==Carpentry==
 
To raise [[carpentry]] the best way is building [[house|houses]] or grinding sub skills like [[fine carpentry]], [[bowyery]] and [[fletching]]. Don't use [[Wind of Ages]] on your [[mallet]] when you're building, as it results in reduced skillgain.
==Digging/Terraforming==
 
To grind [[digging]] skill up, use a good [[Circle of Cunning]] [[shovel]] and try not to keep your eye on the skillgain; trust me it seems like you get your skill up faster. Look for an area you want to [[flatten]] or terraform, and then dig the areas needed and dump the [[dirt]] in areas needed. For example:-
==Farming==
 
The best way to grind your farming skill is to start with ''Bread crops'' or [[Wemp]]. ([[Oat]], [[Wheat]] & [[Barley]]) You may wonder why, but the reason is that you ALWAYS gain seeds for replanting.
To get started so should you start with a 10x10 field for maximum skill gain. Get a small barrel and LOTS of time and you are set. (Read the [[Farming]] article for common farming knowledge.)
 
==Leatherworking==
 
To leatherwork properly you will need:
A needle.
An awl.
Some leather.
A leather knife.
A mallet.
 
The best way to begin your leatherworking career is to make a leather belt. This is because leather belts are the easiest to make and you will most likely not fail. From then, get a peice of leather of higher QL than the toolbelt and improve it until you need another tool. Keep improving it and you will gain skill. Once you have a higher chance on other items, make lots of gloves and improve them all to 15QL. Keep doing this with higher dificulty items and once your skill reaches 10-15. Try and stud some of them (it takes 0.2 kg of rivets to stud ALL leather items apart from leather jackets which take 0.8)
==Lock Smithing==
 
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.
==Wood cutting==
 
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. If possible, harvest [[sprout]]'s with a [[sickle]] and replant the trees.
