I have what would probably sound like a dumb question about these 40(or possible 80) skill points since this is related to crafting. Ok I have two skills past 60 but neither has quite hit 100 yet (alchemy and cooking both about 70). So anyway let say I get Alchemy to 100 and now I want to switch and make Cooking 100. Is that an one time deal where once i move those 40 points to cooking it is final or can i switch all 40 skill point back and forth between all crafts as many times as I want and need with out having to manually skill up past 60 all over again?

If I dont have to skill up all over again for those crafts past 60 after allocating all 40 points to one craft, then unless they are adding new recipes where the sub craft skill needes is higher than say 80 like (alchemy 100/ Smithing 85) then I really dont see the point in an increas but I guess I would still utilize it if it was available. On the other hand if it works like lowering a merited skill by one level means that if you want to raise that skill back to where it was before you have to regain all the merit points needed to do so then HELL YEA they need to increase those points to like 160 as far as i'm concerned.

I dont really craft for profit because the ah is garbage and everybody basically sells everything at or near what u would get from a npc so why bother listing it and the items that sell for higher are usually harder to get but I guess I could always do Abyssea(sigh). Anyway an answer to this question may help me to decide on whether or not to remove an earlier post so much thanks to anyone that answers this clearly in a YES or NO fashion.
