Bar Skills

Bar skills are skills that improve attributes such as hull space, speed, turning, thrust, negative weight and docking speed. They give a small increase, for a heavy price. To get all bar skills from 0 to 5 with bars, it will cost you a total of 78 Gold Bars and 9 Platinum bars.

The total cost for all Bar Skills from 0-22 in Free Market is 4,561,044,359,720 (4.56t). The total cost for all Bar Skills from 6-22 in Free Market is 4,427,070,992,441 (4.43t), meaning that getting bar skills to 5 with gold and platinum bars first will save you 133,973,367,279 (134b) in raw credits.

It is much cheaper to use Gold Bars and Platinum Bars to get the first 5 levels, after that you can only get higher skills by paying raw credits for it in Free Market at Von Mises. Let's call the starting Price a, then the formula would be credits for level y=a*(level x)^1.5.

Leveling bar skills from 5 to 10 can also be done using Shard of Empowerment that are farmed within the Anatolia zone. The crests that the mobs drops can be traded into Splendid Trove at the first ring galaxies outside of Anatolia. However once docked you may not undock unless you convert all your crests.
