When upgrading my warp distance skill, nothing happens

I followed a friend through a portal to a different world, and found myself too far away from home base to warp back. No problem, I thought, as I had a few skill points up my sleeve. When I hover my mouse over the warp distance skill it reads as a +2 bonus, but after applying the skill points it now reads a +0 distance bonus.

Does anyone know how to get around this? Would appreciate any help.

I don’t exactly know what happened on your account but,

Warp distance skill upgrades your ability to make more hops when opening a warp.
Look at this map

With base warp distance you can only make 2 hops f.e Therka->Vulpto.
When upgraded you increase your maximum hops to 4 so you can perform a long jump f.e Therka → Epsilo
