How Much Does it Cost to Respec Your Character

Resetting your skill points can be done at any Quick-Change machine. It will cost you a small fee however, relative to your character's level. This means that the more skill points you have spent, the more you’ll pay, though it’s usually fairly inexpensive relative to the wealth you’ve amassed while playing.
