==General==

Typical rule of thumb for optimal overall [[skill]] gain is creating items with a chance of 50% (as shown on the item's menu), or improving items 10 [[quality]] (ql) higher than the related skill.

==Blacksmithing==

To get started, it's best to have a forge of decent (50+) QL. The reason for having a good forge is that the higher QL a forge has, the longer it will stay lit. It will also heat items up faster.

==Jewelry smithing==

To train this skill it is best to begin by making bowls. Bowls can be made of any metal, resulting in high resource availability.

==Carpentry==

The best way to raise [[carpentry]] is by building [[Wooden house|houses]]. Working to increase the sub skills like [[fine carpentry]], [[bowyery]], [[fletching]], and [[ship building]] also increase the parent skill [[carpentry]].

==Leatherworking==

To leatherwork you will need; a needle, an awl, some leather, a leather knife and a mallet.

==Locksmithing==

To raise lock smithing, you will need to make [[key form]]. This is achieved by using a key on clay, make sure the key is of low ql so that your success chance is around 50% for optimal skill gain. '''You do not need to fire the clay mold!''' After 25 lock smithing, the fastest way to get skill is to get a [[small anvil]] that is the right ql to get you a 50% chance to make a [[lockpick]]. A pure [[Circle of Cunning]] anvil is recommended for this.

==Mining==

To grind [[mining]] people usually ask for an insanely high [[Quality|ql]] [[pickaxe]] with [[Wind of Ages]] spell. This isn't the way to go. You want a relatively low ql pick with as much [[Circle of Cunning]] on it as possible, this will give a lot of skill if you mine [[rock shards]] with it as it heightens the difficulty and the mine time, its the mine time that improves the skill gain in mining, longer mine time = more skill #.

==Weapon smithing==

Do not care about Blades smithing and Weapon heads smithing skills, that skills you will get while making actual weapons over time. Best item to skill weaponsmithing to 40 are butchering knives, imping butchering knife takes only 0,06kg of iron. First make yourself about 150-200 butchering knife blades, don't care about failures, it will pass over time. Finish unfinished ones, do not imp blades it's a waste of time. For making blades use 1-20ql iron, anything over will be a waste. When you will make 150-200 blades also make same amount of wooden handles. Make first batch of butchering knives, use about half blades for making knives, finish unfinished butchering knives, set yourself a target ql (your actual skill in weapon smithing + 8-10 points. For example, having 10 weaponsmithing you will be able to make weapons with quality about 20). Improve all butchering knives you got to your target quality. After improving all butchering knives to certain ql you can check your skill again, set new target quality level, and proceed with improving them like 3 times. After improving all the butchering knives 3 times you should make another batch of butchering knives from the rest of the blades and wooden handles. You should notice a significant difference in success rate between two batches. Improve the second batch of butchering knives to average quality of the first batch. Then keep improving knives as your skill grows. after you gain about 30 skill in ws start thinking about making other weapons, be sure to have plenty of handles

==Woodcutting==

To grind [[woodcutting]], the best way is to get a good [[Circle of Cunning]] [[Hatchet]] and start cutting down [[trees]] in the area you want to use/ build on. Make sure you repair the axe after every 5-20 uses to raise your [[Repairing]] skill. A good idea is to go to an area that is not populated, or areas infested with unwanted tree types (i.e. fruit trees), and ask any locals before cutting down the trees; this helps to avoid angering people and the sharp pointy things they will stick into you ([[Wild]] servers). If possible, harvest [[sprout]]'s with a [[sickle]] and replant the trees.
