Languages

Every race has its own unique language, including many of the NPC races.  If you are born into a certain race, you will be able to speak its language fluently.  In addition, everyone can speak common.  You can learn other languages by exposure to them or through using training points (not recommended as the points are really more useful elsewhere).  The easiest way to learn a language is to ask a friend who speaks that language to program a random sentence into a hot key and spam it to you over and over while you are grouped.  You will quickly build up proficiency in the language that way.  You will not see the change in your skill until you zone.  You can only teach a language up to one point above the proficiency with which you speak it yourself.  Knowledge of the various languages really has only a limited impact on the game.  If you are a caster and wish to do research, you need to know certain languages to make out the research tomes and learn the formulae.  Also, occasional scrolls and books crop up that are written in different languages.  These can be fun for role playing aspects and to learn more about the history of Norrath.

Several additional notes and suggestions have been sent in:

- If you ignore the spammer, you will not have to worry about filling up your screen with spam, but will still learn the lesson.  Just bonk the person on the head when you think you are done.
- The maximum language skill level is 100.
- You do not need to invest a skill point to start to learn a language.
- Additional languages start to become available to you at your guild trainer as you move up in levels.
