when u solve a case drops quite fast as u advance in skills. Is there a limit after which u won't receive any skillpoints at all no matter what difficulty the case has ? And what is that limit ?

I don't know if there's a limit but I guess it's when you have all of the skills. The number of points that you get does drop a lot though.

What would be useful is a formula for earning skill points.

There is a formula, we just do not know it. I think that is a good thing, part of the intential mystery of the game mechanics.

Just so you have an idea Nobody I still earn a skill point every so often, but I do not keep track of exactly how many AI cases I need to do to earn one.

I do know that there is no upper limit to how many skill points you can have, the limit is in what to spend them on.

I know that in the past when Ben expaned the Sleuth world people had points to spend on the new skills that they had earned previously.

I would like to see a cap put on, loose the excess skill points after the max needed to purchase all skills. Then if new things are added in the future everyone has to earn the skill points to learn that skill and not pay for them out of a huge bank of unused points.

Now I should exit stage right before that angry mob gets here.....

Yes, the number of experience points you need to earn before getting a skill point does keep on increasing, but there doesn't seem to be a limit to getting them. At least I'm still getting skill points although not as often as before. And I think, even though I haven't checked in a while, that I still get 1 skill point for every 50,000 experience points (I actually think this might well be the "final stage" we get to).
However, I never payed attention to how many experience point I had at the time when I got to the point when it started requiering 50,000 exp. points before receiving 1 skill point :)

Thanks guys, I thought that the skill points were awarded per case.
