Marty Friedman said in an instructional video he made, that there is no such thing as an important scale, the only scales you really need to learn are the ones you need to create you'r music.
Sure, learning various exotic scales can be instresting, but the point is you shouldn't pressure yourself to learn them unless you feel you need them for you'r music, and to be honest, having a goal of learning a whole bunch of scales is too big of a goal to be achieveable.
Start slow, learn one scale, try to create some music with it, and if while soloing you will feel something is missing, a note in you'r mind that isn't in that scale, find that note you want and look up what scale it makes up, and learn that scale next!
That's the most efficient way to learn scales in my opinion, otherwise you will probably learn a scale that you don't really know what to do with, and not only will the learning process frustrate you, but after a while you'll probably just foget it.
