Trait skills
You’ll have those traits available to use once you’re able to use them at level 30. And you’ll get skill points as you reach certain levels, do skill challenges, and do other certain activities.
The trait will be available once you reach level 30. You’ll need to get enough trait points to unlock the trait line however (you get these automatically as you level up from 30 onwards).
Also don’t worry about using up skill points, you can get an infinite amount of them, and more than enough to unlock all the skills without having to grind for XP.

Thanks a lot. Now i can go back to play :P
Keep in mind that’s it’s basically impossible to mess up your character.
You’ll be able to get tons of skill points – when you hit 80, each level up will give you a skill point, there are scrolls you can get that provide more, and enough challenges on the world to cover all your skills and more.
You’ll be able to get all the traits, though I’d suggest trying to unlock some of them for now, since you’re new. When you hit 30 and can see your trait panel, there will be a telescope icon on all the ones you don’t own yet. Doing the task on that will unlock the trait, or if you don’t want to, you can buy it from your trainer in the way you bought some already.
Also, for traits – you can reset them for free anytime you’re not in combat. So when you do get them, feel free to experiment. There are meta builds for different things, but it’s important to develop a feel for what options you have and how they work together, and being able to freely change them is a big help with that.
As for gear – stats are determined by rarity and level. Exotics (orange) gear will have you set for a long time. There is technically one that’s better, but it’s a small increase and requires a serious investment, so it’s generally suggested to wait until you know the game well and what builds you want. Exotic gear isn’t hard to get either. You can even get multiple sets and swap them outside of combat, to change builds further – the characters I play often have a few sets of armor that I swap between depending on what I’m doing.
So basically, don’t worry about ruining your character.
