I can't seem to find a link, but I'll try to explain best I can.
For a couple of years, I used a plugin called XP Advisor. What it did was you select what skill you're wanting to raise and the plugin would list whether you should raise your attribute X times or raise the skill directly. It was EXTREMELY helpful in making the most efficient choices for spending your experience. Unfortunately, the author hadn't updated it in a long time (since no updates were really necessary unless new skills were added) and has probably quit playing since then. Would anyone have the time to remake a plugin like this? It wasn't terribly advanced, it just did simple calculations based on known point-cost information, so in theory, it could be a side project that could be done without dedicating a lot of time. It would be really appreciated by a lot of us, I'd imagine.

I used to use XP miser. I would also like to see such a plugin once again.

It's not very hard to do rough estimates in your head.
For example, say you want to raise sword: (Strength + Coord) / 3. Try to make it so both Strength and Coord cost about the same to raise, and sword costs about 3x as much as either strength and coord. Round generously to make the multiplication easier; it doesn't need to be exact. Also, always round sword's cost up, since raising either Strength or Coord 3 times will cost more than just 3 times its current cost (the cost goes up).
Of course, there are other considerations. If you're raising a secondary skill like healing: (Coord + Focus) / 3, chances are you've already raised Coord much higher than 1/3rd the cost of healing from raising sword. In that case, just keep healing 3x the cost of focus and don't raise coord as long as it costs more than focus.

I've used XP Advisor for kicks, but really what Digero just said is spot on - it's not that hard to figure out using that pre-installed plugin we all have, Brain 1.0.

I sent it in for a RAM upgrade.
Man, that was a rough month. I think.

I'm not going to downgrade simply for that feature. The only reason they took it out of the 2 latest versions was due to the extreamly vague patent lawsuit that the calculator people brought about.
