How frequently can you remap your attributes

Now I know that technically you can remap your attributes once per year. However, like everything in Eve, the devil is in the detail.

Does the remap become available one year following the last remap, or upon the character's "birthday", for example?

Lets use an example, for ease of answering. Say I have a character born this July just past. I'm given my two initial remaps, as a new character. I use one of them immediately, (to skew the character into intelligence and memory, go to town on those learning skills). I plan to use the second remap some six months later, in the new year, to either balance the character back out, or to lean into perception and willpower, and make up the space ship command training I've been neglecting.

July 2010 - Character born

July 2010 - Remap 1 used.

January 2011 - Remap 2 used.

Remap 3 becomes available -

  • would this be in July 2011, the character's 2nd year? (In which case six months dedicated to combat training, from Remap 2, would be reasonable, 'balancing' out the attributes more in July at the 3rd remap)

  • or would in be in January 2012, one year on from the last remap? (In which case remap 2 would be better used to 'rebalance' the character, unless I'm willing to focus on perception and willpower skills for a full year)

I'm pretty sure it's 12 months since your last re-map. If you use your final free remap in Jan 2011 then your next remap would be available in Jan 2012. The "restriction" doesnt come into play until you use both your free ones up - as I understand it anyway.

Yes, it’s correct. Just remapped last week, and it shows the next remap available in 12 months.

Ah, well spotted guys – must have been having a dopey moment. Looks like its decision time for me then. Geeky brainiac for twelve months or a mindless shredder of hulls….hmmmm?

I think it may be exactly 365 days, so that should mean that each leap year will move it 1 day earlier.

I.E. if you remap on Jan 31, 2012, the next remap will be on Jan 30, 2013. I am 99% on this….

Currently, you have two remaps available, if you create a character. After the second remap, you'll have to wait 1 Year to do a remap again.

There's currently a new feature on the test server Singularity, where you can pay an "out-of-bound"-remap with a PLEX.

Its certainly an interesting idea, but I’m still uncertain whether I’d like to see it rolled out on Tranquility. Bit too much of a gift to those with plenty of ISKies / RL cash to burn.

Training the adv learning skills to V is a complete waste; it will take far too long training other skills to recoup the time investment before seeing any overall gain in time. Somewhere around a couple of years before that time investment starts to pay off.

The idea that players will be able to remap all sp is horeshit, and nothing but a stupid rumour started by Eve's emo's after the news we would have neural remaps for plex. CCP have always had the ability to give additional SP and redistribute trained sp, as they often do on sisi if the situation merits it, or it aids testing a particular system.

aparently soon you will be able to remap with a plex. so 15 US$ for a instant change?

That’s an interesting idea, for sure. Unfortunately, I fear that would take the entire dynamic out of the remapping restriction. After all, there are plenty of folk happy to run half a dozen alts, each on seperate accounts. Give them the chance to pay fifteen US to rejig their character as they need, it may go a bit barmy – a universe full of ‘super’ pilots with cash to burn.

Still I think I read something similar… Also I wonder about the “spend 100 000 skillpoints” thing that CCP handed out when the game crashed badly during tyranis release… what’s the plan for this feature in the future ?

Harlock> My guess is that they will be getting rid of the learning skills and giving us back the points to allocate as we wish.

I certainly hope – just spent weeks training up to advanced learning skills V on a couple of attributes for this character!

+1 vote on this answer. It is correct and an nice addition to the other answers as well. Some might say that this feature is mere speculation, but you can currently test it on the singularity cluster.
