To the idiots who say grimoire is only ghosts...
Let me clear up the grimoire=dead ghosts claim.
Ghost account for about 5 grimoire each. Some Ghosts count for 10 or 15 though.
There are 77 dead ghosts.
77x5=385. Let's just round that up to approximately 550. Fair enough?
Only 550 score out of a possible 3620 (xb) or 3665 (ps) can be given to you by finding dead ghosts. While that is a substantial gain, it is not the key factor for a high grimoire.
You say Grimoire doesn't show skill? Let me brake it down.
Where did the other 3,000 points come from? It shows you have played a variety of PvE and PvP content, and that you have done them [u]multiple[/u] times. It shows commitment to the game. Whether that is a good or bad thing is up for debate.
Now, grimoire means, for the most part, [u]experience[/u]. You do not need a high grimoire score to be good. You can have a natural talent at the game.
But:
talent+experience=skill
When talent is refined with experience, that makes a player skilled.
[i][b]Being able to analyze the situation and go where you are needed without anyone having to tell you to. [/b][/i]
That is why grimoire, to me, means skill.
[b]Usually[/b] anyway. I will play with anyone, it doesn't matter to me. But, I will prefer people who have a higher score. I feel I can trust them to know what is going on.

7 RepliesGrimoire shows how much the player has bought into the game. If you have a high grimoire score it shows that you have taken the time to complete all of the achievements, people are correct when they say it doesn't make you a better player, however I will say this there is NO skill in any subject that isn't improved by practice. Yes some of the score is for finding hidden objects and to some this is a mundane task, some is for killing enemies - here comes the practice some is for obtaining certain weapons - harder activities therefore more practice. So yes you are correct it doesnt mean a player is a better shot, however it shows the player has played lots and therefore has practiced lots and experienced most if not all of the content depending on the grimoire score. I for one recognise the accomplishment of those players with maxed grimoire scores for they have achieved something not many in the game have!! Only lazy players whine and say it doesnt mean anything. If you truely do not care to do it you probably wont whine either because its irrelevent to you. So lazy ass players stop whining!
