This checklist assumes that you will reach level 20 and complete all of the
missions, thus gaining enough skill points.  It also assumes that you complete
the missions in order without skipping ahead.  The checklist is in approximate
chronological order through the storyline of the game.

If you complete this checklist, not only do you beat the game, but you also
will unlock ALL of the Ranger skills.  The trainers listed in the checklist
obviously have more skills available than the few that are cited. However,
those skills are the only ones that you should purchase, as the rest of the
skills offered by that trainer can be gained from a quest without using up a
skill point.

Note that there are many skills that can be earned much earlier than stated in
this checklist by capturing from various bosses.  These are listed as (Optional)
CAPTURE items on the checklist.  The skills listed after the CAPTURE entry are
those that cannot be earned as a quest reward.  I strongly advise that you only
capture them if you desperately need that skill or the skill is NOT given as a
quest reward, as it will use up a Signet of Capture and a Skill Point.

Throughout the checklist, a tally of Skill points earned and Skill points used
is kept, for your reference, in case you want to plan ahead when buying skills
from your secondary class.
