Tips
The number of Skill Points you will earn at each Level is important and the difference between IN 9 and IN 10 is 46, which might considerably affect a Character's final outcome. So it might be vital for a Crafting Character to have 10 Intelligence, for example, to be able to have all the skills up as fast as possible.
However, there is no level cap, so some players choose low IN and just level up more.
If you are a veteran FOnline player, you likely plan your Character builds in advance, so you know exactly how much IN is needed by a target level, and thus optimize build. All players are encouraged to do this. (Find a character planner tool on the forum.)
Serious PvP players tend to use low Intelligence (2, 3 or even 1), sacrificing the high amount of Skill Points gained per level so they may instead invest the SPECIAL points into Endurance, Agility, Luck, or Perception. It is suggested not to leave Intelligence at 1 unless you're experienced with Character builds, as it may be difficult, if not impossible, to meet the skill requirements for the perks you want.
