Differences between primary and secondary skills?

[rek075]

What exactly is the difference between your primary and your secondary skills? One thing that is apparent is that your primary skills all start higher than your secondary ones... but is that the only difference? Do your primary skills raise faster than the secondary ones? Thanks.

I have been playing a while and am still wondering why all the skills are in the same list.
Haven't found any differences yet.

Your primary skills do raise faster than secondary and misc skills.

btw: This is in the manual

There is a post from a while back regarding Skills/Levelling basics. Will try to find and bump.

Does it generaly cost more to do 'secondary skill' training than it cost to do 'primary skill' training?
I haven't got the manual, downloaded the game

Nope, I actually increased Alchemy to 70 by training despite it being a Misc skill, which cost a fair bit of cash, but was well worth it.
