I'm just wondering how the overall experience gained from skills is being calculated. Is it the higher your level, the higher Skill you need to gain normal experience, or does it look at a Highest Skill and then decides that anything withing the range of 10 of the Highest Skill gains experience normally, while anything that falls out of that gains bread crumbs?
My guess would be that it is level dependant, but if that's the case could we get a table to see what level needs what skill level for progression to be made smoothly?
For example, I have a 20 in Light Armor, and Gunsmithing yielded around 2-7 experience each time it leveled up until it got to 10. From then onwards it started giving me 100 experience like everything else that is above a 10 skill level.
My current level is 5, seeing how I have 6 Abilites, and you gain 2 at first level and 1 every other level. So unless having a 20-10 is a coincidence, I assume at level 5 you need to have skillpoints above 10 to gain experience normally.
EDIT: Oh, just to clear up potential misunderstandings, since there are two types of experience. I'm asking about Character Experience (which goes into leveling up your Character) as opposed to Skill Experience.

Character exp works like so.
You have all skills at level 0, you level 1 skill up to 1. You get 50 exp. You level 3 skills up to 1, you still get 50 exp.
If you level up your 5th skill to level 5 for example, you will start gaining decreased exp for EVERY skill under level 10
Once you breach the level 10 - 20 milestone, you will start getting 100 exp per level.
Once you reach your 5th skill at level 15, for example, you'll start getting less exp again.
Make sense?

So that's how it was! Thanks for clearing that up for me. I'm assuming this is a countermeasure so that you don't get too out of hand with Character levels if you start leveling every skill available.

That's not all there is to it though. Axel has multiple skills between 20 and 30 , the more skills I have in the same range I start to get decreased XP. when my skills rank up now I think I'm getting about 69 XP per skill lvl up

It would mean for maximum xp, never have more then 4 skills progressing to the 5 of a 10s level at a time |

You basically get an allotment of levels in each range. You guys are way overthinking this stuff.
(I think) it's 3 skills in a range before you start getting less, so you basically get 30 ticks of levelling across all your different skills where you gain full xp regardless of if you level all your skills from 10 -> 12 or if you're just levelling three from 10 -> 20.
You will gain the same amount of xp regardless of if you're concentrated on three skills or evenly levelling all of them. It's just a matter of what tier you're doing this in, and in the longer term I don't think trying to level up everything is very sustainable.

I might have been spoiled by Runescape, since that was the very first multiplayer game I ever played when I was a kid, but if I see that I am able to level everything, I will attempt to level everthing.  |

There is nothing stopping you from levelling everything. It's just that you won't get much use out of that because once you start getting abilities in your main skills they will vastly outperform skills of the same level that you don't have abilities invested in.
