Skill training and locks

Practice and skill locks#

Set a skill to Up to allow growth. Locked skills stay fixed; Down skills can give up points when another skill grows near the total cap. Growth also requires room under the individual cap.

Checks below the action minimum fail; checks at or above its maximum succeed without a training challenge. Choose actions appropriate to the current skill rather than assuming guaranteed tasks are good training.

The current anti-macro configuration is disabled. That does not remove requirements for living characters, allowed regions, skill locks and a valid action check.

Paid NPC lessons#

Use a teaching NPC’s training menu, select a skill and pay the quoted gold. The generic teaching ceiling is one third of that NPC’s base skill, at most 42.0 and no higher than your individual cap. Specific NPCs restrict which skills they teach.

Lessons require a living pupil, skill set to Up and free or Down-locked points. The quoted amount is one gold per 0.1 taught; a smaller payment teaches less. NPC availability and actual teaching values depend on placed NPCs.
