Can a zombie purchas a life skills? If so, will the xp price be the same?

No, AFAIK, cross-species purchases aren't allowed. This explains why zombies become human in order to get body building.

When a zombie is revived with a syringe, do they loose all xp?

No, they keep their XP. If a human dies, he also keeps his XP. The only time when you lose XP is when you get headshotted as a zombie --Daranz 05:38, 10 Sep 2005 (BST)

Neo Kojiro: As of Sept 29, 2005 there are now 14 zombie skills. Thus, purchasing all the abilities as a zombie will cost 1400xp. - Grissh

Idea: Add date of addition into Urban dead to skills

So, I was thinking that it would be an interesting idea to add the date that a skill was added to each skill. I think it would be useful, and not too hard considering that we have a news page at http://www.urbandead.com/news.html. If I get no replies I'll probably try to add it some time, but any help or advice would be useful. So, why do it? Well, I think it would be interesting is basically why. --Jerden 19:48, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Re: Completing the Skill Tree

We must remember to show our work:

• 5 Civilian skills (Shopping, Bargain Hunting, Body Building, Tagging, Construction)
• 9 Military skills (Basic Firearms Training, Pistol Training, Advanced Pistol Training, Shotgun Training, Advanced Shotgun Training, Hand To Hand Combat, Knife Combat, Axe Proficiency, Free Running)
• 6 Science skills (NecroTech Employment, Lab Experience, NecroNet Access, First Aid, Surgery, Diagnosis)
• 1 Zombie Hunter skill (Headshot)
  • 21 Total Survivor skills

• Civilian - Cop, Firefighter, Consumer - starts with 1 skill, worth 100 XP.
  • (21 - 1) * 100 = 2000 XP
• Military - Medic - starts with 1 skill, worth 150 XP.
  • (5) * 100 + (9) * 75 + (6 - 1) * 150 + (1) * 100 = 2025 XP
• Military - Private, Scout - starts with 1 skill, worth 75 XP.
  • (5) * 100 + (9 - 1) * 75 + (6) * 150 + (1) * 100 = 2100 XP
• Scientist - Lab Assistant, Doctor - starts with 1 skill, worth 75 XP.
  • (5) * 100 + (9) * 150 + (6 - 1) * 75 + (1) * 100 = 2325 XP

Sorry buddy, you seem to have missed out Radio Operation.

This brings Civilian skills up to 6 leading to:

• Civilian - Cop, Firefighter, Consumer - starts with 1 skill, worth 100 XP.
  • (22 - 1) * 100 = 2100 XP
• Military - Medic - starts with 1 skill, worth 150 XP.
  • (6) * 100 + (9) * 75 + (6 - 1) * 150 + (1) * 100 = 2125 XP
• Military - Private, Scout - starts with 1 skill, worth 75 XP.
  • (6) * 100 + (9 - 1) * 75 + (6) * 150 + (1) * 100 = 2200 XP
• Scientist - Lab Assistant, Doctor - starts with 1 skill, worth 75 XP.
  • (6) * 100 + (9) * 150 + (6 - 1) * 75 + (1) * 100 = 2425 XP
• Zombie - Corpse - starts with 1 skill, worth 100 XP.
  • (20 - 1) * 100 = 1900 XP

question

i have a question. can humans use zombie skills like vigour mortis?

No. --Swmono ^{talk - W! - P! - SGP} 01:14, 27 June 2006 (BST)

When a zombie becomes human, does it lose the skills they got when they were a zombie? For example, if I were a zombie with lurching gait and became human, then went back to being a zombie, would lurcing gait still be there or would I have to earn it again?

No. All skills are retained, regardless of dying. If you bought lurching gait and were revivified, then when you died again, you would still have that skill.

More skills

I think this game needs more skills. Terrans 07:47, 27 August 2006 (BST)

Sure, why not. --Brizth ^{M T} 08:41, 27 August 2006 (BST)

Suggestion: What if there was a thief skill? This would allow you to have a chance (like 5%) to take a random item from someone. Of course the victim would be alerted of the thief(s)...Could also be possibly that the person must be wounded.

Cross Death Boundary Skills

I think that there should be an article on the Survivor skills (and, heck, items) that are useful to Zombies, and the Zombie skills that are useful to Survivors. This should go into detail, saying what, if any, effect a skill or item has to the opposite life state. I would be prepared to make this, but I don't know the details of what affects things, and also what to call it. Any ideas?

Please see Wiki Questions#Transferably Usable Skills for more information or if you would like to help. Thanks --xensyria^T 13:03, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Hidden Skill?

According to the stats page, there are just 19 players who are level 43, so must have 43 skills. There are only 42 skills listed on this page, and my two max-levelled alts can't purchase any more using the conventional method. Anyone know anything about this? --Monsieur 12:37, 21 July 2007 (BST)

I noticed this too. I assume that kevan is trying out a new skill but I don't really know, does anyone have any information about this? grassman

Actually, it's related to the way the system figures out the levels. It sets the number of flags based on the Level (eg. 1 = 1), but it adds an additional one if the player is infected or dead/revifying (not sure about that one, it's one of the two...). So therefore a player who's level 42 could show up on the stats page as 44, if both the revive/infection flags had been activated (they're infected and revifying).

Skills and their letters

Shouldn't we update the lists of skills and their assigned letters to accommodate Scout Safehouse and Bellow? I'm pretty sure that both Scout Safehouse and Bellow have been assigned a letter... --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 19:55, 12 October 2010 (BST)

They sure have. Do you know what they are? I think that was the holdup. —Aichon— 20:32, 12 October 2010 (BST)

I don't. I forgot to check when I bought them...Although I believe my main is the only one without the two skills. I'll see if I could get the skills, but it might take some time. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 20:38, 12 October 2010 (BST)

I'll see what my army of alts can muster. 20:50, 12 October 2010 (BST)

Then why hasn't it been added? --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 21:00, 12 October 2010 (BST)

Because you haven't done it yet? --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 21:04, 12 October 2010 (BST)

Wait...Who said I was gonna add them? @_@ --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 21:07, 12 October 2010 (BST)

Level 46?

Not sure where to put this... I've noticed there are three Civilians in Urban Dead who are at Level 46. How does one get to that level? I thought there were only 45 skills in the game. - Jacks LeRoy (talk) 03:04, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
